To the 5 something years of marriage.

[villagefarang]

are you paying for the marraige or is it an equal partnership?

No its unequal she gets about 3-500k a month I bring nothing.................. sorry to spoil your stereotype

Actually, this is a Thai Visa my wife makes more than me stereotype.

The women I know who make close to a million a month certainly wouldn’t be caught dead married to some clown on ThaiVisa.

[villagefarang]

Are you sure about that....?

Does Mrs.Villagefarang know what you are up to 24/7...?

They are mutual friends and we have great times together. And yes Mrs. VF does know what I am up to 24/7.

[villagefarang]

Are you sure about that....?

Does Mrs.Villagefarang know what you are up to 24/7...?

They are mutual friends and we have great times together. And yes Mrs. VF does know what I am up to 24/7.

But you are one of us clowns on TVF, what does your Mrs think about that...?

She is willing to make an exception in my case.

To measure the degree off "happiness" within a Farang/Thai" marriage by counting the years the marriage has already lasted is not of much use. Because:

- Still today, for Thai-Females, a major factor by choosing a husband is still "will he be a good provider or not". Generally, Farangs make good providers, right?

- The full brunt of the "Cultural-Difference", comes only into full effect when "the good provider" should turn into a "liability" for whatever reason.

At this point, the duration of a marriage, measured in years, becomes completely irrelevant, from a Thai-Viewpoint.

Remedy: Never turn into a "liability" !

Expats: Hard to swallow, but we don't live in Kansas or Birmingham anymore.

Cheers.

[villagefarang]

Statistically speaking I believe most marriages don’t last, regardless of nationality, and things like money and infidelity are at the top of the list of things which go wrong.

I'm just going through the ending of something that turned out to be very unpleasant, but have a mind bogglingly wonderful daughter, a very nice supportive family and every intention of staying here in this amazing country. With fabulous, food, fashion, traditions and women. Although I am currently going out with someone from another country, if it works out I would want to live here with her. That seems a bit ridiculous but its just happened that way.

This is a fabulous place and I don't blame the country for the unpleasant experience I have had with one of their citizens. it had its good moments too. A lot of them.

I think its ridiculous for people to condemn a whole country because their marriage didn't work out. With something like a 50% divorce rate in many western countries, is it actually worse here? I don't think so. I know some absolutely charming, honest, hard working women here who would make brilliant wives and there are many happy couples.

There are also just too many narrow minded, bigoted, negative, people on TV, that can't wait to air their petty little frustrations. Most people that are reasonably happy, just don't have to gabble on about it. The negitive ones do so because they feel uncomfortable inside themselves and have to "air" their dirty internal washing for us all to smell in the breeze. Its a blogging hazard thing. A narrow minded mingers and whingers parade.

[swissie]

I see you have lots of replays .

Very happy for you and your life in thailand.

But the truth is to many bad things happen here to western man .

So it is great you get on TV and tells us about the good part of thailand.

I like it here yes but the story's I hear and things I read make me think that thailand is not what it is made out to be .

So I am so happy to read your story.

You would be in the 5 % of the lucky ones .

If any casino would only offer me a 5% winning chance, I would not sit down at their roulette-table.

But the Thailand-Love-Roulette is not based on mathematics, it's based on.............never mind.

Cheers.

....... and every intention of staying here in this amazing country. With fabulous, food, fashion, traditions and women.

Amazing Thailand, the food is low quality, over spiced and with too many additives, fashion is great if you like the 'slutty hooker' look, their traditions were mainly invented by an half Chinese army general in the 1930s, and the women are mainly cheap gold-diggers.

Oh, and I've never had a relationship in Thailand fail, not that the loss of 1,000bht would be that big a deal.

Absolutely typical. Thank you for being the first to demonstrate in print the totally negative mind brigade at its hopelessly unhappy best. If you don't know where to buy your food, then find out or move out. If you don't have the eyes for the fashion that French and Italian designers come out here to copy, then get a new pair of eyes. Or start opening the narrow focus glasses through which you see the world.

You just can't stand it can you? People that see and appreciate because they have the eyes for it and you don't. You will, in life, attract the scenarios and proof of your stuffed up belief system, no matter where you live. Prognosis? Not good. You are at risk of dying from an anger related disease within 5 years. Do some meditation. You need it.

Sorry, I'm not angry about anything, I enjoy the cheap women, but once that urge has been satisfied I'm glad to get back to my homes in France and Spain, countries I really love. Good food and bread, cheap wine, clean countryside, sea and beaches. Thailand really is a second rate place, full of western men who don't have the money, sense or options to live in nicer countries. I can't imagine living here full time any more, was here for 3 years, shagged myself silly, now I'm just happy to be a sex tourist for a month or two each year.

To be perfectly honest what fashion and what food?

After 43 years I was finally forced to start cooking myself because poster above you is absolutely correct. It's full of additives and is making me reflux 24/7.

I don't care about fashion, but my "hiso" Thai-Canadian ex used to buy her clothes all imported from China from so-called upscale street markets. Some of those outfits are cute and fit the Thai figure very well, but I highly doubt it's being copied b French and Italian designers. Most of that stuff is from alibaba

Ouch

[Kabula]

Nice to hear positive content.

However, after two marriages and living on planet earth for 69 years, I learned that women can leave the nest as quick as they entered. Personally, I NO LONGER TRUST ANY OF THEM! And, I don't miss their families,their children and the money pit and excuses. FREEDOM.... variety is the spice of life.

There's plenty of great food and stylish women in Bangkok.

Maybe not in the part of town you stay in, though.

Wherever sex tourists stay, I guess.

[theguyfromanotherforum]

Must be all the "hip" places along certain BTS lines where some women wash their feet and dress up for the occasion.

For 95% of the people it's still sandals and a cheap dress from a local market.

I'm guessing divine intervention as opposed to what his life was or might or could have turned out like....

He feels blessed by his life.....

So do I.....

Amen to that....blessed for sure...if I had planned my own future I would have sold myself short. Instead. I have "gone with the flow"...I use that phrase for non-believers, what I actually mean is my HP.

[ChrisKC]

may i enquire blessed by whom ??

They have been blessed by and with each other! How else do successful relationships happen?

So you are trying to tell me the first time you come to thailand you was not a sex tourists come on tell the truth I would say 99% of man come as a sex tourists or to meet a thai lady on a web sit for sex .

[theguyfromanotherforum]

I like to sit during sex too

Many bad things happen to western men in western countries.

Plenty of whiners back home that will blame everyone and everything else for problems they caused themselves. Just expect handouts from their governments, blame said government again for problems they themselves really caused.

Call the ex a bitch even though she's still looking after the kids, struggling to make ends meet, he's trying to dodge child support whilst paying way too much rent to live by himself because no one else can stand living with him, even other family members.

PLENTY of guys like that back home

When you want a favor they are no where to be seen, or its always some BS excuse, but when they want a favor, they just expect it or throw a little tantrum and get verbally abusive if you dont.... then all sit around scratching their heads as to why no one wants anything to do with them.

PLENTY of guys like that back home.

But no, I didn't come to Thailand as a sex tourist the first time I visited. I came on a holiday with my girlfriend.

[4evermaat]

There was a thread on TV about 2 years ago that was full of mostly positive experiences with thai-foreigner marriages or arrangements. I remember it because some posters who rarely post came out to make their report. It was very constructive....maybe someone here can help me find it and link to it.

Someone said

Lies

Damn lies

And statistics

Where the hell do you get 5 % from...?

A straw poll of my immediate crowd reveals 100% happy with their wifes/partners .... Just not 100% happy with Thailand ... (Admittedly a small sample size of about 30 guys)

But then ...they wouldn't even consider returning " back home ".

It's not that being here in Thailand is so great ... it isn't .... But it's a shed load better than where I was .... NZ...!

But my Thai wife of 7 years .... Fantastic ... Never had a bad day yet ... Some moments... But they pass quickly ... She doesn't sulk... I've never had a moment of regret ...

It started about man being happy in thailand and thai partner and it has got to this we are not talking about tourists we are talking about men happy with their thai partner.
