    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 : mal thai tan skin .. not like isan or shouthern people. well, skin tell you nothing but here are more than 90% tan skin women who are positute.. sorry but sometimes the true hurts. dont worry , not all. but come to pattaya and check good if what i say is truth or not. then even your good girlfriend who look so sexy and nice one, check good what she did or what she do BEHIND you. in Thailand we can know suddenly who is from that kind of place.. just listen to the words they use and the way of thinking and way of living their life. in thailand we says ' accent tell the native language, habit tells about your family'

    • Anonymous commented : Just enjoy sex. Do not give your heart. It is useless. Money is more important than love in Isan girl. Their parents keep selling daughters from this men to that men. Recent news, Korat marriage of an English and Thai prostitute is well known story here and now many parents try to push them divorce, sell and resell their daughter to farang. This is true story. They are some human being little better than animal. Don't forget this.

    Sin sod and in-law

    By Anonymous, Created on: 13/09/2006, Last updated on: 25/12/2008

    » I supported my gf through colleage and Uni (her parents are not rich), now that she has graduated, i wanted to marry her. But her parents are asking for 1Mil Baht for dowry. I had the money through hard earned savings (i am just a salaried worker), but i find the dowry excessive. I am afraid this...

    • Anonymous commented : In general my feelings are somewhat mixed about sin sod. I do not consider the fact of sin sid immoral or unreasonable, but I'd say it will depend, as always, on the people involved. I met a Thai girl three years before and it took me about a year to realize that it was indeed serious.Although I was verry much attracted to her charms and innocent honesty I was displeased by the greedy behavior of her mother and somehow unsure what to do. Luckily, her cousin gave me some good advice and we finally married about one year ago. I left her mother the choice of taking 300.000 Baht (and never hear of me ever after) or get 10.000 a month plus whatever they may occasionally need. Both offers were tied to the condition that my wife's younger sister would be allowed to complete whatever education she would like to have and not forced to leave school at the age of 16 for "family benefit" like my wife who had to work 6 days a week in a low-paid cashiers job for 7500 baht a month. Maybe not surprisingly my mother-in law decided to go for the 10.000 a month. It's actually no bad solution as my wife is happy being able to support her family in Thailand while she can do what she wanted...going to University here in Canada to complete her education. We can apply the necessary bit of pressure to ensure her baby sis has what she needs. Knowing my share of Thai people I'd say that such greedy practice is neither the rule nor the exception...but before the Thai cultural background with its MUCH stronger family ties it is not all wrong. Although the results may be sometimes displeasing according to our standards it does bespeak a primarily positive attitude...social responsibility. We must also not forget that most farang, at least compared to the standards of Isan families are of unimagineable wealth and that their approach is somet imes plain naive - how should they know what is the cost of all-day living in Farangland ?

    • Anonymous commented : I knew of a Japanese guy who married Isan teacher and had two kids. He supported her family with finest house in the county and rice mill and so on so that the mother in law can work and support herself. This guy sent his wife to the master degree and lived for 8 years. Recently her mother and her younger sister staying in New Jersey, try to let the teacher divorced and remarry a milk delivery man in New Jersey. The sister was ex-prostitute working in Hong Kong and Singapore and stay in New Jersey doing some lousy work. Sin Sot was partly paid 100,000 baht out of committed one million baht. On the secret process of visa processing to join this new husband, the Japanese guy caught them. He employed a lawyor, who said there is related laws of Sin Sot, Engagement, Marriage and family obligations in the Civil Act and these family violated clearly the related laws of Sin Sot and human traffickings. The guy is now preparing legal process against all people, his wife, her sister, her mother and the hooked up new husband and sue them to Thai court and New York magistrate with many critical, destructive charges against each of them. Unfortunately to this family, this Japanese guy is well educated international journalist and this time he is resolute to root out such fraudulant double marriage, not only custody his own children.

    • Anonymous commented : s raised in abject poverty in isan ,and left for bangkok when she was 17 in search of a better life ,she informs me all she ever knew was hard times,hunger and no future whatsover ,she do,s not blame her parents one bit cos they was all poor ,but she says the only person to ever give her hope for a way out for her was me,and me alone , and hardly a day go,s by when she says to me "what i do my life i no have you" also there are many personal things which happened between her and her family which for obvious reasons i won,t go into , its my intention to stay with her until i meet my maker ,but as far as giving her family anything i truly think hell will freeze over before they see one satang , regards ,colin .
