    Learning about Thai ladies in marriage and culture

    By Anonymous, Created on: 23/08/2003, Last updated on: 21/10/2007

    » I would like to learn about the Thai lady in marriage and the Thai culture. The reason for this, is that after literally travelling the world for many years, during work commitments, and meeting along the way many ladies for serious relationships. I met along the way a lady from Thailand. We met many...

    • Anonymous commented : l, social problems later. My uncle loved the solar, dynamo, and battery operated radio plus flashlight. They could take the radio out to the field with them and left it on all day. There are plenty of things that you can buy from Bangkok. Western style supermarkets and shopping center like Wal-Mart are everywhere as in other small cities. Remember, indigenous Thais are not greedy people, and sharing is very important thing in life. Oh, you should make sure to give B100.00 baht to each children in the family before you leave; it would be their saving money or candy money. The amount of money giving to older adults is often unnecessary, but it would depending on your generosity.

    • Anonymous commented : Every times, I am visiting my uncle village; the kamnan (village chief) always come over to visit me since I always bring gift for the village school. The kamnan is usually the elder in the village with better economic status than other village members. He always greet me first to show sign of respect. At the same time, I would try to greet him and low myself a little to show him respect. I would invite his family to have super with us since they are plenty of foods and drinks. Your problem would be the language barrier, but you should learn how to greet people the Thai way and learning few words like thank you and hello in Thais. Anyway, acting like youngster does make you feel younger, especially with your wife. You will eventually gaining more respect from other old and young people, which will depending on how you conducting yourself. You also need to call her mom and dad like they are your mom and dad in Thai since they would be like your parents. I would recommend that you learn Thai from Bangkok Post website or get a Rosetta Stone Thai language program for your computer.

    • Anonymous commented : n 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?

    • Anonymous commented : hers house via her auntys and uncles mobile phone store different aunty and uncle from the ones I met months earlier and slept next to her and her grand mother for NYE on the floor!!! I felt touched what can I say....It was pleasant. Since that time I asked her if she wanted to come visit my country being Australia and meet my friends and family and see my lifestyle. She wanted to so much it caused big trouble in her family as her mum would Not get her a passport and in Thailand the law is 20 yrs to get passport legally with out parents permission. So, I asked what next, she replied (knowing that I have never been married or even engaged and that I never planned to marry in this life time) can we please get married just for my parents, she had stated when I first met her that she never wants to marry or have children, which suited me as I have felt the same all my life. I am 36 yrs old now and she is 19 yrs old now, I was 35 when I met her... I am a very young, fit and cool 35 yrs old, 'so I am told'... lol After meeting her mum again and step dad as she grew up with a step dad her real dad did the runner on her mum when she was pregnant to this gal I am writitng about. They accepted me to marry her and asked when? it was decided Sept 2006 and they said one of thier cousins married a english man and he paid 500,000bht and gold to parents as the 'Dowry' (Sin sod or Khan Maak). I said ok can she come to Australia 1st to meet my family and see my country to determine if she wants to live thier and if she likes it so we can plan our future together in a mature and logical way with out pressure and time frames. They said 'NO' marry 1st, and then said have a quik wedding and you can take her. I felt like I was being sold a human being and backed off and told her in front of her parents and one Thai-indian friend I asked to acompany me to this lunch meeting - that I DONT BUY PEOPLE, its Illegal in my country and immoral & degrading according to the way I was raised. We have had many problems since that meeting with her parents. Since that time this young gal has tried to commit suicide, run away from her famliy and myself, she cutt off all communications with me and told me not to marry her as her family are what we had talked about regaing many Thai's and started to treat her as a ATM due to the fact that she had a farang boyfriend, she cheated on me with a other man. I felt It would be best if I hired an interpreting service here in Australia and talk direct to her mum via a Thai interpreter provided by my Govt. services, after that 1 and half hour chat with her mum on the phone that costed over $200AUD I caught a plane to Bkk 3 weeks ago and found her, we spent Sokran festival together on 2 of the Islands after having dinner with her parents and brother and they gave permission...lol...Her step dad said he respects me for bringing her back home after she had left to go live with that Sugar daddy Cult...and that I am a good man he felt... We went away together and spoke in detail about all the events that took place over the past 8 months. I am now back in Australia, and I am a little confussed but feel like I know whats going on. Can anyone tell me what they think of the above even though its in brief and I have cut a long story very short.... I would also like to know if anyone can tell me how much a 'Dowry' is normaly paid to the family? (Amount & Gold) Do legal agreements legaly cover my assets in Thailand? She has said she will sign any legal document from my legal advisers regarding the protection of my assets in Australia... Does a legal registered marriage in Thailand protect the Farang? Or does it differ from a Thai to Thai marriage? She has stated she loves me, and will be loyal as its the Thai culture way and she has been a good person to me over all, so I am split 50/50. No she is Not a Glamour, and not the type of girlfriend I have even dated in my life in any country, she is average looking, tiny/thin and short. But I must say I was and am attracted to her thinking pattern and level of intellect and do see potential as a real life friend/partner or what ever you wish to call it when 2 people have a meeting of the minds 'Soul-Mate? Thanks in advance... Thong Lo (my Thai nick name) lol

    DECEASED ENGLISH MAN WANTS TO LEAVE WILL TO THAI WIFE

    • Anonymous commented : the world. Presumably, your uncle did not leave a will actually mentioning his new wife, but I would think a subsequent marriage invalidates the previous will, one must provide for one's spouse etc. Have you checked with a lawyer?(they can be pains sure)

    • Anonymous commented : when I saw their parents or uncle came to BKK to receive their wages. The girls were proudly to hand their hard earned money to their folks. Although these girls earn a meager salary, they usually manage to save more then 75% as their lifestyles do not require them to waste money on keeping up with their looks. Seeing that I'm gladly give all my credit to the parents for raising a fine and respectful young ladies.

    • MTT commented : nd was married to a man whose uncle was in politics, at one time the head of a political party, and during the eight years she worked on getting her citizenship the uncle held two different Minister positions as head of the two departments. She also now had his last name. She got her citizenship after she tutored (TOEFL) the son of a person who worked in the department which granted citizenships. This second lady had many stories about her using the card. It usually boiled down to the fact that the person looking at her card always did a double take and scrutinized the card thoroughly. This was followed by questioning and usually a supervisor was called in to give final approval. Even Thais find it unbelievable.
