Anonymous commented : hi ian , i think it depends on the women , my lady informs me that her family NEVER did anything for her and her loyalty's are with me and me alone , in other words in every situation i come first and her family is a very distant second , regards , colin .

Anonymous commented : hi ian , i forgot to add, my relations with my wifes family are very cordial and in almost 4 years i have lived here i have never had any problems whatsoever , also at my wifes insistence the house ownership is in my name , same as my car , regards , colin .

Anonymous commented : hi ian , i must confess i have not a clue what the UK embassy,s guidelines are at this moment in time , so you will have to get professional advice , i only know from the information i have gleaned from those who have failed in getting a UK visa for there thai wife that the pitfalls are many , i just hope along with others that you make it , but as juan so rightly puts it take your time in coming to any conclusions , good luck ,colin .

Anonymous commented : hi ian , to be candid i was not aware my wifes family wanted anything at all , for sure they have never asked me for anything , when i met my wife we was away from the family home for 5 months in samui , maybe my wife informed them of my views on being leeched on by all and sundry , for sure she phoned them every week , another myth buster is farangs always say the wife always wants to be with the family , mine wanted to go back to samui after 3 weeks here in buriram , in my opinion i think my wife knows full well the lifestyle she leads today with me and the one she had before are light years apart and solely down to her husband not her family or friends , regards , colin .
