    Understanding the American ways

    By Anonymous, Created on: 16/10/2004, Last updated on: 28/03/2007

    » I am a Thai lady who left Bangkok at the age of 20, lived in Singapore for 11 years before residing now in the US for the past 4 years. I lived in California for the first year & a half and now I live in Boise, Idaho. Determine to upgrade myself educationally, I enrolled for classes at the local...

    • Anonymous commented : I to can think of many better places to live than BKK. Phitsonolouk, Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Mae Hong Sorn and Chaing Rai are some. Just like in the US I do not want to live in New York or LA etc.

    • Anonymous commented : start to enforce and regulate new city plannings and codes. There are both private and public hospitals on Phuket and the surrounding provinces. Krabi has sizeable retirement communities. If you like sea foods and the sea, I would recommend any provinces south of Bangkok Metroplex starting from Phetchaburi to Songkhla.

    • Anonymous commented : december and they now have a new born baby. me and my husband along with friends are very worried about him as she taunts him saying the baby isnt his ( which it obviously is due to dates and looks) she is constantly on at him to send money home when they are only just managing to survive even though he is up to his neck in credit card debts she does not appear to have much respect for him even though he does all he can works cooks helps with baby etc. she swears at him and sticks 2 fingers up at him and pinches him in front of others and now the most awful bit is that they are going to thailand in november and she has suggested to him that she stays there with the baby so she can look after her brother and dad. her aunty will look after baby. i am so cross and worried as i never expected this sort of behaviour from her. i honestly thought that once she settled they would be a doting couple and have respect for each other. i really dont want him to go as if this is her attitude he should keep the baby and just cut his losses woth her. but how can you tell a friend that. and why is she not putting her husband before her brother and dad. i can understand her respect for her dad but at the end of the day he is only 43 and her brother is fit enough to work. please could someone advise me as i am at a lost what to think. i have tried to search for his rights after marrying a thai but to no avail.

    • Anonymous commented : ting this when you visit your new mom in law. BTW - Most farang are considered bums if you don't, prior to getting married, pay a tribute to the mother. Roughly 2500 US dollars is the minimum expected of any foreigner. Just things to be ready for. You need to be prepared to accept their culture as well, because most are strongly loyal to their way of life. You may think you're being taking advantage of, but thats how a majority of women in Thailand think. Its only recently women there are questioning that. Abuse is never a good sign though. But I wouldn't think twice about "more money, more money, find a way to send more, think of your baby, bla bla". That seems to be what almost every woman I've talked to there would say. However I've noticed younger women obsessed with the western movie stereotype of love lately. So, in time, Thai shouldn't base their love on money. Considering all else, while it is not "ok" for Thai men to run around on their woman. There's no law about it AND its not looked down upon at all save for traditionalist Thai's in villages. Very few in a city, albeit. The result, is Thai women found out, that there are laws on Western men cheating on them and more on child support etc. Quite a few of them, especially ones working in bars, or tourist locales has grown up without a father, and had many failed relationships, and therefore do not trust men or simply don't expect them to be faithful. They tend to then, place all their love and importance on their child and family. Because although their family may be abusive (Thai families i've seen practice tough love, ie mother "you're stupid, prove you're smart to me") They do honestly believe their family is the one thing that will stay with them forever but you, their spouse, may not. I'm not out to offend anyone, Honestly, I think Thailand is one of the most beautiful, and respectful countries in the world. If you're outside of Bangkok and Pattaya, Its the best. If you're there for sex, that's your thing. I don't blame those girls, they can sleep with two men a month, and make enough to live very well. Anyone, feel free to email me, I really do love Thailand. Its a great place and the people, if you understand them and don't pass judgement, are THE most respectful people I've ever met. I'd love to talk about it, and/or attempt to answer any questions. Im American BTW

    Thai Divorce law

    By Anonymous, Created on: 02/12/2004, Last updated on: 09/01/2009

    » I heard from a farang that under Thai law men can divorce women in two days. But for a woman, it takes two years. The reasoning being that women are thought of as temperamental creatures, prone to wild mood swings, who need plenty of time to calm down...

    • Anonymous commented : To get your own way is what YOU sound, you appropriately named Rooster. One reason why those countries you mention have ever-tougher immigration laws, is because when immigrants finally get in - they can own whatever they have the money to buy. Whereas in Thailand, your government still stops this. Eg. Mr. Thaksin, your billionaire PM, can buy anything in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. But we can not even co-buy a small amount of land in Thailand - even if married to a Thai, with half Thai children. And you're wrong about immigration - there's far higher immigration of Asians into these Western countries than vice versa.

    • Anonymous commented : step is to refile them at the new district where her intended new family house registry is going to be. Once her house registry is in order, she can register for the Thai national ID card. With the house registry, Thai ID, and old passport on hand, she can go to make her new Thai passport. With all documents in procession, she can petition Thai Embassy in Washington D.C.. to issue your daughter a Thai birth certificate with a long process of 6 months to a year. When you build a house in Thailand, the district office will open a new house registry for your wife as head of the household by moving her name from her sister's house to the new house. Your daughter name can be file at this house and your name too as legal resident.

    • Anonymous commented : It's utopian to expect no border controls. At least until Thailand joins with Australia and New Zealand in an equivalent of the European Union (where border controls have been abolished). I say Australia and New Zealand, because in a very long time from now, something like this may happen. Looks like never between Thailand the US, Europe, etc. Meanwhile Australia and New Zealand keep pushing their visa fees up. And one reason for that is : because in these countries Thais can own anything, but in Thailand farang are banned frowm owning almost anything.

    • Anonymous commented : only settled 60% because the new one he has might just suck all. Waint and see.

    • Anonymous commented : y's appliances for their new house where she still lives. Her expenses haven't increased since we married, so I don't know why I should be "supporting" a 26 year old able-bodied woman who claims to have higher education--yes, accounting. My question: Can I have a lawyer or someone take my papers to the divorce office to represent me? I don't want to return to Thailand! I stopped sending any money after she claimed that w/o 500 a month from me, she would starve and be forced to become a bar girl. I suspect a scam. I also expect if I return they will either slam me with huge costs, alimony for a woman I never lived with, or I'll become a "disappeared" or thrown in prison. I desperately want out. I'm already heartsick but don't want to become destitute as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Also, can uncontested divorces be down in Khon Kaen? I wanted to return to Bangkok where we married, but she insists that I return to Khon Kaen where her family has a lot of police and legal power. I feel I'm being fleeced (at the time I quit sending money she was also saying without a 8000 dollar wedding ceremony and a one carat diamond ring, and 250 dollars a month for her parents once we were in America, her parents wouldn't agree to let her come to America. (If immigration would even let her in...she seemed nice and loving, but sometimes would withdraw $$ from the account I set up for her from a Bangkok bank, while I was being emailed the same day from Khon Kaen...she claims my bank there is "stupid" but won't do anything to prove there was an error--and continues to claim she has never returned to bangkok since our marriage registration. Help!
