Rich parents or rich husband/boyfriends?

[flex123]

My girlfriend (28), who I met in Bangkok, enjoys a pretty luxurious lifestyle. ~25k baht two bedroom condo on Sukhumvit. Newest iPhone every year, closet full of expensive clothes, a gallon of various perfumes, LV, Prada, Macbook, etc. etc. She's been all over Europe and Asia, including a year of studying abroad. Took me almost two months to get her to let me pay for anything when we go out to eat, taxis, groceries, etc.

No job (ever). She says that she gets a monthly allowance from her parents - something like 80k a month. Claims Dad is involved in the military (but he's not powerful, she insists), Mom has a small food business.

Is it possible that the money is really coming from them? I was thinking it must be coming from some poor SOB abroad, but I've lived with her for the past two months and not once has she slipped away to answer the phone, hidden her chats from me (I use her phone freely), or really done anything suspicious. She even posts pictures of us to social media, so definitely not trying to hide anything.

Yet, it seems like an awful lot of money sent from a military job plus what I believe is basically a food stand. She spends/has spent way more than a retired bargirl could/would put into savings (although she does have a tramp stamp, shags like a pornstar, and swears like a sailor). On top of all this, I'm only 23, and broke. She's well aware of that situation. Can someone help me figure out whats going on here?

I would encourage you to try harder at school and focus more on your homework.

Good luck.

Time for popcorn & entertainment....

[pigeonjake]

now this could get good,

you joined thai visa today just so you could tell us all this,,,pmsl

lucky boy

[colinneil]

OP your problem is easily fixed.

Go to see a doctor and he will prescribe you some medication.

Just remember to take it regularly, your problem will soon disappear.

[SoiBiker]

Of course it's possible that the money is coming from her family. Not all Thai people are poor.

[MissAndry]

Enjoy it while you can ...... but don't carry any packages through customs for her.

[Rayk]

Yawn

"Can someone help me figure out whats going on here?"

You have blue skin,are covered in warts and live under a bridge somewhere in Northern Scandinavia?

[starky]

So dad could be a corrupt military man with a motza yet makes his wife work at a food stall while unloading all his spare dosh on his daughter who doesn't work and could maybe be hiso except for the tramp stamps and swearing like a sailor.

Troll, troll, troll your boat gently down the stream. Merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.

Actually not trolling at all. My main question is based on whether its possible for someone in the Thai military to make 180k+ a month (and if it is, should I be afraid of someone who is pulling in that much?).

I don't expect anyone to believe my story buts its true. Being in your twenties, white, in shape, with decent looks and a well put together profile got me about 20+ new messages a day (more if I was online for long periods of time) on TF. From there I just replied to women that seemed to have similar interests as me, were attractive, spoke decent English (over chat), and tried to get them to meet up with me. She was one of the few that agreed to meet one-on-one. I didn't take part in the nightlife scene, but it's pretty obvious which girls online are bargirls or gold-diggers ("Looking for a good man to take care of me...."I'm not bargirl. I'm good girl. Want nice man not bad man"...desired age limit set to "Any" or upper limit of 45+ when they are only in their 20s).

The financial aspect is nice but I still have to deal with truly psychotic levels of jealousy, blatant and unapologetic materialism, and the equivalent emotional stability and neediness of a 16 year old girl. I don't think an older, more experienced man could tolerate it for more than a few weeks, even taking the sex and financial situation into account.

[Traxster]

Now listen Mate....your girlfriend sounds a bit 'sus' to me

so I would advise you to give her the 'flick', send her packing and don't see her anymore.

Tell her 'it's over,it's kaput,finito,arriverdoochi baby....

Oh and btw...would you like to send me her contact details and I'll make sure she never bothers you again >

Ok then. Yes and definitely yes. Waffle, waffle yes im sure your a great catch, well done handsome man. Final paragraph welcome to Thailand ( majority of girls here though not all as I am sure many will be in a hurry to tell you)

Not unusual in BKK. I know teen girls sitting in 120k condos or moving around between the 5 or so houses in the city owned by their parents.

Furthermore, most of them have spent several 100k on their faces/bodies before they even reach 20 (try asking them to show you childhood pictures).

It's just the default lifestyle for hi-so sino-thai girls growing up, you look the best your money (i.e. daddy's) can buy and show your bling-bling.

The Playtex Bra syndrome.

No visible means of support.

[brewsterbudgen]

Nothing unusual. There are plenty of rich Thais.

The marriage dowry will be astronomical.... how close to the edge of the waterfall are you prepared go before you jump boat?

Maybe it's a honey trap.... set up for a big dowry......

Just sit back, relax and enjoy what you have while it lasts. Her story may change at some point but who cares, you can deal with it then. Her story is important to her so just let her live it and don’t question her integrity. Don’t believe it 100% either but don’t make a big deal out of it.

You won’t be new, young and attractive forever so just sit back and enjoy the ride. No need to try and figure out what is going on. I was once 23 and living in Bangkok so I have some experience but that was a very long time ago.

2 star ** General THB 80,000 monthly salary.

Work it out......................

[GOLDBUGGY]

Well if you stay with her, there will come a time when she will want you to visit her parents. That should give you some idea how they actually live and if they can afford to give her 80,000 Baht a month. But not many parents I know, rich or poor, what their daughters sitting around and doing nothing, so it does sound fishy.

A Rich Boyfriend? Perhaps! She seems well traveled and if her parents couldn't afford to send her places someone else did. But if she has a boyfriend she would try to hide that, which she appears not to be doing. So a present boyfriend seems unlikely.

But at age 28 she could also have been married to someone who was well to do, and perhaps now is divorced. I met a Thai Woman in her early 30's who was on her third marriage. She to is well traveled in Europe and lives in the USA. She owns 5 houses and rents them out and last I heard she has gotten her new husband (of 6 months) to build a 10 Million Baht place for them in Thailand, on her fathers land, even though they still live in the states. Go Figure?

If she was my girlfriend I would just enjoy the moment and let her pay. Sooner or later the truth will come out as Thai Women can't keep a lie for very long. It could all be legit but I doubt it like you do.

[villagefarang]

High ranking military officers often come from families with money. Their salary is often insignificant in comparison to the status and prestige of their position. That may be hard for a wage laborer to understand but it is not uncommon in Thailand. People often have multiple sources of money.

[smotherb]

I don't understand your cynicism; isn't it obvious, he is a hansum young farang and well-off Thai girls are willing to do anything to get his precious bodily fluids--I guess it never happened to most of you, eh?

So dad could be a corrupt military man with a motza yet makes his wife work at a food stall while unloading all his spare dosh on his daughter who doesn't work and could maybe be hiso except for the tramp stamps and swearing like a sailor.

Let's see!

Being an older man and having nightly sex with a beautiful 20 something year old Thai Woman who is willing to pay all the bills and put me up for free in her luxury condo?

Sorry Mate! You don't know or understand older men either.

[Muzarella]

80K a month? = less than $3,000 ?.....That is a little change for many Thai families and many foreigners, in and out the country.

Tell her to ask her sponsors to give her a rise, now...... that she got a dependent.

Husband or boyfriend? Doesn't matter, unless it makes you feel better that she does..

Might have wealthy parents...

Her dad is involved or is in the military? Doesn't matter, unless you want to hear, he is a corrupt government employee..

Anyway.. I read the rich girl pays go everything story before.

Almost sounds like the same woman and story..
