What Region Of Thailand Is Your Partner From - Poll

[Sing_Sling]

An interesting topic was brought up on another thread regarding the - seemingly - majority of TV posters (because they are the only ones that can be heard here) have their partners (wife, girlfriend, boyfriend) hail from Isaan (North-East).

This would seem odd because Isaan makes up only bewteen 25 to 40% of the Thai population. Ludditeman mentioned that this may be because people from Isaan move to income-wealthy areas and that is where foreigners tend to visit. A valid point.

So, where does your partner (wife, girlfriend, boyfriend) hail from originally . . . let's see how scientific research can shed light light on this conundrum.

[Sing_Sling]

The votes are now pouring in . . . all categories have one vote - except for Isaan! That certainly screws up any pre-conceived demographic structure we had . . .

It's a private vote so no one can see your choice!

I cannot tell a lie.

Khon Kaen, and fiercely proud of it.

[Sing_Sling]

Nothing to say one can't be proud of it . . .

Interesting stats so far . . . Central surging ahead of North and North-East!

My wife comes from Bang Na, Bangkok and we live about 375 kmk from there in Khampaeng Phet province.

Thanks, gents . . .

North-East and North surging ahead with East still on zero . . . the results are a bit surprising

The catgegories/options are not too good, mine's Phetchabun, which is generally termed Central but is 4 hrs North of your nearest central listing and 4 hrs south of your North East option

[Sing_Sling]

Charlie - the regions are followed by city examples . . . (e.g. XXXX, CCCC)

I'm sure your partner would know.

I'd say Petchabun is right on the border of north and north east, would be either of those before central.

[DP25]

Here's a map. East and central are often grouped together as just central for 4 total regions

[Paangjang]

Isaan. Met my Thai lady in Pattaya, but NOT in a bar.

Strange, isn't it? Pattaya has so many Isaan people.

may wife is from Kolat in nakhon ratchasima. I think i spelt that right.

[arthurwait]

Looking at that map does Chonburi City count as Eastern and not Central even though it's half an hours drive up the Bang Na - Trat to Bangkok ?

[CharlieH]

That depends on what map you are looking at, but on Thai Visa forums its regarded as CENTRAL and on this map.............

GF tells me that the second map you have is right, although often people just think of west as being part of the others, because it's only like 4 or 5 provinces or something, but technically yes there's also a western region
