    Pre-Marital Sex. - Part I.

    » 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 : on and cutoff age for college admission. Thai people should be able to get their education and starting a carreer at any ages. If the women choose to have family first and get education later, they should be able to choose. Education system by itself already forcing Thai people to get marry at a later age. Most Thai leaders have miotic views of education and future, because of self-interests and foreign cultural influences. There is limited carreer choices for women who are divorced with children. They could not support their our children and their old parents with minimum wage, so prostitution may be an unwanted carreer of choice. I do not think that anything of significant will change soon in my lifetime. So those who want to marry or having sex with 10 years old will have to waite awhile longer or get a single bullet.

    Does thai society accept intermarriages?

    By Anonymous, Created on: 19/09/2003, Last updated on: 09/05/2006

    » The thai men that are undesirable are usually uneducated ones who try to get through life by being sleazy. This is why alot of thai women are turned off by marrying a thai man. Typical thai males are fairly unambitious, narrow-minded, and judgemental. I think that its the society that is teaching...

    • Anonymous commented : asons...one of this reason is admission process. Rich families are able to send their children abroad, and poor families ended up without education. If you think carefully, how can anyone determine a person potential by giving them written examinations. It is so backward; it is the same season for the decline of confucianism. Recently, I have been conducting my own experiment by testing my hypothesis from the know statistic. As from my previous posting, the computer usages by Thai female to male ratio is 2:1. This is due to different factors beside education. Computer is a easiest way for Thai women to reach out to the world or to foreign men. To make this short, I tested 4 websites with Thai women posting their pictures and profiles looking for friendships. I got all positive hits or good invitions when I portraying myself as foreign men, and negative reception as Thai man. All of these women or girls are looking for foreign men with only few of them having any knowledge of these countries and people. I only found one exception girl who is looking for Thai man; she is a 21 years old Thai-Chinese girl. I tested the women and girls in the age group between 16 to 30 years old. I have more than one women telling me that they hated Thai men. Of course, I did not ask them why...tried not to review myself to them. I think that it is very sad...Thai culture and Thai men is in decline and an endangered specie. We are bring breed out of our land by foreigners with the help from our women. What do Thai men have to hope for in their women?

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

    » 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 : people who can be guaranteed admission to our country appear to be Thai girls who are being trafficked for the vice trade. I had the same experience as you. No visa, no explanations, no comeback. Some searching questions were posed about our Bangkok embassy in a BBC2 programme on prostitution a few years back but they appear to have survived any fallout. Next year I am emigrating to Thailand and Comrade Blair can stick his politically correctist politburo where the sun doesn't shine. I understand that people are leaving the UK in droves for much the same reason. Sorry it doesn't help you much.

    divorce and marriage law in thailand

    By Anonymous, Created on: 23/04/2005, Last updated on: 12/07/2007

    » can any one advise me the following matter. a friend of mine will be getting married to his thai fiancee in 12 days time in thailand. what i would like to know is if the marriage should sadly break down and then his wife goes back to thailand after say they have lived in england for about 6 months...

    • Anonymous commented : e you have to pay 60 bath for admission to some place whereas Thais pay only 40 bath. With Australian currency in mind, this two dollars means nothing to most Aussies. (Practically when you travel to another country and spend money on something, you will work out how much it will cost in your own money.) You can’t even buy McDonalds for that money. On the other hand, if Thais have to pay the same amount as foreigners, many of them will think more than twice to buy tickets. Because that twenty bath more may mean that they would have to sacrifice something in order to buy a ticket. Now let me picture this for non-Australians. You can only buy medium size drink for two dollars from McDonalds in Australia. In Thailand, however, twenty bath can buy lunch plus drink for one person. And isn’t this relatively cheaper cost of living that drive most visitors to Thailand?

    • Billy Baht commented : d 10 times the Thai price for admission to National Parks, Grand Palace, etc. and usually are the loser/at fault party in any traffic accident or disagreement with a Thai citizen. Maybe the "Special Treatment" we receive is exploitation and mistreatment?

    • sym commented : entitlement to lower or free admission? I mean, there are plenty of non-Thai Asians visiting the Grand Palace each day, so I wonder how they are dealt with; otherwise it would almost be a race issue if they were given locals prices for looking local and farang are not, despite perhaps being resident in the country.

    Market segmentation or price discrimination

    By bitchnomore, Created on: 16/02/2009, Last updated on: 09/05/2009

    » I find that there is a lot of farangs here who are complaining about double pricing standards here in Thailand where they have to pay the often more expensive "tourist rate" rather than the "local rate". They should simply stop bitching, period. Why? 1. If you open your big...

    • DKO commented : you then lose their families admission fees with theirs and the vendors at the various locations will lose substantial business, hotels may also lose business due to fewer foreign visitors to some National Park locations 5. Hasn't the Military coup, the PAD with its airport closures and the Word Financial Crisis not done enough damage to Thai tourism and attraction venues without Thailand harming itself further with short sighted foreigner pricing policies. Can Thailand afford less tourists and visitors. Thailand is not the only desirable destination in South east Asia. If you are one of these people who think Thailand can be an "island" in the current World and need nobody, then think again . We all need each other including the Genuine British Isles. Your comment 3. about Ayutthaya is not a large extra to pay but you are being highly selective as in many places we can be talking about 100 or 200 Baht or more difference. Once again maybe you should do some research. Additionally you cannot morally justify higher charges for foreigners (base don jealousy) just [u:r5l50kzf]because they may have higher living standards[/u:r5l50kzf]. You do not know which do and which do not have higher living standards. What about all the foreigners who come from lower living standard countries than Thailand should they pay less than Thais? Please do not suggest they would not be here as they cannot afford to come, as that would just be a cop out on what I am saying. Maybe you would like a different charge for each country's residents based upon their standard of living? Maybe a means test questionnaire at each venue. Where do you pay your taxes? where do you work? do you earn more money than most Thais do? I joke but the point is valid where do you stop? Its also about time many Thais stopped this fantasy view that all Farangs are rich. Many cannot afford holidays for many years and have huge home mortgages and taxes. Do you know "bitchnomore" how much it costs for 2 spouses to fly to Thailand from Europe or the US before they even start to try to visit your dual tariff parks and attractions? I suggest you check it out coz it costs them BIG TIME Your comment 4. is YOU suggesting the ticket collectors are 'racist" if they go by colour of skin alone and many Farangs will tell you speaking Thai will not help with a cheaper rate one little bit coz we are still foreigners and the "tourist" rate payable. I wonder what my stepson son will have to pay. Father a farang (mother Thai),who saw him once and my stepson is THAI and only speaks Thai but he looks like a Farang (except his very Thai eyes that Thais do not often notice). Bet he would not be accepted as a Thai until he gets a Thai ID card at the appropriate age. In you intention to protect this lovely country and its people I feel your views do the reverse in reality, causing more negatives than positives. I say this as a Foreigner living here with my Thai wife and stepson and as a person who now considers Thailand as home and only wishes the best for Thailand and its people. May I suggest the you stick with your own alias yourself and bitchnomore . "People in glass houses" comes to mind!

    » Not a month goes by without another education bribery or corruption story hitting the presses. Graft in education is not new, and it is prevalent in many countries, not just in Thailand. By putting several stories together, I can see how attractive it must be for unscrupulous educators.
