    » if married in thailand i am a uk man she is thai lady can she have a claim on my property and my bussiness if we were to divorce

    • Anonymous commented : I think you guys need some professional advice in this regard. Today thai girls are wise and mostly it is them to chase you to register marriage. All property acquired and kept in, say in London before this thai marriage, is of course excluded to divide when thai divorce. However wise thai wife tracks them down on pillow and half drunken farang gave all past information to her. Then she will chase you to sell them and buy new condo nearby London, or if they are stock, let you switch from BP to Shell stock. If you do this, all your money is subject to share her. Even if you dont confess, Thai resident lawyors or 'True' detective service in London track down your personal information about double marriage, hidden property and hidden children. My best advice to all of you are Dont register marriage, but support thai wife and if you really love her, buy a house to her, and say clearly "This is all what I can do for you because I love you". That is it, then your life will be safer. If you have new child from thai wife, you can concede title to child with its fater - your name, then your wife and her sibling can not sell it without your attention to the registration office (in Thailand, regional land department, Do not put thai wife name as the inheritant, or her brothers will do harm to you children). Once again, the best advice to all of you farang men is, do not register marriage.

    • Anonymous commented : I'm with Fred on this. Colin, you mention I think you're 66. In a decade or so, I assume you'll still be living in Isaan, rather than back to UK? I think you said you have kids with your Thai wife (sorry if wrong, too lazy to re-read the thread). When you get to the stage that you and your wife need a little help looking after yourselves, who is going to do that? For me one of the most admirable and beautiful aspects of Thai culture is the way that children respect, take care of and are utterly devoted to their parents. For them the thought of packing ageing parents off to a old people's home - not that these places even exist in Thailand - is quite disgusting. You come from Manchester, I come from London. I would swap this aspect of UK society for the Thai version any day. That is why I do not mind helping to take care of my Thai girlfriend's parents. As, when and if we get married, I will be making a commitment to my wife to help her continue to do this. I do not think this shows me to be a weak willed farang - I think it shows an understanding and appreciation of the different culture into which I am marrying and coming to live - like you, I am dumping the UK for Thailand - at least on that much we agree! :) I am simply sharing my view - I am not criticising you for yours. I wish you all the best. Andrew

    • Anonymous commented : Be careful to farangs who seek for marriage through M, Y, match dot com, and many hundred marriage hoax dot com agents. Many innocent, female students, housewives, female teachers and female government officials are hoaxed into cross-marriage by offering unlimited conditions such as millions baht Sin Sot (dowry), adoption of Thai born children from former or incumbent husbands of Thai nationals. This networks are partly agented by Thai prostitutes and overseas prostitutes or ex-prostitute-married or divorced from farang husband. There is a New York agent. Her name is Mrs. Robinson (ex-Thai prostitute worked in Bangkok, Pattaya, Hong Kong, Singapore and lured a naive American young man to marry). London, Rome, New York, LA are the main places where lure innocent Thai women to marry, milk delivery man, sewage dealer, drug traffickers, unemployeed, prostitution runner, etc. Well educated Thai women found miserable life after known all history and capacity of new husband and dumped into commercial venues with adopted Thai children. All Thai women must be very careful and Thai government must involve in this international marriage and welfare of their own national children.

    enry into the u.k. for thai girlfriends/partners

    By Anonymous, Created on: 02/01/2005, Last updated on: 07/06/2006

    » I started out trying to help my Thai employee (with a British passport) to bring her twenty two year old daughter to the U.K. for a family visit. Thought it would be a breeze. Mother rents a single room so I offered my family home for daughter to stay in during visit. I've heard stories about the...

    • Anonymous commented : Is it always this bad? Admittedly it is frustrating have to obtain a visa in order for your thai girlfriend or wife to visit the UK. It is a pain having to fill out the forms, give your life histories and queue all night to get an interview. But sometimes it works. Having met my thai girlfriend while travelling in Asia, and visiting her once on holiday we wanted her to come to the UK for a longer period. I looked into student visas, visitor visas, engagement and marriage visas with the visitor being the easiest and quickest. I sent her the forms along with my payslips, phone bills and a signed letter. She went to Bangkok, told them what colour my boxers are and got her visa. Booked a flight and we spent a great six months together. So somewhere in the supposedly corrupt embassy in Bangkok there are some honest officials who can spot a sweet young girl who just wants to visit her boyfriend. And as quick I am to vent my angers at British immigration laws being surrounded by so many immigrants, I’m sure these people aren’t deliberately causing grief or just trying to fill their own back pockets. Through my girlfriend I’ve now met a large number of Thai people in London. Some who should be here and some who shouldn’t. Unfortunately the British embassy is run by people who naturally make mistakes and my utmost sympathies it they rejected your girlfriend or wife at the expense of admitting somebody they should have sent back to Patpong. Now I just hope she’ll be able to come back in the same manner, as can we really justify needing another six months in the UK to meet my family and visit Buckingham Palace?

    British Embassy in Bangkok

    By Anonymous, Created on: 05/10/2004, Last updated on: 25/02/2011

    » In March, my Thai partner wanted to visit me in London. Before granting a visa, the Embassy wanted a mountain of paperwork including proof of my income, whether or not I woned my own home and a whole lot of other things. At this stage, I have to say that we have many controversial issues in the UK...

    • Anonymous commented : Hi Zemran and rooster. I have heard other stories about the British Embassy in Bangkok whichleave a nasty taste in the mouth. Seven years ago, there were rumours going around the Khao San Road that British visas could be obtained at the embassy by way of corrupt officials. This story was resurrected two years later in a television programme aired on BBC 2 about the trafficking of Thai women to the UK and once more the accusation was made that UK visas were being made readily available to traffickers. The women were traced to a massage parlour in London's East End where they had been forced into prostitution and regularly beaten by Eastern European pimps. The girls were subsequently rescued, repatriated and returned to their villages. However, to get back to my original post, a month after my partner's application was refused, I returned to Thailand and called the embassy requesting an interview so that we could go through the application, I could convince them that this was a genuine application and seek their guidance on how to make a successful application in the future. They refused to see me. I understand that that after the TV programme was shown, enquiries were made as to what had been happening at the embassy but when I checked, I was informed that nobody had lost their jobs or had been reprimanded. At times like this, I feel ashamed to be British.

    • Anonymous commented : I've been reading through all this and I think the Embassy(british)does assume too much, but i live in Krabi, and return to London for 4 months during low season every year, and my GF now wife comes with me on a visit visa for the last 3 years with no problem, I don't even have to go to the Embassy to get the visa they send it all through the post to me in Krabi. My wife also comes from the area(south Thailand) this helps i think as she hasn't traveled 1000 K to work in a Bar like a lot of these applicants have done, also i think because i was already living in Thailand for over a year before even meeting my Wife and i could prove i was living there helps and the fact that we almost the same age,(i'm 30 she's 25)but not quite, helps also as there are a lot of applicants that are in there 20's and there BF's are in there late 40's to 60's and they only come to Thailand for a 2 week hoilday and meet a girl and really think that they can trust her and take her into the UK where they probably would Piss off with a younger bloke given half the chance, but there again not all of them would. So you can understand the way the Embassy is thinking and because of this theres a lot of discrimination, but a lot of applicants are older than the Gf's by quite a bit.

    Does thai society accept intermarriages?

    By Anonymous, Created on: 19/09/2003, Last updated on: 09/05/2006

    » The thai men that are undesirable are usually uneducated ones who try to get through life by being sleazy. This is why alot of thai women are turned off by marrying a thai man. Typical thai males are fairly unambitious, narrow-minded, and judgemental. I think that its the society that is teaching...

    • Anonymous commented : How about mentioning the responsible ones -some educated and as well as not so ones , Chad? Or you just don't know of any? Or you just don't speak Thai?! I've lived and am still iving abroad most of my life. And I've never come across any lazy Thais, be they men or women. So generalisation is a form of racism. And maybe you should open your mind a little. During my visits in Thailand, I've come across many lazy, aggressive and low class type Farangs that I never knew of over here. I spend my life dodging confrontational Farangs, be they English - who love a good fight on Saturday nights, agonising types as well as gentle but snobbish Frenchmen and nuerotic Americans and these bullying Russians who suffer from superiority complex in Thailand that can't speak English properly, let alone Thai, because they think they're too good to do so. Learn Thai properly, and you will have better understanding of the culture of the land you are living in. Imagine that the other way around? There was a time when I was growing up in, 'Krungthep', I knew of many Farangs who wouldn't eat any Thai food except, 'Khao phatd'. Now the English won't even look back on their inferior cuisine and only serve Thai food in pubs all over London. I wish you good luck with your endeavours, if you have any. My regards.
