TommoPhysicist Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Did they bring their own beer, and enough for you to drink too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuestHouse Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Before you let this go any further get a firm answer to the question how long are they staying? And follow that with equally firm questioning to confirm that when they leave they ALL leave. Once these points have been agreed make note to march out of the house clutching a wad of money in the direction of your nearest beer bars if the relatives overstay by more than thirty minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maprao Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Welcome to Thailand! Let them help themselves but keep your bourbon hidden cause it is all fair game. They will leave when they feel like it. The more generous you are the longer they will stay! Edited April 11, 2012 by maprao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrona Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 stop being so tight...get your bourbon out and have a party, share and share alike....be as welcoming as they would be if it were you just turning up on their door...heck even offer them your bed... and whilst you are at it whats your husband say on the matter?

HeavyDrinker Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Indeed. Lock away your best booze and food, tell the wife you'll be back when they've gone and head to the hills (bars). Frankly I'd be asking why your wife doesn't have enough respect for you as to ask you/tell you beforehand. I'd guess you've been invaded for the duration... Good luck. If I were you I'd have turfed the lot out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuturatica Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've heard this kind of story before... They will rinse you for your money, food and booze most likely. Welcome to Thailand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJIC Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Yes you should be pissed off,as I would be, Thais have to realise.we westerners also have a culture, which does not always welcome unannounced guests without prior arrangement, <deleted> isn't it obvious its B****y rude to say the least. Is that so hard to understand??? Edited April 11, 2012 by MAJIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangme Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If you don't kick them out, should at least do what you want, go to the bar, come home drunk, be an obnoxious farang, embarrass the wife, make the guests feel uncomfortable, etc, etc. Bottom line you make it clear to all that you are not ok with this. Then be ready to deal with the wife after they leave. Posted with Thaivisa App http://apps.thaivisa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbonOz Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Get on your bike and start peddling as fast as you can, I am sure there will be a welcome for you in the local hospitality establishment. Tell the wife she have the Thai style party, you are off for a farang party. Go back when they have gone. Have you ever met any of them before?

barefoot1988 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Once my spouse yoga friends and shopping companions (all thais) decided to drop by my apartment (both my spouse and me arent thai btw). attractive young ladies but hella of a crude people imo. They are really LOUD in their conversations, really annoying, kind of reminds me of barking poodle next door. My biggest regret was actually to be friendly and prepare some snacks and food for them. God dam, those are barbarians in the making, making a hell out of a place. My computer mouse now smells like tomato ketchup and i actually found boogers around my computer desk.

David48 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 How ever you handle the situation will set the precedent for next time it happens ... and it will happen, Thais being all open family and the like. Don't be surprised that you are hit up for a 'loan' to help them travel back from whence the emanated from. If you do leave your home, you do lose a portion of control over the situation. But I would advise that you do go and hid the 'good stuff' and the 'cash stash' ... just in case. Come back in a few days to here and let us know what happened ...

necronx99 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I don't think you should be giving your six month old cold jimmys, regarless of how good his conversation is. As to the invasion, this is what Thai's do. Retire to your secure area (you do have one I hope?) and wait it out, or evacuate after securing all valuables including trinkets, gadgets, tools and booze..

loong Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 If you have locks, lock all rooms' doors that you don't want them to have access to. It really bugs me when they go snooping around rooms uninvited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombkk Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Quite a number of negative comments here. Thais do visit each others, family bonds are very strong. If you don't like it, why do you live here, I wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamnication Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This is what I do. They arrive, I sawadee to them, big smile, unplug my ipad, go to the bedroom, turn on the air and live life. Oh, and plug in the headset. As to relatives staying a few days, put your foot down and say NO! OP, you are the man of the house, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, his wife knew about it and I think she is house owner and can invite her relatives if she want. However I would do the bar beer trip, as suggested by others.
