Its better to stay single imho. Given that, it drives me nuts when all that bullshit about getting married rears its ugly head. Especially, with this pressure from many women in Thailand. considering you only just met a short time then all that crap pops up, them wanting to bleed you dry and get you up the alter.

I change them like my cars, looking at the new models every year or so lol

Not to mention that while your wife can most likely become a permanent resident or citizen in your country, allowing her to work, own property, go to school, etc., you will never be allowed to work or own property here in Thailand no matter how long you are married.

600eur. Somewhere lowkey/local. Studio 35m2. At beach. Clean. Safe.

700eur. 90m2. 15minutes by car from beach. In major city city.

400eur. In the sticks ? at beach. 

Buy and own: between 69.000 and 150.000. Decent place.

The real answer depends on where it is, location, location, location.

and then on how long a term you rent for.

One month in the high season (now) can be silly money but long term rent for a three bed apartment in the city, 15 mins from the beach, walking.

€250 up.

BTW I've rented a condo right on the beach before.

During the winter when it feels cold like 10C or so, and with high winds, it's almost  impossible to walk upright on the sea front and when anyone opens the building door, the building is pressurised and drafts howl past your front door and it's not easy to keep warm.....

Living in the city affords a sort of protection against this and there are more bars and shops available all year round.....

Horses for Courses?

Edit

Like Thailand, foreigners don't necessarily get as good a deal as a local.....

There are a lot of very lovely girls here in Spain.

My Thai wife always wonders why I did not meet an settle with a Spanish lady.

I had worked in the Far Easy in the late 60's and always had a fascination with it and their culture.

However, we spend several months every year in Thailand so that my wife can stay in touch with her roots and family.

 

I think that Harold hit the nail on the head.

I prefer Spain to Thailand.

 

so are you in spain then

I cannot believe we got to page 7 and no mention of Ting Tong and Mr Dudree (Dudley) of British TV humour.

 

That is sooo me, except I don't come from the Midlands 

 

Now Page 8

You are right and wrong. Because of my work, my wife and I have lived in various countries, where we were both strangers. My wife always makes it work, food, language etc she rolls with the place. However she is totally stoked with Thailand and that will always be her go back to place. Does she love Thailand? 100 % and she does have the worldly knowledge to make her choice, absolutely. As it turns out I also love the place, though I can think of plenty of places I love the same

You sound very much like an Oz couple me and my Mrs know, worked/lived all over the planet but love Thailand with a passion, D & G and their camper van

You seem to assume quite a lot, and you would be an expert on Falang/Thai relationships?

Qualifications?

What are the ladies like in Spain?

Wasn't Ting Tong a dating agency bride?

It didn't have very good writers and got "pulled off" pretty quickly.

Why is it that when someone actually talks about the reality of LOS, they are bashed? Or was it unsettling a low poster could string a good sentence together?

A couple of decades late, but at least they tried.

Upset them it may, but it would be true from my observations over the years.   Not all lovers of Asian women are at the lower end of the socio/economic/intellectual scale, but a large proportion of them are.

 

But, of course, it's a two way street.

I know some who have'

Get will made as soon as possible with wife getting most, granted power of attorney, bank details and access to any accounts, how to get any superannuation and finally how to make husband mental incompetent to access everything. That would be a comprehensive course. 

 

Wouldn't worry about the sinsot as that would be ,"you know my family want this but I say no because this is love". At the beginning its the deal maker.

 

Always soft sell.

The only pra-ra you can get overseas as far as I know is the cooked version. Ask anyone from Issan if this is as good as or better than the raw, uncooked, festering stinking muck. I think you all know the answer.

I was told by one lady, I want to live in Australia so much....until I told her the taxes and living costs involved. While they may have a better lifestyle than up in Issan, it's not all beer and skittles living in the West. Many young Australians simply cannot afford to buy a house now as the mortgage payments are outrageous in many areas.

Not only a dating agency bride but a ladyboy who'd previously made a few risqué movies. The characters were extremely popular, and entirely typical of the type of humour in the Little Britain tv series. Hilarious, though definitely very far from politically correct. 

 

As an aside, I found it amusing that her last name Macadangdang is actually Filipino...

Then again, most Thais who marry foreigners are (only) lower or middle class, too. Their income certainly depends on their profession (and, in some cases, how many sponsors they have).

Or maybe with their sponsors they are actually higher class than their current falang?
