    Dealing With A Covid-19 Side Effect

    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/01/2021

    » One side effect of the Covid-19 pandemic that you may have overlooked (besides amassing a vast collection of hand sanitisers and exposing govt inefficiency -- kapow!) is more waste, especially plastic. Inevitably, it is exacerbated by our appetite for food delivery while we're WFH during this quasi-lockdown. The first wave saw an increase of plastic waste by 60% in Bangkok due to the higher demand for food delivery as estimated by Thailand Environment Institute in May last year. Thailand Research Development Insitute also claimed that one such order can contain up to seven pieces of plastic waste (so opt-out of utensils when you order please).

    By Anonymous, Created on: 12/01/2006, Last updated on: 08/05/2006

    » Hi All I have been dating my Thai girlfriend for some time now and i return to thailand in feb 06, I have asked her to return to england with me and spend some time to see how see likes it. I would like to get engaged with her and then once she has spent some time with me in uk, i will ask her...

    • Anonymous commented : an and he paid 500,000bht and gold to parents as the 'Dowry' (Sin sod or Khan Maak). I said ok can she come to Australia 1st to meet my family and see my country to determine if she wants to live thier and if she likes it so we can plan our future together in a mature and logical way with out pressure and time frames. They said 'NO' marry 1st, and then said have a quik wedding and you can take her. I felt like I was being sold a human being and backed off and told her in front of her parents and one Thai-indian friend I asked to acompany me to this lunch meeting - that I DONT BUY PEOPLE, its Illegal in my country and immoral & degrading according to the way I was raised. We have had many problems since that meeting with her parents. Since that time this young gal has tried to commit suicide, run away from her famliy and myself, she cutt off all communications with me and told me not to marry her as her family are what we had talked about regaing many Thai's and started to treat her as a ATM due to the fact that she had a farang boyfriend, she cheated on me with a other man. I felt It would be best if I hired an interpreting service here in Australia and talk direct to her mum via a Thai interpreter provided by my Govt. services, after that 1 and half hour chat with her mum on the phone that costed over $200AUD I caught a plane to Bkk 3 weeks ago and found her, we spent Sokran festival together on 2 of the Islands after having dinner with her parents and brother and they gave permission...lol...Her step dad said he respects me for bringing her back home after she had left to go live with that Sugar daddy Cult...and that I am a good man he felt... We went away together and spoke in detail about all the events that took place over the past 8 months. I am now back in Australia, and I am a little confussed but feel like I know whats going on. Can anyone tell me what they think of the above even though its in brief and I have cut a long story very short.... I would also like to know if anyone can tell me how much a 'Dowry' is normaly paid to the family? (Amount & Gold) Do legal agreements legaly cover my assets in Thailand? She has said she will sign any legal document from my legal advisers regarding the protection of my assets in Australia... Does a legal registered marriage in Thailand protect the Farang? Or does it differ from a Thai to Thai marriage? She has stated she loves me, and will be loyal as its the Thai culture way and she has been a good person to me over all, so I am split 50/50. No she is Not a Glamour, and not the type of girlfriend I have even dated in my life in any country, she is average looking, tiny/thin and short. But I must say I was and am attracted to her thinking pattern and level of intellect and do see potential as a real life friend/partner or what ever you wish to call it when 2 people have a meeting of the minds 'Soul-Mate? Thanks in advance... Thong Lo (my Thai nick name) lol
