Marriage to hi so girl

[asdecas]

Knew a guy thirty years ago that married into a wealthy Thai-Chinese family. He went to live in the family compound in Yannawa after the blow-out wedding, the wife had a kid and lost interest completely in both it and her husband. She started clubbing every night, and he ended up living in a caravan back in the UK.

If money is an issue now, it will only get worse as time goes on.

Before you pay any more help your son to finally grow up!

[namatjira]

Rule number 1, do not pay them money, rule number 2, no money no honey....

[SOUTHERNSTAR]

RUN RUN FAST !!!!

- Experience for life, sorry for your son. Could be good to hold some stocks for the time after.

The Son will not get enough income in Thailand to stay longterm in a "Hi So / but no money" partnership.

[nithisa78]

Hmm. I have explained several times, no such creature as HiSo. Though have a more clear understanding on the meaning, INSECURE.

This isn't sociology, some people have just been in the heat too long. Ex-pats included. This is mental health issue. Re-tune the drama.

Everybody sounds drunk at this altitude.

[eggers]

Sound like best advice for son would be to withdraw b/f "Not so Hi so" & family send YOU & him broke!!

[ChiangmaiRob]

Run Forrest, RUN!!!

[KIWIBATCH]

"I think you and I draw a different line on the definition."

OK, how do you define it then?

Because typically wealthy families with long history or those with titles are what one would usually consider HISO. There are members of the Singh family which is a very HiSo family that have members married to foreigners.

There have been some very high society weddings in the papers over the past few years that were mixed marriages.

Their are only three Indian families that are part of the Thailand Economy. They are the Narula's, Srichawla and the Shah family. Most of the Singh's in Thailand run money lending and tailor businesses.

The Narula and Srichawla families do not mix up with farangs in marriages. I know all 3 families and never came once across a farang.

HiSo is a bad word to use really.

I know many well off Chinese Thai's why control three of the banks in Thailand and as well many other businesses but they do not intermarry with foreigners, except one Banker that married a Swedish woman

Blackfox you are so wrong. I know plenty. Although divorced start with the number one daughter. Then for kicks go to the Pacific City Club...where many of the members who have farang husbands are very much upper thai crust. Or pick up a copy of the Thai Tatteler magazine and see photos of the many mixed couples. Usualy if the mother of the bride or grandmother is a kuhnying , they are hiso.

Yes you are right but many of those farangs hold Thai citizenship. They become Thai problem solved.

There are about 65,000 Indian Thai with full citizenship. However, there are about 400,000 persons of Indian origin settled in Thailand mainly in the cities.

A HiSo family in terms of assets should have at least 30 billion Baht in assets.

Their are not more then 500 families in Thailand that fits that profile so the others are called Want to be HiSo.

[missmekhong]

Hi So??

Plenty of so called Hi So garee

Your son is being duped, as are you. Put him in a cold bath and send him to Chile!

They are keeping 2 million baht Sinsod and you still think this is a Hiso family. Sorry gold diggers. 2million just for show maybe if both families are well to do or slightly older couple that both have a career. But younger couples just out of University starting a life would not need 2million to give a wealthy family.

Sounds like gold digger 101.

Dear OP,

You haven't mentioned what your son thinks.

[SOTIRIOS]

,,,we should get these situations recorded....something has to be done to stop this scam....

[wooloomooloo]

,,,we should get these situations recorded....something has to be done to stop this scam....

What scam?

A price was put to the table and it can be accepted, or not.

[gamini]

I had a close friend marry a very hiso Thai girl and it was the same. He got made fun of all time and he pretty much went broke with a business he went into/ joined with them.......

What is a hiso Thai girl? I have never heard of this expression. If he means a high class Thai girl, the girls familly would never ask for money and would pay thier daughters wedding expenses.I don't think any such girl would ever consider a foreigner unless he was very wealthy and had a bit of class too.

[SGX]

If she is truly Hi So girl she will never ever marry your son. end of story.

maybe her view of hi so is able to eat at mcdonalds and not from street vendor.

wake up.

[BlueSkyCowboy]

,,,we should get these situations recorded....something has to be done to stop this scam....

you may think that it is a scam, I think that it is an education.

[gemguy]

Ahhhhh yes ..yes indeed...lust can make you blind.......while love can make you bankrupt.

Just for fun you should get in his face and their face also and make an issue out of it and stop the payments and the money flow from him to them...and see where it goes.....just for fun that is.

Cheers

wake up.

Sad that you suggest that eating at Macky D is more HiSo than the street vendor.

Give me the street vendor any day

[overherebc]

If there isn't a son in Singapore after publicly murdering someone, they're not hiso.

Big difference between Hi-So and rich.

[DrTuner]

If they're Hi-So, obviously you'll need to start asking for a palace, benz and twenty burmese maids.

[Sydebolle]

Run while the running is good

[Mangkhut]

There only thing to do about women who always want money and to be economically supported etc etc - if they are hi so or others, thai or other nationalities - kick tbeir greedy asses out!

If you want to sponsor something - then sponsor your local football club, your local hockeyclub, the Salvation Army or the Red Cross or anything similar. Everything is better than a greedy woman.

[atyclb]

A reasonable person could conclude the OP as in the beatles song "paperback writer" is creating more fiction of entertainment value.

[realenglish1]

I have lived here for 15 years and I can tell you that you are being taken for a ride. Why are they not paying for the wedding

This sounds strange. Sounds like your girl is just borderline Middle Class if you are lucky. Be very careful You may be taken for a very expensive ride

[edhart]
