Thai Divorce law

» 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...

They already have immigration laws to keep out foreigners, especially, those from none European descendants. Most Asian immigrants are mostly women and rich Asians, or refugees recently. Hey, it is easier to keep them out before they get to the front doors. Anyway, the European descendants in the new countries already established themselves. So those properties are already owned by these original settlers and colonists. If you very want equality, every countries need to remove all immigration laws and adopt single universal monetary standard, no passport and no immigration police.

• 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.
