English is not my native tongue but I think that's how he described his wardrobe earlier today (maybe just shorts without "pairs") when I asked if he's packed his tuxedo.

jossthaifarang Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I would look out for anything that's looking a little worse for ware around the place, roll up the sleeves and fix it up. You'll be in the good books after that for sure. I would also make sure I live very far away, and maybe only a yearly visit after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loong Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Book into an hotel in a nearby town. Invite the parents to a Korean BBQ (Moo Gataa), the GF will know of one. See how many show up despite only inviting 2 people and whether or not you get a bill for the pick-up that brings them. This will give an idea of how many freeloaders expect to be supported.

Peterw42 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The biggest shock will come when OPs freind realises that the parents are the "same age" as him. You can discuss recent world events like 911 terrorist attacks, OPs friend and the parents were probably in there 20s when that happend, a little uncomfortable when you realise the GF was 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture this, you have just met the GFs father, the girls have gone off to buy groceries, its 427 degrees with one tiny fan, your sitting on the floor drinking some rice whisky fire water, a plate of offal tidbits. You cant speak a word of Thai, dad cant speak English, google translate isn't working as there is no internet. Its getting more and more uncomfortable by the minute. GFs dad switches on the black and white telly and there is a football game on, it your Savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) It's utter purgatory and although I have put up with Issan village stays for over 10 years and 8 trips I now refuse to go. It's BORING as usually no TV you can watch and no internet, nobody speaks English, and eat the food at your own risk. Never ever give money or expensive gifts as you will be starting off on the wrong foot, food and drink only. Don't eat mr gop !

rct99q Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It is a good idea for him to meet the parents. Have a good look around at the place. What it has, what it doesn't etc. Because the fact of the matter is that in under 5 years this is where his child will be living out the rest of their life. It will be of some comfort to know the place is reasonably OK. Issue arises if he sees it is a shit hole then knowing his child will be in for a lifetime of poverty. At this point pray to whomever you follow the kid is a boy. If it is female and a half breed and resembles him in anyway (skin tone etc) she will live a pretty miserable existence. In fact if he is still around in 20 years he could possibly run into her in Pattaya. Heres hoping they are indeed nice people and perhaps when the child becomes an adult they may seek you out. But be prepared to answer those questions... Why did you leave me there? And so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
