Mine went to a "medium". Said "medium" told her to change her first name from Wanthanee (Nee) to Chutikarn, though everyone still calls her Nee.

What?????

I told her NO, NO, NO, NO! She did it anyhow....supposed to bring us good luck.

Passports, marriage certificates, how (house) papers, visa papers for me, baby's birth certificate.......on & on & on.

How stupid can a person be? It has affected NOTHING since she did it, aside from a stack of paperwork 2 feet tall.

Never in my wildest DREAMS would I consider changing the name my parents gave me.

????????????

Welcome to Thailand

Yeah.. Keep a good handle on all that paperwork, as now she needs to submit that with any future documents that she must do...as her name of birth has change.

Good luck...My lady's name is "Nee" as well. But That was changed from her real name. Tried for a visa at the US Embassy. Had to translate all that stack of paperwork.

They do this after a divorce..as well. Bad luck with the old name, or something.

Is jaywalker your christian name or surname?

Am not marry to one (i am not this big a ding-bat!)but a thai girl i once went out with did ask me in thai conversation how is it i know this thai word "gaurantee"

Haha i go on to tell her it is not thai word but English.

Then she ask her older (girl) friend,who is a bigger dingbat than she, to verify my claim as i guess because my english not exactly 100%

many other english word i hear them say, i guess is call 'romantized'? English, but many thai believe is a thai word.

i guess because of vowel sound and where 'ee' sound in word.

i even overheard thai talking to themself about something free and then translate to their farang bf that 'you no have pay' so maybe some think free is a thai word as well

And... Guys keep getting married. It doesn't matter which nationality. They are called Women. FFFF.

Ain't they cute, these wives of ours?

What would have done without them?

Yeh, can also think of many things..........but lets be good to them......for now.

I'd love to have a wife. Some else's wife. Send her back home to her ATM.

Yes, nothings changed, but, ask yourself what might have happened if she had not done it

Was meeting you bad luck?

Welcome to Thailand

Hardly unique to Thailand. Nancy Reagan used to run the US (barely behind the scenes) using an astrologer, as reported to a bemused public by a former White House Chief of Staff. Even the timing of the bombing of Libya was allegedly determined by the astrologer. Something like a quarter of the US population believe in such things.

First Lady Nancy Reagan's [relied] on a San Francisco astrologer to determine the timing of the President's every public move. This was more than a charming eccentricity shared with the 50 million or so other Americans who, casually or in dead earnest, look to the alignment of the stars for guidance. As White House chief of staff for two years, before he was forced to resign in February 1987, [Donald] Regan was in a position to see how the First Lady's faith in the astrologer's pronouncements wreaked havoc with her husband's schedule. At times, he writes, the most powerful man on earth was a virtual prisoner in the White House.

And Princess Di ...

Mr Jephson, a former lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy, worked for Diana between 1990 and 1996.

He said he was worried that she put so much faith in astrologers and soothsayers because this "fed the paranoia that never lurked far beneath the surface".

Mr Thai,

You bring up a few examples, however this is commonplace here in Thailand.

Good to see you are fighting the good fight, whatever that might be.

Thanks for the reminder not to marry a Thai woman.

Never in my wildest DREAMS would I consider changing the name my parents gave me.

Mine ( non - Thai) used oven cleaner spray on a vent hood . Cleaned the paint right off it!

Gayllips would like that though, if you were called Jay

got sh*t from my gf only yesterday - well educated, good job etc. but no common sense - she asked me if i spoke french, sure i know some because i learnt at school. she immediately accused me of having a french gf! that's nothing i said and rattled off even more spanish - i'd been put into spanish class because i was so bad a french. now she thinks i'm working my way through the women of europe. if only.

Wifey changed her name after being told, by a fortune teller, that it would bring her good luck.

Shortly after she met me and we later married. :-) :-) :-)

Astrological and religious beliefs have some irrational things in common.

Amazing what a guy will put up with to have regular sex with a hottie

Seriously though, she probably doesn't think you've got a French GF; she's just feigning jealousy because she thinks men expect it

Neverdie is my surname, you may call me either, 'Mr neverdie' or 'sir'.

I wouldn't change my name either, I mean it's worked for me for this long.
