    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 : If I can refer you to the thread some way below this entitled Visa entry into the UK or something similar, you will see that when I made an application for my partner, I did so with a letter of support from my member of parliament but it was ignored, apparently with contempt. You do not say where you are based but, assuming you are in the UK, I advise you to make a formal complaint to your MP. He cannot ignore it, especially with an election due in June. Originally, I was prepared to give this up as a bad job but, in view of your earlier thread, I am going to write to my MP again. When I was growing up in the UK, I used to live in a democracy. I am not awfully sure what it is I'm living in now - hopefully not cloud cuckoo land -so if you want to start some sort of "Cause Celebre," lets do it. You have my email address if you do not want to use these boards.

    • Anonymous commented : Under Australian immigration law, a criminal record usually automatically bars sponsorship. But we've got John Howard as PM - and he's very, very tough on illegal immigration. That's one reason why he keeps winning elections - by huge majorities. The UK should copy Howard's Oz.

    Freedom of Ownership by Owning Boathouse

    » Excellent idea my dear Rooster. I once heard of a farang on Koh Samui who built a detachable house - so when the Bangkok big-shots, who owned the land, decided to do that traditonal Thai scam of telling the farang to move off their land, hoping to get...

    • Anonymous commented : Robin - right now I would n't advise anyone to buy property in Thailand. But there's now serious talk among Thailand's major leaders, during his current election campaign, about overhauling the antiquated anti-foreigner laws. These laws were enacted by military regimes umpteen decades ago, when Thailand - and the world - had a vastly different economy. I'm sure Thais - with their great ingenuity, subtle abilities to compromise, and great market common sense - will come up with a workable solution that makes possible more security for foreign investment, while keeping control of their country.

    » How will you know if your marriage to your beautiful Thai wife is for real or a marriage of convenience?

    Meeting a suitable girl

    • Anonymous commented : Mike. I would hesitate using the term, "Pimp." These women or girls always making the same common mistakes. Why do you think Abhisit of the Democrate Party getting the most votes from people who think is handsome and do not know much about his policies? If you are an American, you can look back into the American history. Warren Hardling was elected by popular woman votes in the 1920 presidential election. Hey, I was taken by a Chiangmai girl without sexaul rewards since I was sticking to the tradition. She was fishing with her hands and feet. My loses were minimize to gifts and some money to help out certain situations that was in 1995 - 1996. You still have chance for a good woman whether she is a bar-girl or office worker. I have found this dividing line to be very gray. I knew of many formal bar-girls who have made very good wives and mothers for their foreign husbands. If the girls abused cigarettes, drugs and alcohol, you can be sure that these girls will never be good wives or good mothers. These are tell-trail signs of bad dharma.

    advice for a naive women

    By Anonymous, Created on: 16/12/2007, Last updated on: 03/01/2008

    » Hi, Can anyone help me or give me some advice please. Just recently my mother–in-law has visited her brother-in-law in Pattaya, and met a Thai man. The thing is she has just lost her husband of 30 years 4 months ago. She told us that she really likes him as he made her feel really special,...

    • Anonymous commented : AD. Labeling is a rude form of ignorant. As Buddhist, it is a form of sin to be ignorant. In today's political correctness, western women seemed to enjoy labeling and putting down men by labeling them while they are talking about men freely. You do not find men trying to label women as female chauvinists. In any cases, chauvinism is seemed as purely male. This western notion of chauvinism are being promoted here in Thailand also with significant corrupted western cultural influences; good influences seemed to untransmittable world wide for some reasons due to mostly profits. As I said before, Thai men have been getting the bad wraps from the faitures of our leaders and bad foreign agendas...indigenous Thais are getting bad wraps too. They are leisurely being labeled with names for profits and for advantages of others. We are third class citizens in our own land. Our young women are being catering as prostitutes, servants, export commodity, and etc.. In foreign countries in EU or North America, Asian prostitutes are portraying themselves as being Thais including in the internet. It destroying our social and cultural integrities. With muslims, chineses, and etc. wanting to make their own dominations over the expenses over our backs. As you saw and see in this past election, it seemed fair and right to label rural Thais and indigenous Thais as vote sellers. If I have my ways and resources, I wish to take all these Bangkok urbanites and politicians to court for slandering and etc..

    • Anonymous commented : APJ, You are the decision maker in your life. Are you willing to give up your vote on how your life will play out? Most successful relationships have a deal where each player gets a vote in the direction they are headed. Any no vote cancels the election. This is an important point in your life, don't leave it to a one vote election, hers. She already told you what her price was, now you are back in negotiations. I will be cruel here, remember when you first met her, her dad was ok with a 500 baht bar fine and 2000 baht for long time, that works out to 6000 a month and 72000 a year, now they want 700,000 for short time. If it were me I would walk, as Colin says there may be at least one other woman who might just like what you have to offer without all of these qualifications. In the US we call that baggage.

    » Well, sometimes the rich and famous due get locked up. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews ... rs-in-jail

    • Renaissance commented : [color=#0000BF:1w0fjtjh]What this thread shows is that people are fed up with the rich having one system of justice for themselves while the rest of the population have an inferior kind. It also shows how people expect rich criminals to get away with their crimes, either completely, or with a small prison sentence until the dust settles and everyone forgets about the crime. Personally, I think that there will be another major incidence of this when Taksin is invited to lead the next government after the next election. In exchange for a few Baht, his crimes will be declared as having been politically motivated and unjust and the sentences will be dismissed; his money will returned to him; all the poor officials who made decisions against him will be exiled to Nakorn Nowhere and to the southern provinces; the 5-year ban of the 101 politicians who were involved in vote-buying will be cancelled as being politically motivated, in exchange for a few Baht; they will all join Taksin's parties and take advantage of the opportunities again; systems will be changed back to serve the rich better; and the traditional status quo will finally be restored. People will complain on the Bangkok Post's Forums about how it is so unfair that the rich have one system of justice for themselves, etc., but nothing will change, and really, I think we all know this. Moo Ham's case is just a reflection of how corruption has eaten through the fabric of the country. Indeed, maybe if his father pays enough, Moo Ham will be made a Minister.[/color:1w0fjtjh]
