    Pre-Marital Sex. - Part I.

    By Anonymous, Created on: 18/06/2003, Last updated on: 26/04/2007

    » Hello Mr. Rooster ; I moved this discussion to this more appropriate thread. Mr. Rooster wrote : "People are like animals, and their sexual drives will involve some types of pre-marital sex. So prostitution will be there to provide needed service. " The sexual urge is indeed extraordinarily powerful,...

    • Anonymous commented : and has been doing for a very long time. "Or students' sex: ``Look at the history, at what age did a Thai girl want to have a husband in the past? When she had her first period! The system of modern education teaches that virginity should be protected until university graduation, and if a woman chooses to lose it before we panic because we think it's such a big problem." - Outspoken writer Lakhana Punvichai in Bangkok Post Real Time, March 28, 2003. "She says men fear her. She says they try to stay away from her free-spoken radius of tough thoughts and liberal lucidity. Now we hear her think, we watch her unravel, and ah, we say those men don't know what they are missing." Sadly, Ms. Lakhana attempts to legitimize casual student sex by comparing student sex to marrying your soul mate and life's partner when you are young. They are not the same at all. For my feelings on this teaching, see my 'Background Info' post. Yes, I am afraid of her, and yes, I do know what I am missing. Cheers!!!

    • Anonymous commented : -year-old wife in the world's longest-lasting marriage has died. Liu Yang-wan from Taiwan was married in 1917 to Liu Yung-yang, who is now 104. Their daughter-in-law said Mrs. Liu died peacefully from natural causes. Their 86 year marriage was the longest registered in the Guiness Book of World Records, beating former American record holders by three years. According to ancient tradition, Liu Yang-wan was sent to live with her future husband's family at the age of 5, to take care of him and do household chores, relatives said. - Reuters." After the "new thinkers" get over their horror, let's take a closer look at this. Apparently, the boy was 6 and the girl was 5 when they were brought together by the familes. As a result of this arrangement, the fabric of the childrens's lives becomes so inter-twined that the very thought of separation becomes UNTHINKABLE. This is a true soul mate. This is so important that I want to say it again : if you can successfully inter-twine the children's lives, the thought of separation becomes UNTHINKABLE. This is what you need to strive for if you want a low divorce rate. Contrast this to our current "wisdom", which strives for independance, self sufficiency, strength, women's rights, men's right's, children's right's, and the whole "dating game", which takes our children's precious hearts and rips them to shreds. The new thinking cannot solve any of today's problems. Rather, it is the cause of today's problems. Who do you think will have a lower divorce rate, the "ancient tradition" mentioned above, or our "new thinking" tradition? I believe things could improve substantially if we try to fuse some of the elements of "ancient tradition" with the rigors and "artificial environments" of modern life. This is entirely possible, but so far our sociologists and cultural leaders (both in the West and in Thailand) have failed to even identify the root cause of the problems. This is why everyone is spinning out of control, and this is why I know that things will continue to get worse, MUCH, MUCH worse before they get better. Cheers!!

    Learning about Thai ladies in marriage and culture

    By Anonymous, Created on: 23/08/2003, Last updated on: 21/10/2007

    » I would like to learn about the Thai lady in marriage and the Thai culture. The reason for this, is that after literally travelling the world for many years, during work commitments, and meeting along the way many ladies for serious relationships. I met along the way a lady from Thailand. We met many...

    • Anonymous commented : be the head of your family as long as you are living in your own house. I still call and respect my brother and sister-in-laws who are a few years younger than me as elder to show my respect to them. Although age does matter in term of social hierarchy, but it is depending on the situation. If you are trying to hold your head higher than anyone elses, you will not have a lot of respect. Every times, I am visiting my uncle village; the kamnan (village chief) always come over to visit me since I always bring gift for the village school. The kamnan is usually the elder in the village with better economic status than other village members. He always greet me first to show sign of respect. At the same time, I would try to greet him and low myself a little to show him respect. I would invite his family to have super with us since they are plenty of foods and drinks. Your problem would be the language barrier, but you should learn how to greet people the Thai way and learning few words like thank you and hello in Thais. Anyway, acting like youngster does make you feel younger, especially with your wife. You will eventually gaining more respect from other old and young people, which will depending on how you conducting yourself. You also need to call her mom and dad like they are your mom and dad in Thai since they would be like your parents. I would recommend that you learn Thai from Bangkok Post website or get a Rosetta Stone Thai language program for your computer.

    • Anonymous commented : object to 'Dowerey' system as long as it's within reason. It's true that money is important to provide security and sustain our livelyhood, but money should not be gained by a marriage of convenience. Financial rewards should come from one own achievement and I believe the probable way to acquire that is through higher education and personal perseverence.

    British Embassy in Bangkok

    By Anonymous, Created on: 05/10/2004, Last updated on: 25/02/2011

    » In March, my Thai partner wanted to visit me in London. Before granting a visa, the Embassy wanted a mountain of paperwork including proof of my income, whether or not I woned my own home and a whole lot of other things. At this stage, I have to say that we have many controversial issues in the UK...

    • Anonymous commented : very hot and queues there are long and that the Spanish Embassy requires notarised documents from a host which cost me 200 euros. The British Embassy came out absolute tops in terms of efficiency and courtesy for my money. I also have nothing but praise for the consular section. If you look at British Embassy web site you will see that they are looking for a company to outsource some of the visa work to. I hope they can maintain the same standards.

    • Anonymous commented : ll in one go? i thought.Three long months later we're at the embassy with all the documents,nerves shredded because of all the stories we've heard.........and i can say there all true.my wife was interviewed by a very ignorant and abusive english woman,who after initially looking my wife up and down like a piece of dirt refused to look at her again while conducting the interview.didnt look at any of the photos or docs we provided......well only flicked thruogh the photos.....too quikley to see what any of them were,and mixed up all the carefully prepared origional paperwork with the copies before stuffing them back in the envelope we sent them in.long story short......my wife was refused her visa on the grounds we hadnt kept text messages etc from 2003! we had two letters my wife had sent me in 2003 the dates on the stamps proved this,but the eco refused to look at them and said that wasnt enough.who keeps phone bills for two years????the reason we couldnt provide more phone bills etc as proof is because weve been living together!!!!!!!!!!! the eco said she didnt believe my wife and me had met in 2003,but had just met this tear and werent going to live together as man and wife in the uk....CRAP!!!!!!! i understand about all the non genuine applications there are......the amount of 60 year old men waiting outside for their 20 year old girlfriends proves that;One man i spoke to from england was nearing retirement age and had only ever seen his 25 year old girlfriend three times before. They were using an agency for their application....and were no doubt accepted,whereas our (in my eyes) more genuine application was flatly refused.we are now considering using an agancy too "i garantee she goes 100 %!! i garantee she goes 100%!!" as the lady at the agancy said.What do you have to do????????????????

The only place I've been outside BKK is Phuket and that was only for a week. As you can see, I don't really know a lot of many things which is really sad.

    enry into the u.k. for thai girlfriends/partners

    By Anonymous, Created on: 02/01/2005, Last updated on: 07/06/2006

    » I started out trying to help my Thai employee (with a British passport) to bring her twenty two year old daughter to the U.K. for a family visit. Thought it would be a breeze.

    • Anonymous commented : aedo. Also, be prepared for a long, long wait. So far, we have been waiting for two years and still we have no date for our appeal hearing! The onus is upon you to prove otherwise to what the entry clearance officer wants to believe. SAVE EVERY SHRED OF EVIDENCE YOU CAN ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP. Phone bills, e-mails, letters AND the envelopes they came in. photos, scraps of paper - EVERYTHING. It all adds to your chances. I have it on good authority, from my MP, that this is possibly the worst time you could pick to apply to bring in a non EU person. Politically, the subject is very sensitive and that's not to mention the terrorism threats (real or perceived). You may also want to consider the way of the Chinese. They mamange to come in by firstly going to study/live in an EU country that is not as strict as the U.K. Belgium or Ireland for example. Once in these countries they apply for the right to remain and then make the easy EU hop into the U.K. More advice - if you can find a way around the legal route then take it. The British Embassy in Bangkok is still rife with corruption and bribery. It really doesn't pay to be legal these days! I wish I'd known this before I started to do things the 'proper' way! Good Luck.

    • Anonymous commented : d her to come to the UK for a longer period. I looked into student visas, visitor visas, engagement and marriage visas with the visitor being the easiest and quickest. I sent her the forms along with my payslips, phone bills and a signed letter. She went to Bangkok, told them what colour my boxers are and got her visa. Booked a flight and we spent a great six months together. So somewhere in the supposedly corrupt embassy in Bangkok there are some honest officials who can spot a sweet young girl who just wants to visit her boyfriend. And as quick I am to vent my angers at British immigration laws being surrounded by so many immigrants, I’m sure these people aren’t deliberately causing grief or just trying to fill their own back pockets. Through my girlfriend I’ve now met a large number of Thai people in London. Some who should be here and some who shouldn’t. Unfortunately the British embassy is run by people who naturally make mistakes and my utmost sympathies it they rejected your girlfriend or wife at the expense of admitting somebody they should have sent back to Patpong. Now I just hope she’ll be able to come back in the same manner, as can we really justify needing another six months in the UK to meet my family and visit Buckingham Palace?
