i love how op says 25-40%, very scientifc. googling is too hard?

Whoa, Einstein . . . those figures are from various sites obtained from Google, hence the disparity. Very scientific? I'm sure you're quite happy to apologise for being a presumptuous dick.

Did I call you Einstein?

This is what you look like now :

As we know where farangs mostly find their wives, it's quite normal that they are from Esan right ?

Last night's was from Nana.

He meant her place of birth.

Oops!

As we know where farangs mostly find their wives

But they'll never acknowledge it.

North. Met my lady in Chiang Mai, but NOT in a bar.

Technically it was a restaurant.

The percentages would show otherwise

But mine is different! Really!

I've got the only east coast girl - thus far anyway.

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

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

Yep, very strange.

As we know where farangs mostly find their wives, it's quite normal that they are from Esan right ?

Many folks fill in Bangkok when their partner lived there, even though her family would be from elsewhere.

You can lead people to a poll but you can't make 'em read it properly.

I married me a bkk city girl!

I see she didn't marry you for your grammar skills.

I was expecting more votes for BKK (central) as aren't most poster's partners hi-so chinese-thai's from Bangkok?

I find it strange how Thai people link themselves to a certain area. Our kids have spent a total of 1 month of their lives in Ubon but thats where they say they're from...

And vice versa probably! 5555555

My Thai-Chinese Hi-So wife is on the board of one of the biggest corporations in the country. In a land of beautiful women, she is a cover girl. Her father, an Army General, was so delighted that I agreed to marry her that he paid my family 10 million baht sin sot. My father, being Scottish, kept the money for himself.

On the day of the wedding, the new mother in law called in some favours from her Hollywood cronies and the venue was like a film set ( the mother in law owns a major film production company). I didn't get to see my wife for 6 weeks before the wedding as she was in a Nepalese Temple being taught the art of satisfaction ( Kama Sutra style ). At the age of 21, she was still naive in the ways of men and her mother insisted that she learn how to be obedient to me and to serve my every need in the bedroom. I love my Mother In Law, very much.

Realizing that I am the bearer of the precious seed of childhood, my new family insist that I do not work, in case I damage my future fertilization prospects. So I spend all my days lazing by the pool at the family palace. To alleviate the boredom, I have three ( ahem ) hand maidens to attend to my every need. If I ever want to leave the residence, one of the hand maidens calls Uncle Wit, the regional police commander, who arranges police outriders to accompany my limousine. It can be quite embarrassing when I only want to pop out for a packet of Cheerios.

When It is report to the wife that I have left the premises, the hand maidens get chastised for not attending to my every need, and often one get's fired. This results in a totally new hand maiden being delivered to me the next day. It really is a hard life.

I happen to know that every other Thaivisa member has a wife of the same calibre so I won't waste your time telling you where I met mine.

The Nepalese temple called. The abbot wants his ganja back.

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

Are you trying to suggest that I speak not the truth????

You are striking at the core beliefs of our Thaivisa membership !!! We all have wives just like mine !! ......... that Payboy is a bad boy, mutter mutter,

As we know where farangs mostly find their wives, it's quite normal that they are from Esan right ?

Do you mean "where most farangs find their wife" or is there actually a place where farangs go to establish their own harem? ?

Yes....send 100,000 baht to my Paypal account and I'll tell you where it is.

Looks like the Isaan Princesses have the game sewn up. As if we really needed a poll to tell us that.

Hiso Thai-Chinese from Bangkok/Phuket/Chiangmai/NOT in a bar my arse.

Well, in that other thread, I predicted 40% would have Issan partners, because 40% of the Thai population came from Issan.

Results currently stand at 37.5% from Issan, exactly as I predicted.

True, true . . . I thought I had been quite succinct

You're doing well . . . it took some time for the NE to get their act together

I'd still like to get some official stats instead of relying on Wiki and Thai newspapers

Interesting.

Someone I guessed that most farangs would be married or living with the poorer Thai women from the North East regions.

chiang mai,li,first one, doi tao,second one.

(wifes)

Try the south for the next one.

you no somet,i dont,lol.

My friend Google says ethnic groupings in Thailand are 34% Isaan (Lao), 32% Thai, and 16% Lanna (North).

Despite what 3 pages of comment say, it would appear, we are looking at a poll of ethnicity, and Farangs have no preference.

'official stats' ... I think that maybe you have a biased polling group from which the statistical relevance is unreliable.

Not implying though that the posters here at TVF are not good people!

Interesting idea for a post though ... sort of like a 'State of Origin' ... most Aussies will understand that comment.

Oh ... as for me, I married theblethers wife's younger and better looking sister (see post #44)

Note to self, when hiring new staff make sure that she is not theblether discarded hand maiden.

Ok, ok...I have to come clean. My wives were spawned in a fish pond in a rice paddy along the Mekong.

Issan

Makes me smile when the snidey comments arise about Isaan and the people. <deleted> me. I've travelled the length and breadth of this land and anywhere 15-20 kilometres outside a provincial capital is ( for extreme want of a better word ) Hillbilly Central. Nothing against hillbillies of course. To quote the great Roy Walker of Catchphrase "Just say what you see."

I've just spent the past 6 months commuting between Kanchanburi, Saraburi and Lopburi. With no disrepects intended at all ( Kan is especially beautiful ) the Amphur Muangs of these places make Khon Kaen ( where my home is ) look like a cross between New York and Tokyo with a dash of Los Angeles thrown in.
