What the reason do you choose her to be your wife? does she look hot? or what do you talk or discuss with each other after living together?)". Often emotionally immature or naive farang men and women are lured into these relationships, by the Thai girl or boyfriend, her/ his family and friends : without realising the trap which is being laid for them. The trap lies in Thailand's anti-foreigner laws. 2) "They express their love (or lust) improperly in the public for example Big Farang guy touched his dark hot Thai g/f in the BTS.". Now having returned to live in a Western country again, I am shocked by these public displays of affection - lust even. But after living long time in Thailand, I'm gradually realising I forgot this sort of behaviour is quite acceptable as normal in Western culture !!!!

Anonymous commented : Dear thai lady, I can swear that not all farang are big and fat. I am only 1,64 m and weight just 62 kilos, quite small by ‘‘farang standards’’ as you can see. Regarding manners and behavior, I can also assure you that I prefer to touch my girl friend’s BTS (What ever that means) in private. I just noticed that thai ladies feel uncomfortable showing affection in public. Concerning the color of the skin, I detect that you don’t exactly like the dark looking ladies. I wonder why? Well dear thai lady, I love then dark. I wouldn’t change a brown looking lady for a pale one. But that’s a matter of likes, of course. Is Thailand the land of freedom where farang do things they wouldn’t dear at their own countries? Think twice. Here in old and corrupted Europe you would see things that would really shock you. Just here in my own town, at the ordinary daily paper you can read hundreds of adverts from ladies and boys offering their services and explicitly telling what they are best at. (Please Bangkok Post don’t get any ideas) Talking about prostitution? Russians, Chinese, Brazilians, Rumanians, Bulgarians, Filipinos, Colombians, and so and so. All in big quantities, any price any time anywhere. And that’s only just part of it. For reasons of space I prefer not to carry on. For good or for bad no countries are isolated anymore. We live in 2008, in a globalize world. The social maladies that afflict your country are not the making of the farang, is just the world that we live in. Thailand is not an island anymore and like it or not we all are in the same boat. Dear thai lady, what makes you so offended about farang with ‘‘hot dark thai girls’’? Anyway those girls in the words of your own country fellowmen are the ‘‘left over’’ that no thai men would want. So, why not to leave then in peace and give then a chance to better their lives. Best regards Juan

The price of the prized nine-rai plot to Central affiliate Tiang Chirathivat Real Estate Co was not disclosed but industry experts estimated it at three billion baht. Central edged Land & Houses Plc, the country's largest residential developer, in the contest to acquire the site. The company wants to turn the plot into a shopping area, serviced apartments or a hotel and entertainment anchor to complement its nearby Central Chidlom store. Intense competition in the retail business in Bangkok's central business district has driven Central to seek ways to build on its existing businesses, which are now constrained by limited space, according to industry analysts. Central executives declined to comment on the deal, but the British Embassy said yesterday it was the largest-ever property sale by the Foreign Office. The historic residence, the embassy and the "green character" of the compound would be preserved, it said. About 11 million (770 million baht) of the proceeds will fund redevelopment of the remainder of the compound, including new staff accommodation, recreational facilities, remodelling of the embassy offices and security work. The embassy said that the 32.3-rai compound, purchased in 1922, was larger than needed. It said the land sold was the most polluted and noisiest part of the compound, next to the six-lane Phloen Chit Road and the BTS skytrain. The War Memorial and statue of Queen Victoria would be moved to appropriate sites near the residence, officials said.
