Why didn't the marriages with your 3 wives last? Do the problems lie with you or them?

Lying with them is always the best bit.

I prefer no wife. BUt I have a GF for 18 years and a  daughter with her. For sometime when my daughter was born, my GF was into marriage too much. I asked her if she wanted to go to the USA and live there and she said no. I asked her what benefits you would get if I marry her in Thailand? She could not give me a convinving answer.  Now she does not really care. I bought her a new house in a gated community, a new car last year after ten years with her old  vios, and she has access to my 7 million BHT in banks. I may also buy a condo for me to live in her name. Why she needs to marry me .

I remember being regularly on Soc.culture.thailand back in the late '90's..... My initial comment had nothing to do with women, it was about the entire region has 'bad' air for the winter months.  There is a different kind of male in Chiengmai today....it seems. Many are interested in receiving a cheap foot massage or where the best kiffer drink which can be found. There was a time, when we had to be smart/tough in Chiengmai....and far smarter/ tougher in the backwoods. Potential death was always present and we accepted that....now you guys seem to want your favourite yogurt.  There are a few of you who understand me. It was once dangerous and bloody fun....and we made friends with Thai males. Thai males were our introduction to the culture....not the latest trollop at the bar. 

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be....LOL

Based on his post I would make an educated guess that the problem lies with him.

Correct

I like Thailand and Thai folk.

So many of the problems are caused by Frangs.

The ones who have broken the laws on Finance require to live here and the ones who have run away leaving unpaid bills with the Medical authorities.

We foreigners chose to live in Thailand and so many of our kind have queered the system for those of us who play the game.

Thailand their country and they make the rules, if we want to play then we obey if not GO please GO and stop spoiling our quiet peaceful life.

Are you sure they weren't just a few Burma boys visiting for work.....Ok....there is a startling cuteness factor in considering the difference

Could be a valid point, but 13 yrs with the first one, 17 years the the next, and 7 with the last. They tend to stay awhile....but, change is good. Based on your response, I would suppose you have been shackled to the same one for a very long time and now live as brother and sister. Not uncommon.

Yes.

Go to a country and shop for a wife based on the cost and available Visa...

Wow.

Has to be some of the dumbest and focused cheap reasons I have ever heard.

Excuse me....I have had enough wives (3 long term marriages) . My point was why stay in a place where the air is putrid for 5 months a year and the Chinese virus is creeping south ?  My point was where in SE Asia was worthwhile to go ? I was in Hanoi in 1989....not quite the same as today. I have no wife now and want no wife tomorrow. I have been around too long. My point was....where to go ?

If you have a Thai wife she cannot live in Cambodia or Vietnam for long. My point was where are the options for the

unencumbered?  Yes, I lived in Indonesia for a year , Myanmar for 6 months and Malaysia many times. I do not know where these posters become obsessed with women. Women are women....eventually you learn that White, Brown, Black....makes no difference.

My post was not engenius...as  there is no where left in SE Asia to live well, as there used to be.

IMO.... Married without wanting kids is like paying for a friend and headaches and sex that will definitely get old.... no way.  I would only marry someone to be the mother of my kid, and it would have to be a smart lady since a single parent is bad for any child.  Kids are expensive, but probably worth it.  Paying some random lady seems ridiculous.  If she has more money, that will be worse.  

 

Life is simple if you trust yourself.  Get educated, work, work smart, make money, save money, take control over your life, then add others.  If you don't want kids, just make more friends.

You are still that simple ? ...Almost, every man I know in Thailand pays his 'wife' an allowance. No money, no honey....;-)

My ex Thai wife of 17 years were business partners......the 'one pocket' is what we had. This gives a Thai woman power and chooses to be loyal, because we are in it together. That fat f%%k on the golph course simply pays his Pattaya whore to smile on command. Yes, 3 ex wives.....but 2 of the three call me every month to just keep connected. 

The point was, where to go, when Thailand is no longer sustainable for us White guys?  This has nothing to do with women.

Excuse me , when you have learned enough you will finally realize that White women, Asian women, Black women, Hispanic women ......they ain't different.

Everywhere in Asia looks better to me than a bedsit in Bolton.

Kids are expensive

Lots of people say that, but I've never found it to be the case.

I thought Indonesia gives 10-15 year visa after 2 years married... Sounds even better to me.

I would go to check out Indonesia and Vietnam if I was the OP, leave TH for what it is. Not worth it compared to those options.

Hi, I lived in Indonesia for several years, mostly in Surabaya and East Kalimantan. I liked the Java women and some of the Java men...as they were no threat.  However, the Bugis men on Sulawesia...if you are connected, or not, can be great allies....or deadly enemies. The word 'Boogey Man'  came from the first Dutch colonizers who could not conrol the Buguis......when they returned to Europe they would say to their chidren "be good or the Buguis will get you." Eventually that became bastardized from Buguis to Boogey.  The term running 'amok' is also from Indonesia. The Buguis are similar to some groups of Vietnamese. Small, but bloody tough.
