The point about the old boys is quite true, but if as many are widowers then i suppose its better to be out here having their last throws of spring than sitting in a damp flat in the UK.
Some Thai girls do of course look young for their age but there are just as many that show their age, just wait until they hit the late forties.
As for the divorce judgments in the UK or anywhere else for that matter the same applies here, we all know many farangs who have lost everything to their girlfriend or wife out here and thats without any court judgment.
The real truth is that women are women worldwide, you find good and bad in every nationality the art is in finding the right one.
