You're not correct. I'm single.

Why Thai girls hates farang ?

From my experience in Thailand with ladies and friends i know here , problem
is always the same : they don't have enough money. My ex Thai girlfriend from Isaan
had income 6k - 10k per month . Her and hers poor family expected from me up to 10 million baht. :) :) :)
as a investment from me for them in the village . No BS. Of course I had to say good bye to her ,
and I understand why she always not happy with me. :(

In my opinion some expats felt like Thai girls are cheap house maid that you can somewhat trust?

I say this, Love is just so overrated. Obedience, orderly conduct, and a friendly manner is so much more than just love. I Guess a lot of expats does not really know how to hold on to, let alone treat a lady in all their earnest. Theres always two parts of a relationship and one cannot sustain without the other.

Here too, communication is key. I clearly believe there is a lot of confusion going on between all the drinks, smokes, and beers. It is easy to fall out of favour. But it is more difficult to sustain a good relationship, and to keep it that way. Thats why i always said as soon as things start to sour you should start talking, and understanding, exactly as to what is the nature of your relationship problems. In this way you will come to understand your Thai girl, and strengthen the bond between you.

Thanks for your opinion. But considering all of his starting points are presumptuous, with some odd phrases thrown in, such as 'love being overrated' and 'obedience', there seems to be an assumption that the farang is too addled with booze and smoking to notice his 'Thai girl' and that assuming there is an issue (what?), that having a chat with her, will cure all, I'm stick with my stated view on his comments.

Hmmm, having re-read my answer, I'll give myself 7/10 for gobbledygook as well! :D

The more you hang with your significant other, the more you will realize what is keeping you together.

[quote="sidthesloth"]For an extreme example, see this post
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31890

But in real life I see it so often. Sad looking old guy walking down the street or around the food court with a grumpy frumpy thai lady following 5 metres behind. How can these people be happy together.

:lach: Sounds like Hull market - except the grumpy frumpy English lady is in front of the sad old geezer. :naughty:
