What Region Of Thailand Is Your Partner From - Poll

[Sing_Sling]

Clearly I'm not the only one, am I. Have you heard of the saying 'play the ball, not the player'?

Your bitchy remarks didn't only mention punctuation nor lower/upper caps

Now that doesn't make sense. I'll arrogantly suggest that you're not a native speaker either.

Of course anybody of reasonable intelligence would have surmised that the main gist of my post was to knock the poster for insulting a vast swathe of the Thai population which as far as I'm aware is against forum rules. Unless of course you support his rather derogatory views. Which makes who the arrogant one? You or moi? See? I am multilingual after all.

BTW why the staunch support of someone making such offensive remarks? Are you his nellie or something?

You may suggest whatever you wish and obfuscate the issue . . . and if the 'main gist' (do you really need to use 'main' with 'gist' or is that a tautology?) was to knock the poster for his view (which was rather dimwitted and offensive imho) then you should have done that instead of trying to mock his linguistic ability - or lack thereof.

Trying to now make me out to support his opinion is not only rather weak but also neither smart nor witty - but that's your level of intelligence and rapier-like wit, rather the lack of it.

Again, it is

for you . . .

Last night's was from Nana.

Brilliant

+1

[Sing_Sling]

Lots and lots of votes in and the percentages seem to mirror those of the population in general, with the exception of the East.

Browsing the Thai government sites it seems most links are down or 404s, so we'll have to rely on foreign sources, though this one bowls a few googlies with further delineation:

http://www.citypopulation.de/Thailand-Cities.html

Though the population if Isaan, as an example, is 30% the proportion of partners is 35% - not really a huge difference.

The North comes in at 25% with a populaton of 20%

etc....

Hmm, how to do a summery to this?

Are the results a surprise to anyone?

[transam]

OK, these are the eyes of my 23 year old daughter, where would you think she was from ?

And no not UK. You might be surprised (or not)

[Sing_Sling]

She could be anything from southern European to Middle East and anything and everything between there and Japan (skipping Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and some other 'stans).

I'd settle on Chinese

A lovely looking young lady, even from the small portion that can be seen.

Everyone thinks the same, half farang half Chinese but she is Isaan and we cannot find any recent Chinese family so it shows that Chinese is well into the countries fabric and the guys that spout oh my lady is Chinese, well think Chinese is across the board in LOS.

Petchabun is northern not central.

Anybody have or ever had a girlfriend from Satun province? Never met another farang with a Satun partner.

half the central vote, say down to 12% from 24% and move that to Isaan to make that 48%, (to take into account the "she is actually half Chinese but grew up in Bangkok" bias/self delusion) and the results would be pretty much what i would expect.

i saw her eat a moon cake she must be chinese

[arthurwait]

Yes every girl that has ever married a farang is Esarn. No girls of Chinese decent has ever married a Farang. It's all just a big fabrication.

[farangme]

Funny how posters on TV who may face prejudice in the west just for being with a Thai demonstrate their own prejudices in regards to what part of TL their partner is from or what their cultural backgrounds is...hmmm...

The poll would seem to belie that . . . unless posters placed an incorrect tick, which would be quite stupid considering I made the poll private

[nong38]

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

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

Perhaps there is a direct bus service, with squat toilet.

[nong38]

I can see that a lot of people from from Issan have moved to the Eastern Region, purely just to even out the population, there is plenty of room in Chon Buri province althoug to balance the male/female position only females are required

[nong38]

My babe is from Kampheang Phet, we met whilst I was looking for the Chang Brewery, I quickly found out there was to KPP than Chang! Then I whisked her away to Nakhon Sawan.

[mstribling]

I think the guys always bringing up the Thai/Chinese HiSo bit watch to much TV. Specifically channel 7 soaps. We have a large Thai/Chinese population and no one here thinks anything about it.

My wife's grandfather is Chinese and she's both thin and dark.

[onionluke]

I work on building sites with Chinese men and they take a tan quite well . Like berries . Chinese women do too but invest in cosmetics and sun blocking creams and placebos for to battle against tanning . They are constantly bombarded with advertisments glamourising milky white skin . My wife is from ........ fill in the gap , she speaks Cantonese fluently but remembers where she came from .

[fredtitmus]

Thai/Chinese Phuket, her parents from Phuket to..

Were do you guys find your issan ladies? in bars or what. dont not understand how you can live with girls from Issan, most girls from issan have no education and zero money, then you most send money home to the village each month haha

what a wanke_r!

Have you ever even lived in Issan territory? No education!?! My wife's from Khon Kaen,a university graduate and speaks 3 languages.What languages do you speak? Actually dont answer that,i can see your still having trouble with ENGLISH.

[Sing_Sling]

I get the 'dark' reference but 'thin'?

[theblether]

By the way, I have never understood this obsession about Chinese girls..............if you want a Chinese girl just go to China. There's 600 million of them!!

If you do go, get yourself into the Karaoke bars..........

[IanForbes]

I can't find the option of voting for more than one. So far it's Sakon Nakon, Chiang Rai and Mae Sariang. I stay in Chiang Mai.

[David006]

Wonder if there was a similar thread run in, say the UK....? Would be some interesting results I am sure.

Is your wife from Leeds or 'uddersfield or Stepney.

What is her background?

Did she sleep with anyone who spent 100 bucks on a dinner and a movie or just a pint and a packet of chips?.....

Does she have C & G in home economics/'airdressin or does she have a tertiary education in ancient history?

Do her parents living in Harlow New Town or Knightsbridge.?

She's not foreign is she?

Whew - lucky there isn't a poll like this for the UK . . . especially with all the parameters you propose!

[Livinginexile]

My wife comes from Kanchanaburi - West - but it's not on the poll!

Actually In all my years in this part of the world I have never met another Farang with a Kancha GF/wife.

I used to have one but i never even met anyone else from Kanchanaburi

Most Thai in our region with Chinese blood tend to be plump. Certainly not the tall, elegant beauty that many pretend to be involved with.

Surely that's a regional, your region, dietary thing . . . but generalising and calling Chinese tall and elegant is a stretch of the imagination to the other side.

Chinese range from very tall - taller than most Westerners - and very, very white to the shorter and darker, or more easily tanned, which are from the southern regions . . . and which most prevalent in Thailand

I agree completely. Seems folks are different everywhere.

In our region ( Chanthaburi) Having Chinese blood is common. No one even mentions it.

[Sing_Sling]

Chanthaburi?

I used to live there, in Silaporn Ville . . .

True, lots of Chinese descendants there, even a few Chinese language schools . . . the main hardware stores and furniture stores are Chinese owned . . . not the Thai/Chinese mixes. These people still speak Hokkien or Canto - made my wife's life much easier as she couldn't speak a word of Thai.

The larger rubber plantations and most factories are owned and run by Chinese.

Had a great time being invited to their houses and eating real Chinese food - I think we had more Chinese acquaintances than Thai
