    • Anonymous commented : internet and letters grew to phone calls, up to when I went to thailand for a week and a half and had a Buddist traditional engagement ceremony and white string ceremony. I had to pay a dowery of 10000 baht and buy grandmother a gold necklace and rings for my fiancee and I. I had the time of my life. I met her family, only problem I realy had was the small language gap. She speaks ok english, but its a lot better then my Thai. We are working towards getting her a Fiancee visa. And so far we have no problems. I send her 50 dollars a month but am thinking about increasing that to about 150 because I consider her my wife and wish to take care of her. She never ever asked me for a dime. Even when i was over there I had to beg her to let me buy her anything, she thought I SPENT way to much. I am a very happy man, and I would recommend that if you want a good wife...dont go to bars or you will get a bar fly. I got lucky that my best friend and his wife, set me up with a family member. Please email me if there are any questions, I would love to chat . charwiz

    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 : d 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????????????????

    • Anonymous commented : nd that Tony Blair was due to phone Mrs. Bigley but I do not know whether he has done so yet. As far as Mrs Bigley's social security entitlements are concerned, the entire British benefits system is set up to ensure that those who are entitled to claim are dissuaded from doing so. I suspect that Mrs Bigley probably did not think she was going to lose her husband so soon and did not give this issue much thought. She will be confronted by a mountain of deliberately confusing paperwork to complete and the relevant officials will require documentary proof of everything. In between contracts, I used to claim Job Seekers allowance even though I knew I wasn't entitled to receive payment due to my level of savings. I claimed so that I would continue to receive my National Insurance stamp so that I would not lose my pension entitlement. I was eventually dissuaded from claiming by the 50 odd page application form and the insistence of the officials that they had the right to probe my affairs in minute detail. It is a very Orwellian system which, sadly, will not take any account of Mrs Bigleys status or her grief. Are you surprised that people are leaving the UK in droves?

    stereotype towards interracial marriage in Thailand

    By Anonymous, Created on: 26/11/2004, Last updated on: 01/01/2008

    » I am a Thai man born and grew up in Bangkok educated overseas totally disagree with the stereotype. On the contrary, I have always admired and respected those indigenous Thais women whose dark brown - tan skin blessed by the nature from their hard works shouldering gracefully to their parents’...

    • Anonymous commented : HING now is that she calls my phone and hangs up on me. I've had my cell phone off this whole week of Christmas because of the stupid calls I'm now getting from Thailand. I believe she realizes that she made a big, big mistake based solely on the color of my skin. I'm pretty sure that similar situations are happening all the time with various Thai women. I feel quite sorry for Thais in general. As for me, I adore Thai culture but I'm quite suspious of Thai women after my heart-breaking.

    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. Mother rents a single room so I offered my family home for daughter to stay in during visit. I've heard stories about the...

    • Anonymous commented : 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?

    • Anonymous commented : I hope you have read my tale of woe on this matter? Firstly, be prepared for the worst. The u.k. embassy will naturally assume that your wife is a prostitute and that you are some kind of paedo. 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.

    thai divorce and property law

    By Anonymous, Created on: 21/02/2005, Last updated on: 16/01/2006

    » I'm a U.S. citizen and married to a thai guy in U.S., he has nothing in U.S. but business ownership, land and bank accounts in thailand. our baby is going to be U.S. citizen, i want to know, is it true by law that he told me that i cannot co-own any business, land or bank account of his? what can...

    • Anonymous commented : him when he would tell her by phone and by email NO NO NO to outspending the $250 each month. She never sent any sad ,separated sweetheart kinds of emails, once he forced her to stay within budget (she receives 8000 bahts a month from her sister for caring for the sister's 8 year old spoiled son---even bathing him, dressing him, powdering his bottom, and catering to his every whim) In the spring, she only wrote about her husband's being "selfish---all my Thai friends agree---you're selfish---just like Thai men are." (???) "Why did you sign marriage registration if you weren't going to support me?!! Why you lie? How can I trust you?" She also got him to provide for English lessons, and claimed to be the best student in her class, but then dropped the classes this spring, around the time he started "starving" her. This girl has a car, lives in a new high standard house which the three sisters just bought for their parents---to get them out of police housing. They also have a country house, with rice, pond, etc. The father isn't retired, still working but spends most of his time with his girlfriend and refuses to pay mortgage for the house, so daughters are each to pay a third...so new bride keeps asking my son to send money for mortgage ASAP.... 1) Could they annul and then apply for a K-1 visa with any chance of success? 2) In an uncontested divorce, in a marriage of 8 months, in which the couple has never lived together since registration, could the "husband" sign papers in US and get a proxy to present them at the amphur? 3) If they married in Bangkok, shouldn't they divorce there instead of in Khon Kaen which she insists? 4) Although non-contested, can the Amphur then assess a lot of trumped up fines on my son, and refuse to let him leave the country until they were paid? (She might have run up credit card debts or whatever in the nine months since he's seen her...) 5) Could he divorce her from the US, according to Thai laws, and send the papers over? We believe that last spring, she might have reunited with an old Thai boyfriend; or that her sister is lining up one of her husband's older friends to marry her next...they seem awfully anxious to end it....but my son says he would be a sitting duck for the cops or old boyfriends or whomever---leaving her with all his worldly assets, or at least half...(Somehow his bank knew of his recent foreign marriage, although he has never informed them? Weird...she has US in-laws with former CIA connections...it feels claustrophia and maybe we're paranoid...but reading the UN Report about Human Rights Violations during the Crackdown...and the disappearance of farangs, and the recognition that the police system is questionable and prisons unassailable...going back isn't an option, but the need to end this travesty is weighing on all of us...as we vasilate like the ones who write to Stickman...She's innocent/she's not; she's cohersed/she instigating; she's Cinderella/she's Cruella de Ville; she has a Thai boyfriend/she doesn't/she is lining up a richer farang/she's heartbroken; he could go safely and quickly for a co-signing/he will get hit with lawsuits and not be able to leave the country; he would be safe in Bangkok/he would be set upon by a gang paid to avenge Thai girl's loss of face---farang thinks $250 enough for ME while he saves for wedding!!! Then one day he noticed while she was suppose to be at home--as she stated in her email--visiting with friends next door in Khon Kaen--documents from the account he set up for her had a withdrawal from Bangkok. When he asked her about this she said it was a mistake. She claimed she hadn't returned to Bangkok since their wedding, the day he flew back to Montana. He went to great effort to have the bank double-check where the withdrawal occurred. She claimed it was the Malikan branch on Bangkok Road in Khon Kaen. So--he sent her $85 and told her to please use that same branch bank for the withdrawal...she has refused and asked that he drop the subject as it is boring her, and she dislikes him accusing her as she is innocent. Ever since her weird behavior this spring, my son and I have been combing the internet to try and understand Thai culture, divorce and marriage laws, bar girls and found this forum. She has belatedly agreed to co-signing an annulment, and wants him to apply for the K-1 afterwards. However, when he asks that she and her mother or whomever, and nephew meet him in Bangkok where they married for annulment, with him paying all expenses, hotel, plane, etc. She refuses and says they must meet in Khon Kaen. My son worries that it wouldn't be safe to return to Khon Kaen. Although agreeing to co-signment of a non-contested divorce, she seems to be talleying up "her" expenses---could they hit him with a big bill for costing her "face" or whatever...and refuse to let him leave the country w/o his first paying? With a police chief father, who seems to really enjoy finding drug cars, which the police can then keep for themselves, and an uncle who is a lawyer---and the kind of records she seems to be keeping---it seems highly unlikely that my son can sail in, sign, and sail out. Would a proxy be allowed? The girl, herself, seems to rather naive, she has been caring for her sister's (who married a farang GI) child since the boy was 2 years old---the child is constantly being refused immigration by Thai authorities. The family seems to have an agenda of their own and she is just a pawn in the game...or so it seemed, until last spring when she seemed to change character from a loving bride and began ranting for more and more money. (We chalked it up to some translator writing the letters...perhaps even her sister who is now rich via marrying a farang who later became successful businessman. NO to spending outside the budget, but she just went ahead. Then threatened to become a bar-girl if he didn't send between 450 and 500 dollars a month. Later, she said this wasn't a serious threat, only a "test" of him. Originally the future wedding ceremony in Khon Kaen was agreed by the family to be: $1000 bride price, a modest ceremony which could be up to a $1000, and a diamond ring. Then this spring, arguing for $400 or $500 a month--which was never agreed upon priorly although she claims so--she also demands now for the wedding: 150,000 bahts for mother; 150,000 bahts for reception which the Mom will cater ; and 150,000 bahts for show at wedding--with an unspecified amount returned later. One one-carat diamond ring. She now claims if these demands aren't meant her parents will refuse to let her come to America. Also, recently she has said if $250 monthly isn't sent to mother then she won't be "allowed" to go. Once in America, she claims she will try to pay half of Mom's costs. My son thought maybe they could get non-contested annulment and then apply for a K-1 visa for her---as it seems risky to bring her to America as a wife---while he would be protected if she were only a fiancee. If they were simpatico here, they could marry in the US, and then return for the Thai ceremony in a year (and he could get a pre-nup before he marries her here.) Would this work?

    • Anonymous commented : ving him crazy. At first her phone calls and emails were affectionate. Then in the spring she became a vixen demanding more and more money and threatening to go to Pattya if he continued to "starve" her. She is in the exact same position as before the marriage--no extra expenses--she is paid for taking care of her sister's child--an eight year old nephew--at 800 Bahts a month...she lives at home (and does most of the work for her father and mother). Do girls usually insist on being supported Before they arrive in America on visa. He had wanted a fiancee visa, but was told by the sister and husband that this was impossible because of her age---26---and because her job as a family nanny---previously she worked in a karoke bar and was supposedly going to accounting school...for the year when she and my son corresponded. My son thought, and still occasionally thinks that maybe, there is a translation problem...as now all she talks about is money and his obligations...and that he is selfish for only sending her 2-250 bahts a month...he was saving for wedding, visas, fixing up his house for her, etc. He told them he wasn't a rich farang, just a 20ish architectural draftsman, starting his own business. This whole situation is making him sick---first believing she loves him, then believing she has someone new lined up. Any clues? It was when she started withdrawing money from a bank in Bangkok while claiming she was in Khon Kaen that he demanded answers...she claims the bank is crazy...though they've checked twice, and she claims it was from a Bangkok St in Khon Khan...but when he asked her to withdraw from that account again, she refused. Any hope? His sister who once travelled alone to Thailand recently, had all her money stolen by a man she thought was a Thai friend the first day in the country; then had a marijuana leave planted in her backpack on a train, when she left it to go to the bathroom which a Thai lady warned her about, so she was able to extricate it---and sure enough 15 mintues later a couple police came through asking to check inside luggage. This is a long letter, sorry, but we have no one to turn to. So far no one here knows any Thai law...at the law school...
