So a 2 bedroom town house or the like is about 4k THB a month - kick your SIL husband into touch

1 - make him rent a house

2 - put him on a plane back to where he can work

3 - make him send cash every month

4 - Enjoy your life!

To the OP

Go on holiday for a month (or two), only taking the car and your wallet with you.

Everyone will soon get the hint, and your wife can phone you to let you know when they have all gone. Don't pay any bills, or hand over/leave any money for running costs when you are away.

I would throw them all out if they are taking advantage and not appreciative. If the wife has a problem with it she can go with them.

Absolutely agree, but I think it's up to the wife to show she cares (loves) her husband and his happiness is the most important thing to her. She should tell the sister that they HAVE TO leave by such and such date. If she doesn't do that then she is expecting the OP to take care of everyone, in which case I'd be out of there faster than a bat out of hell because there will be more.

Let her have what's there and go live a life.

My partner is a Thai. the advise is that your proplem is your wife, as she has brought this problem to your house and without doubt she needs to remove the problem, if not then she loves the sister more than you.. understand!! rolleyes.gif

Had a similar situation a few years back with the (now) ex wife. Made my feelings clear, the ex did the dirty work and they moved in with MIL. The BIL in my case was Lao but same situation. I think the OP's wife needs to tell her sister to get out. If I was the OP I would definitely make the Farang BIL feel uncomfortable and tell him the score. As for taking care of the kids....NO WAY!

They will ALWAYS love a family member more than you until SHE steps back and looks at HER future prospects. It takes time to work out but unless she is totally brain dead then the correct solution will prevail.

Yeah, the correct solution, but maybe one the OP doesn't like.

I would change the topic title if i could :" Another sad story from Isaan "

When will they learn ? .. Ah, well, another plane load is coming.coffee1.gif

As a Farang I would take the 'other Farang' to one side and give him the message in very plain and understandable terms with a cut off date for your 'help'. If they don't move out by the day specified remove all their kit out into the road.

As previously stated, your wife will always put her family before you, the Alien Farang, who is merely tolerated because you are financing the whole tribe. Sorry, but you have to man up and take the bull by the horns as your wife is never going to throw her sister and kids out. Indeed, it's tough, but she would rather throw you out first.

Sounds like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place there fella.

Is everyone in the household aware of how you are feeling or have you only discussed it with your wife?

Have let everyone know. Since wife seems to want to put it up to me, I've just laid out to her the end goal of them getting their own place and transport. Period. Next is to decide on near term date.
