July 26, 20178 yr I think there is a simple reason why our Thai wives mistrust what we tell them about inheritance, wills, etc. In our countries there are rules concerning inheritance, and they are applied. No bank or will executor would dare to go against the law. In Thailand there are no rules, basically a man is completely free to do as he pleases and leave his possessions to whoever he wants. And banks..... Try to explain to your wife that when you die, she will have legal rights.....? Impossible!

July 27, 20178 yr Why you people still put up with this kind of attitude I'll never understand..... Aren't you supposed to be educated folks from "the west"? Why put up with all this stupidity?

Why put up with all this stupidity? When I was young I never put up with this or other stupidity. I never argued with GF's, bosses or other fools. I just walked out on them. I am 66 now. Where can I walk to now? Choices fade as one gets older.

I do not want to live in a city, the fruit / flower garden where I live now suits me perfectly. That means no contact with other farangs, no "rental women", no restaurants, no social life - and that is fine for me. I prefer the sounds of nature, the mountain view, the fresh fruit & vegetables. My last choice... But for that I need a wife... so I put up with her hysterical fits (in between tantrums she is an intelligent woman, sexy and very good looking at 62). But the arrival of her lazy 26 yo son who lost his job in BKK may just push me over the edge.

You know your real position now. Take care.

I'm sort of in a similar situation. Live outside BKK, not far, but no bars around. Have restaurants and karaoke. Any farang places? Don't know. I have a live in maid/house keeper. Great lady in her late 50s. We don't have any sex and we don't sleep together, but are good friends. Helps me with whatever I need help with. Besides doing laundry, food and keeping house tidy. Comfortable arrangement.

July 28, 20178 yr Author My first ever post and nearly 200 comments.... its nice that about 10 % of them are answering my question. Thanks. I got back to Thailand yesterday, and discussed everything with my wife, its a lot easier than when we talked about it on Messenger. it turns out that the Aunt is getting married (ceremony not amphur) and then going to Denmark later in the year to "officially" marry. the confusion was that the Aunt didnt realise that because my wife and i were married in an Amphur we are legally married already. I explaine this to my wife, and now she understands, and believes me :)

August 1, 20178 yr whats with all this marriage stuff were non of you breast feed as babies ? i just dont get this compulsory desire to marry anyone. learn to take care of yourselves its a lot less stressful in the long run.

The post is more about why my wife believes people who tell her shit, even though i tell her differently... You need to make a will in Thailand then. Take her to the lawyer's office when you sign it, so they can answer any questions she has. Easy.

Solved for a while by moving, but unfortunately the ratbaggiest nephew also moved close enough to turn up whenever he wanted and she would not say no to family ( a mere farang would never come before family ). That one got solved by divorce, but not a good solution.

Thank you, thaibeachlovers, I have no intention of getting divorced, our relationship is very good most of the time. I dont have much in Thailand, but will write a will here, just to cover money in bank ect

I would happily have left her everything, but it was only good till it wasn't. I wuz lucky and she went for the quicky divorce.
