    • Michael Bukit commented : Hello!!! ThaiPride, I would like to call you BritPride instead. You are such a generous Brit that you should be proud of and to call you BritPride other will know that you are a British. I am sure your wife family must be very proud of their Brit son-in-law for your generous contribution to your extended Isaan family. May I ask did you pay them in cash on the wedding day? Did they count them in front of all their guests? If they did the news must had spreads faster that CNN and BBC in the whole chang wat if not must be at least the ampur or Tamboo. Of course it is your money you had the right to spend/give what/how you want as long as you are happy. 1 million baht sin sord to a poor bargirl from Isaan and 50K baht per month for expenses will make the wife family into a Hi-so people in their village. And soon every girl in your wife village/tamboo will not be interested in Thai man anymore unless they can afford something close to that. The girls will be going all the way out to look for farang man. And farang man willing to marry Isaan girl will have to pay more in the future. Inflation, inflation, inflation. You are right to say that 'bride wealth' is the South East Asian custom where the family of the bride receives gifts and wealth from the family of the groom. In Isaan custom/tradition, it is also the girl duty to support and look their parent. Coz groom is married into the bride family. Here I wish you all the best for your newly established family. God bless you.

    • nboonpr commented : Gohmer, Very well said, I totally agree with you! I am a Thai living in America. America is a great country and I'm so afraid right now that she will become like Europe. Recently Itraveled to the Middle East with a group of Australians, they all bashed an hated America and its value because they are so ignorant and too arrogant to try to know the truth and understand it. To those who bash and hate America, get educated and just don't listen to or read CNN, it gives you only one side of the view and story.

Don't trust/believe everything you hear or read, and definitely question/be wary of simple generalizations.

    IS Thailand Safe?

    By Wally, Created on: 08/11/2008, Last updated on: 07/12/2008

    » Thailand is relatively safe, many of the statistics you cite are largely Thai-Thai. All countries have areas best avoided, Thailand is no different, but for the most part I think it is quite safe. Mind you this will vary depending whether you are in Chiang Mai or Pattaya.

    • Martinus commented : [quote="MustaphaMond":3iv7txc1]Thailand is rated #3 in gundeaths in the world with over 20,000 in 2006 compare to "guncrazy" US that had just under 10,000. that's some per capita ... Just how many men have been murdered for their bank accounts by their wife's family? And what about Thai DCA giving back operating permits to an airline that wasn't complying with safety regulations and a plane crashed because of it ? NO indictments, no fines... Amazing..[/color][/size][/quote:3iv7txc1] These stats from nationmaster and such are ususally never referred to by the likes of CNN and BBC How come???

    • Anonymous commented : Ian, It is difficult for a western cultured alien to understand the common personality of ordinary Japanese, and to be worse, Japan and the people have been wrongly introduced to the world by western scholars and, to be funny by Japanese descendants whose ancestors migrated to US in 19 and 20c. In general, their studies are full of mistake or too imaginery products. I can say there is no racism or racial discremination in modern Japanese society. However there is a rigid value among them, say, distinguishing MEIMOKU and HONNE. The former is external appearance that shall socialize with others including foreigners, and the latter is the internal faith or real desire of an individual. In other's eyes, it is shown as a double-ty or confused personality. A Japanese ususally form two groups around him, one is formal or open society and other is the group of inner people. When they play golf in a team and if the team is inner cicle people, they used not to invite a lone alien player into their group. However if the team is a gathering of 'international' people, they are friendly and open to anyone. Here their MEIMOKU works well, like paying bill alternatively, in strick golf rule and atiquette by way of carefully chosen conversation. Because the rule of Meimoku is not to disturb others and not loosing own face. This whole picture is seen by westerners as 'discrimination'. Also Japanese people is ones who feel easily "shyness" to, especially to westerner because the western culture is advanced and "they may cajole our Nato eating culture". (Nato is deeply fermented soy bean paste, generally emits strong, unacceptable odor. Also the raw fish eating is same.) Befriending a Japanese is initially difficult but once got it, they are very pleasant people. Getting into the inner circle - Honne group is the matter. Korean and Chinese know this very well and they deal Japanese very well. Also few of them feel they are discriminated by a Japanese. Rather they often cajole clumsy Meimoku protocol Japanese demonstrates. "You must endure long greeting ceremony when you meet first Japanese business partner" Once CNN reporter reported. Many Japaneses too laughed at this report. Today most of internationalized biz people or youngers are same one as found in London. They are rude, impolite and aggressive, as long as in the eyes of the old generation of Japanese.
