I think some people maybe just want to remain in Thailand and perhaps can envisage doing that without a Thai Lady to assist them with the place to live, etc rather than find alternate ways to stay

Thailand is a Matriarchal society like China,the woman runs the household,keeps the money and gives the layabout drunken husband pocket money,surely most people have realised that by now?

Not in my case.

Not in my case either, because I don't drink, and I already quit smoking for 4 months.
