Popular Post pigeonjake Posted June 16, 2012 Popular Post Posted June 16, 2012 hi all, im sick to death of reading how bad all these thai girls are,!! so lets have some possatives, my wife is 20years tounger then me, weve been together 7 years and i couldnt wish for a better lady, we have a very succesful pig farm, so she dosnt need me that pig farm would keep her and her family very happy now,it runs itself so many pigs out so many pigs in, we have pigs going out evry month, what im saying is that we love each other, weve got a baby due in sept, yes i do give her mama some money, but before some on here say NEW IT, she works for us, she gets 10%of our pfofits per month, im in scotland at the moment, yes i still come to work for aprox 3 to 4 months a year, i get good money so its very hard to turn it down, and im only a welding supervisor, but like i say my wife is beautiful and i mean that as a person, she maybe isnt the most beautiful looking lady in thailand, but shes a 100 out of 10 in my eyes and i love her dearly, so just for once can we put some succseful storys on here, all thai girls arnt bad,,,, theres good and bad in all, one thing i would just like to say and this is only me thinking, is i dont think people work at there relationships as hard as i think they should, see if you split up here you can just go and get another, so i think that is in the back of some minds over here, just my thoughts of course, thank you jake 9
LucidLucifer Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I think there are probably many people on here that have successful 'real' relationships, it's just the ones who have been burnt tend to shout louder. Congratulations to you, and I hope your happiness continues for your whole lifetime..... 1
pigeonjake Posted June 16, 2012 Author Posted June 16, 2012 thankyou, same to you my freind, its just gets to me, if they dont like it that much and they think all thai lady are bad, just go home and find a nice beautiful lady in there own county
TommoPhysicist Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Coming up to 5 years married now, my wife has a farm and we grow corn. She is also 20 years younger than me and quite pretty. Our latest boy is nearly 9 months old and we are working on producing another. We don't argue (apart from the 'where did you put my keys' sort of stuff) and I'm very happy living with her. I hesitate to predict another's feeling towards me as that is a very slippery slope, but she claims to be happy with me.
edwinclapham Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Good luck to you also Jake! I have no complaints at all! Happy as Larry!
pigeonjake Posted June 16, 2012 Author Posted June 16, 2012 well dont to you too, ill say another thing, i love it with my wife, and we are the same ill say darling were have you put so and so, or your dad got my chaisaw, you know the stuff, like i say im in scotland now, and i miss here like hell, ive just been chating to her now, and shes crying, shes at the hospital again july 3 and she say i wish you was there, and i does get to me being apart but this money is just extra for our and the childrens future so i have to do it, yes maybe when the pig farm is bigger ill stop but im only 51 and im still very fit, so ill work for a few more years, good luck to everybody who wants there relaitionship to work jake
krisb Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Pworrrrrrrr, pig farms stink soooo bad! Im happy as a pig in sh*t with my missus. We are expecting our first ha sip ha sip superstar in a few months also and I cant wait!!! Theres more of us happy with Thais than un happy just the unhappy put the stories out there I feel. How do you handle that smell from the pig farm mate? seriously I like pork but that smell drops me badly. Sorry if Im carrying on like a pork chop!
pigeonjake Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 hi mate, congrats on the baby,, the smells not to bad, the pigs are a good way from the house, and to be honest if you keep them clean they dont smell much, we wash them down twice a day with that run off water going into the pond, ive just rang home and my wife and mama was just washing down, the pigs love to be washed down, there clean animals, i do agree with you that there is a lot of happy people out here and the ones were is as gone wrong seem to make a lot of noise, thats why i started this so us that are very happy get make some noise too,,lol, i love it here, i dont think i could be happier, i know im 20years older the my wife but i do believe we are in love, might sound very soft looks soft and im writing it,,lol, i know my wife loves me and the family also respect me too, like you know im in scotland at the moment and ill be here for another couple of months, but that money i get for this would keep us if needed for years, all i wanted to get across is that there is some very very happy couples here, like us on a farm in a thai village, or in a condo/house in the city, dont matter were you are if your happy god blessyou all, i do have my true tv, so im not like a thai family as such, i dont have air con, we are shaded and we just have fans, im happier now then ive ever been in my life, my ex wife in england when i get to pick my son up allways asks what its like, i tell her im the happiest man alive, jake 1
ShanePashen Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Great story and I'm very happy for you. I just got married, my wife is 16 1/2 years younger than me, very beautiful and I feel lucky to have her in my life. Working on a visa right now. She has never asked me for a dime by the way. I am full of hope and expectation for the future. Although I am well aware no one has a crystal ball!
simple1 Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Been married with Thai woman for 17 years, still going strong. Now living back in Thailand
pigeonjake Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 good on yeh mate,, all the best for aother 17,,,, jake 1
2unique Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Married for almost 7 years been together 9 have a kid of 4.5 years old. A wonderful mother and wife. We have our fights and we have our laughter. I've never been asked for money but it has become established that I pay all bills except groceries and she pays her own car, family responsibilities and credit cards. Her biggest asset is that she's ambitious and sets herself goals that she can achieve on her own then methodically sets out to achieve them.

Baerboxer Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Married for nearly 10 years now. Have two lovely children. Currently live in Thailand but have lived in Euorpe and Middle East together. My wife is 19 years younger than me, but incredibly adaptable and supportive. A teacher, who has taught in several countries, she is much more knolwedgeable on children than me. I know many farang with Thai wife's and 80% are successful relationships, Good luck with the pig farm and enjoy your wondeful marriage to the full. You are lucky to have found the right partner.
SICHONSTEVE Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 We have been married for nearly 4 years and have nearly 350 children!!! At 55 years old I am 5 years older than my wife and we are private kindergarten school owners. We got married (both our first marriage by the way) when she was too old to have children of her own, but looking after the children in our school is much more of a handful than having our own children - as you could imagine!!! She is an absolute gem and was a school owner before we met (she also had a business in Bangkok employing 300 people before that) so I knew she was not after my money. She could not marry a Thai as they find her imposing and too intimidating as she stands up for herself and they wither before her. All she was looking for is someone who is warm and would care for her and I was lucky enough to come along. She cannot do enough for me and we never argue (I refuse to as I don't like arguments). I would never move back to 'old blighty' as my happiness on moving to Thailand and marrying my wife has transformed my life into something worthwhile. I retired (effectively) at 51 although I assist with some part time English teaching of our children. I live a life of leisure and never ever dreamt that I would have my own swimming pool - before we got married I stated that I would only marry her if we never got divorced (I don't like divorce either and refuse to contemplate it). She thinks she is the luckiest woman in Thailand as I am all she was looking for in life and I am as happy as Larry, so we are both in this 'for the long run' and will be together for eternity!!! 2
pigeonjake Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 what a beautiful story, god and buda bless you both, your both very lucky to of found each other, and like i tell my wife, we will never be rich but to be honest all ive ever wanted in life was to be happy, i was adopted at 13month old, so i do know about harship in life, my life started the day i met my wife, jake
glenmohr Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Like wise , Very inspiring stories above . I am only a few months with a Thai widow but she has never asked for money and I am woken with a kiss every morning. However she is over the moon when I give her family a few bottles of beer!
Popular Post villagefarang Posted June 17, 2012 Popular Post Posted June 17, 2012 Had a similar thread just recently, my Thai wife is lovely, and this was my contribution. There are plenty of positive threads if you just look a little harder. She is the light of my morning. She is the joy of my day. She is the warmth of my night. Together in love, never we fight. Together 15 years and married 13. Twenty year age difference, and she is still my best friend and favorite companion. 3
Popular Post luangtom Posted June 17, 2012 Popular Post Posted June 17, 2012 I have been married to my Thai/Isaan wife for 39 years now. I met her during my stint in Thailand during the Vietnam conflict. I was in VN working with the Thai military and they were removed back to Thailand to concentrate on the Laos situation and I was sent right back along with them. I wound up in a support capacity to them and lived on the economy in the Isaan. We married in May of 1973, after having lived together for six months. We have been together since. There have been ups and downs, mostly of my doing, and we remain together. I inquired of her as to why and she gave me that "for better and for worse, sickness and health" response. So, I am happy to say we qualify as a successful story of marriage amongst two nationalities. I have never been asked but once for any money for her family and then it was for an expense I already knew about. Her first talk to them about me was, "If he has extra funds, he will share. If he does not, do not ask, as he will feel bad and lose face to himself in not being able to help you." It has never been brought up since then, so many decades ago. We are both now retired and visit our Isaan home whenever we can. We just were there for Songkran 2555...... 6
pigeonjake Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 gongradulations, 39 years, may you both have many more and your happiness continue, i hope me and my wonderfull wife can do the same, jake
Popular Post bobbyd1 Posted June 18, 2012 Popular Post Posted June 18, 2012 Great post Jake. I enjoy reading through the positive side of Thailand women. I was with my Thai wife for 36 years (33 years married) before she passed away with cancer in 2008. She was the Love of my Life and I have nothing but praise and thanks that she entered my life in 1972. Once you except the Thai culture, person and be honest and caring you will find Thai women are the best in the world. Of coarse this is my humble opinion and I am happy to post this good success story. I miss her dearly and she will always be in my heart forever. 10
peebee Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 My Thai wife and I have been married for 30 years now. We are the same age (59). We have 2 terrific adult sons developing good careers and we have great families in Thailand and Australia. My wife's family and my family have met several times and get along together very well. No doubt having a similar education, business backgrounds and views on life has made this easier for us than for some others but there were still lots of issues and stresses to deal with over those years, some due to cultural differences and some just normal life/money/family/work issues. Mostly, however, those 30 years have been good times and lots of laughter. We look forward to another 30 years or so together in our retirement. 1
pigeonjake Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 hi bobby, im so sorry for your loss, but like you say my freind you had a beautiful life together and yes you still have the memories of your life together, i just hope and pray i have the same as you boys have, Peebee well done to you both too, its very warming to me that there is these storys and that i dont have to keep reading all the other stuff that people like to write, we had our problems, see my wifes father is so so lazy, but ive explained you dont get anything in this life for nothing, i told my wife at the start of things, i still have to work, im not rich i told her but i have a lot of love to give to the right person, now we have the pig farm and mama works with my wife when im not there, as at the moment im working in scotland and ill be here for another 3 months, ive just rang my wife, i ring 2 times every day and we have a little chat, i just want to get back before the baby is born on the 20th sept, but me going to work like i do for 3 or 4 months a year, has helped with the first thing i told them about having to work for money, yes our pig farm keeps my wife and mama very good, but im afraid i dont help papa, hes younger then me, but like my wife says what can she do, she knows hes lazy so does mama, they just except it, it never couses any problems, mama comes down to our house and ill be cooking some nice falang food and shell come to eat some too, but papa never comes, he knows how i feel, but as long as my wife her mama and grandma ar happy then so am i, i love it when they all come down and i see them all smiling, that makes me feel good, they have all told papa to get a job or at least do a little bit more around the place to help mama, but he wont, his choice, keep the success storys coming in, its great to here from you all, god bless you all jake
peebee Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Jake, you and your wife have my admiration, keeping the family and business going when so far apart. This sort of commitment and understanding over a long period is not common and hopefully it produces the results you want. I would suggest that with a bub due soon you might need to look at ways of being together more, such as you living in Thailand. Can the pig business be developed even further to provide a good income so you can afford to live in LOS? Can you set up a welding business in Thailand? Finally, pleased to read of you understanding the need to accept your father-in-law as he is because that will be important to your wife. Successful mixed-race marriages work when both have a commitment to the marriage, want to be together every day, and are prepared to understand, work through and compromise on the cultural, language and other differences, including expectations. I really do wish you both the best for the future.
crazykopite Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Great to read so many happy stories I am also very happy with my married life only difference is my wife is English but we love each other very much even though we are not spring chickens. Marriage is about understanding one another ,being considerate, sharing and most important being honest. My mrs tells me every day without fail that she loves me very much I only wish that I was the same but it has never been in my nature to be sooooooooo romantic but I know she understands we do everything togther laugh, smile and sometimes even cry !!!!!
villagefarang Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I’m not so sure about the honesty part. I chide my wife for being too honest, often reminding her that she is supposed to be telling me beautiful lies, like how wonderful I am. After 15 years she doesn’t need to be reminded quite so often. 1
TheWalkingMan Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I like all the stories, both the good and bad.
clinton114 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 The success stories don't stick out in my mind. Here's a failure... www.tanapornsomsit.com

simple1 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 The success stories don't stick out in my mind. Here's a failure... www.tanapornsomsit.com from reading the blog what would you expect from an internet dating site - however she is cute EDIT: The scam referred to is very common - indeed there was a documentary on Australian TV that talked to the exact scenario described in the blog
simple1 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Following on from my post #29 I have been married with a Thai Muslim woman for seventeen years, the majority of the time based in Australia - now living in Thailand. Sure there has been ups and downs, but we are happy and content. I anticipate being together until the day I die.
