P.S.: meemianoy, if you don't know the work «weung» (my husband always calls me that, it's Isaan slang), ask your wife to explain it to you, for sure she's gonna laugh that a farang lady is being called a weung...!)

Glad your thai isn't good enough to write my name in thai, or are you talking to someone else?

I just read your story in the ladies forum 2 days ago and it was nice. Best wishes!

Is Khon Kaen Isaan, or North?

Khon Kaen is Isaan. As part of the Country it is a North Eastern Province, cheers.

My gf is from China and I love their work ethic.

She works all day and doesn't complain.

A 12 hour day for her is normal.

She is also extremely generous to others and a loving partner although she always says i am lazy.

Wife hails from Ayuthaya. Poll should have had a Central Thailand option as it covers far more than Bangkok.

Often when I speak with Thais and the subject of the wife comes up they immediately assume she is from Isaan. I suspect that the actual stats for farang-thai marriages would be far higher than the current 34%.

No mention of chinese-thai ?

Is she Chinese or Thai? Can't be born in 2 places. If she's from China vote "from any other country". If she's born in Thailand then vote according to the area she's from.

Remember that the people of Chinese descent generally dislike being called Thai... The Chinese are distinct from the Thais anyways even when they are born in the same country. The Chinese shop and the Thais work in the shops.

Harsh but generally true.

Now then,,,,my day is 12 hours

I am also generous

I also think that you are lazy for thinking that 12 hours is a long time.

You must be from Europe?

My wife's family are very adamant about that, and if you say they're Chinese, you'll be corrected as "we are Thai!".

My Wife hails from Surat Thani.

We got married there...great place, lovely family...but too darn hot for me or we would be living there.

Good to take a trek down there a couple of weeks a year though
