Just heard from a usually well informed Govt. friend that a new law is to be passed that prohibits sexual relationships between non thai men and thai women where the age difference is more that 15 years. Those who are already married on the date the act is passed are excempt.I know this has been talked about for quite awhile but never thought it would come to pass. I guess Lek is just gunna hafto drop out of school and find her own way in life.

never happen ...........

Wind up.

This reminds me of last years Thai Visa April 1st Joke, where a Law Prohibiting Marriage To Foreigners Over The Age Of 50 Proposed To Thai Cabinet post sparked 1000+ replies.

The would close every beer bar and gogo in the country over night...silly is as silly does...

I wonder who will be the first to take the OP seriously? There's always one.

urban legend gap, lagging behind.

To be serious..

I'm glad this law might be passed. I just can't seem to give up the ol' grannies. I really do need a change.

Better dig out that application for Thai citizenship i've been putting off.

Cambodia's law is 50+ year old foreigners can't marry any Cambodia woman, no matter her age.

Burmese - no foreigners can marry any Burmese woman full stop.

Agree it's unlikely here, and not currently even a twinkle the eye of anyone of importance, but never say never.

IMO would be a blessing anyway, sorry teerak I cannot officially marry you, it would be against the law, so of course no sin sot either 8-)

I had a friend who married a muslim woman from Malaysia...there was pressure on him to "convert" to Islam and it was put to him that the marriage will not be recognised in Malaysia otherwise. He was OK to "convert" just to get on with life, until he realised there was to be a circumcision ceremony! OUCH.

Perhaps this "age" condition is not so painful after all.

re: the sin sot. Some unintended positive consequences.

Aung San Su Kyi was married to an Englishman, wasn't she?

I believe the law was passed long after that blessed event, and in fact may well have been one of the reasons behind it.

Apparently she didn't know any Burmese guys growing up, was brought up in the UK?

Have to tell the wife(when she comes back from school) that its ok we can stay together after all

Yes an English doctor, and she studied at oxford and her children live in the UK and one would assume she may even have a British passport, Further she completed a Phd at London Univeristy

Wow long time to be separated from your kids, hope she's had access to Skype and such. But I'm sure they've been well-supported by both communities, takes a global village and all that. . .
