    • Anonymous commented : Gina, I do respect your Cinderella story. Life is not perfect. I knew many cases where foreign men prohibited their Thai wives from sending money to their parents. I will tell you of a recent case where a woman from Saraburi was prohibited to send money to her parents and from visiting them for more than 40 years. Her educated death husband prevented her from learning how to drive and learning English. It was sad story to the end where he arranged to liquidate his asset without her knowledge and even giving the lawn mower to his neighbor. His children from his previous marriage and her daughter came down like vultures. Of course in USA, the wife has more right to property and assets than the children or relatives. Before he died, he and the children managed to withdraw over $500,000 in cash from bank accounts. The case is still in progress in the northern US state. She could leave the country until the case is settled. At the mean time, her family members were abled to visit her with short visa restriction. I think it is great that Thai women were are abled to marry foreigners and leaving their country for respective good lives. But I think that there should be some type of prenuptial agreement. I am still think that traditional Thai culture is still best for selecting out bad candidate as my family has experienced from these supportively better foreigners.

    • Anonymous commented : What is the motive for this wealthy girl to beg you to marry her other than being ignorant? If she does have tourist visa, she could ask any men in the USA to marry her since she would be some Asian freeby to them. And it is not uncommon for Asian girls and women to arrive in developed countries with some type of visas, then they are actually pursuing some foreign for husbands. I am thinking that she either very ignorant and or very unattractive person. On the other hand, her family could steal somethings and or on the verge of bankruptcy.?

    RE: My Mom doesn't Like Farangs

    By Anonymous, Created on: 07/12/2004, Last updated on: 19/09/2007

    » Your mom is right baby. Most farangs could'nt be entrusted. They consider your country as a backyard brothel that should yield to all their queer demands and nature. They look for cheap sex and free service. Sex that act on the woman as if she were a sex tool that responds automatically without resistance....

    • Anonymous commented : raise good family, especially foreign husband and thai girls. Thai mothers nver encourage her daughters to keep good long marriage and raise children, when the old woman dislike farang son in law, she endlessly press down the unimpressive girl to divorce and find new man, rich and ready to feed girl's family. Thai people have no family value and children especially girls, are regarded SOMBAT of parents (sombat is property) and they freely sell and buy through 4 - 5 repeating marriages). So most of Thai husbands, failed, go and kill the girl's mother, the mother in law, first hand when betrayed. This homicidal reports are up every day on thai dailies, Matichon, Khom Chat Neuk, Daily News, Kho Sot, and so on. Be careful farang Man !!! (farang husbands are also frequently killed here, it is the matter of money and conspiracy of "Mother in law".

    • Anonymous commented : Correction. Son originally agreed to give new Thai bride $250 a month (not 250 bahts) from MT until processed her K-3. He also sent twice that originally for a period of time to help her pay off her previous debts. Then he insisted that they go back to their original agreement--$250 only--except for emergencies and gifts. She had gotten used to the higher amount and hit the roof and refuse to maintain the budget by spending all the $250 from the account he set up for her as soon as it arrived--the first week of the month and then cajoling constantly for more.. When he refused to send more--as he had warned her he must save for visa, marriage and take care of his new business--She claimed he was starving her and not meeting his obligations. She didn't seem to ever believe 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?

    divorce and marriage law in thailand

    • Anonymous commented : ls are leading in looking for foreign husbands now also since Chineses are traditionally prohibiting their daughters from marrying indigenous Thai men; this situation is due to low availability of quality local Chinese men. I do not think that there would be this type of problem if the batch of post-WWII Chineses integrated with the local Thais like their previous immigrant cousins. Either ways, the trend and fad now are for Thai women to export themselves to any rich foreign countries with any type of foreign men...mostly of not very high quality comparing to what are available in their native countries in my view and experiences. With these trend and western fads, these gullible women and urbanites are picking-up bad habits and foreign low caste social practices like fornication. There will not be much changes and improvements if Thai government is not moving toward suitable mass education system and decentralization of wealths and infrastructures.

    • Anonymous commented : Thanks Juta & Rooster Juta, I am wanting to settle down & maybe get married, to the right person, I just got fed up with western women, or at least the ones that i was meeting. Western women do not interest me much these days. I am not interested in a casual partner, not at my age. Rooster, She is 36 & 'I am told' she has never had a man & so is a virgin. How true that is i don't know, does that change the dowery by much? She appears to be from a fairly poor family, as i did meet her parents at their house. She has a university degree i am told, but she could not explain to me in what as her english is not good, i am paying for english lessons for her at the moment. She works for her sisters beauty salon (which i have been to) & she tells me that she gets paid 100 baht a day. Her translators husband (the american) tells me that she chooses to work within the family & could get much more pay elsewhere. I questioned why & said that i thought it was sad that she had not made use of her degree (i got no response - FYI, this was by email after i returned to UK). Your comment on why i want to marry a 36 year old woman was not appreciated. As my original posting said, i am 45. I really don't think that 9 years younger is unrealistic. What age would you like to see, 18? Do you want me to be another middle age western man with a baby bride. Perhaps you are ageist Rooster. I was not particularly planning to have children, but then again i would like to meet someone under 40, (not meaning to sound ageist myself there) so if they were of a child bearing age, didn't have a child but wanted one & we got to love each other & wanted to get married then i may change my mind, after all i wouldn't want to deprive them of that natural desire. As for the for the foreign students & housekeepers. That is not what i am looking for, I am not looking for someone to wait on me & i am not after sexual gratification with a much youger woman(I could go to Bangkok for that), my head rules me (not my penis) which may be less common than the other way round. Thanks again both & as suggested i will be reading more of these postings.

Whether she is UK citizen or not, she will have the same legal right. I do not know much about UK law. But if you were married about a year or two, than what make her entitled to 10,000 UK pound.? In USA, she will not be eligible for her greencard until after two years. Foreign women are under probation and watch by Homeland Security until they become citizens.

    • Anonymous commented : Emily, enough for those who do not have respoect in Thai laws but still want to marry Thais and stay in Thailand (I don't know why) This are the facts for foreigners marry to Thai nationals. Foreign women who marry to Thai men can opt to use their surnames or change to their husband names. However, children will be required to use their fathers' names. Women can expect to be supported (morally and financially) from their husbands, or they can file for a divorce based on this ground. Foreigners, male or female, or married to Thai nationals may not own lands in Thailand more than what allowed by law. However, children will have the full right in this regard provided they are registered their birth certificates under Thai law. I have posted some web sites re foreigners marrying Thais on this forum. Have a good look and make informed dicison. Don't listen too much to those crocs.
