just a few questions. am the one that got screwed, thanks for making me realise.

[AmyV]

because i would really like to meet a thai girlfriend, how best to approach it.
i have fallen for there friendly attitudes and I don't think i won't a western women after meeting these lovely people.

1. if a thai swears on buddha does that mean anything at all?

2. where would the best place to meet a thai girl, that's not just after your money?

3. does meeting a family mean anything?

4. what is the decent thing to do when staying with their family, what is expected of you?

5. so you say if they really wont to be with you shouldn't have to give any money at all?

6. should i even bother trying to get a thai girl friend if i can't get them out of the country quickly? I believe it takes a 2 year relationship to able to get a thai into Australia.

i know i obviously have a lot of growing up to do but for future reference it what be helpful.

what do you want from me? i dont have to justifie my life or my relationship to you. is there anyway i can get these threads deleted. i cannot be bothered aruguing anymore.

 

[arman]

a big deal for me too . . . thanks for the quote; would add that the face things goes both ways, i'm not doing this trip lightly and have a lot of friends' support in trying to understand the way things go here.

And re my earlier post, did a Google and the quote I was looking for (re Scott in Antarctic) was:
Captain Lawrence Edward Grace Oates was an English Antarctic explorer. Oates is known for his honorable suicide when, aware his ill-health was compromising his companions' lives, he told them "I am just going outside and may be some time" before walking out into a blizzard.
Walking outside the baan in Sa Kaeo may not have the same historical impact!

depends what her other sponsors are sending her... but I'd say more than enough...

For all the above read some of the 100's of threads on the forum particularly the relationship threads.

 

[you will never know]

You have asked us a load of questions... you must anticipate that all answers may not be to your liking?

Some answers you will like... some you won't.

A lot of the BMs here have vastly more experience with Thailand and Thai people than you do and are trying to help you to avoid the mistakes a lot of people make... just relax, listen and make use of the answers you are given... don't see it as an argument...

 

[chris w]

Might be useful putting this in the newbie thread...

 

[Roadrunnermike]

thanks i think that it's all great advice.

 

[chrissyaquarius1979]

been no $ involved here (555 yet!) and she even stayed up with me watching the All Blacks v France till 4.30am. Is that commitment or what?
Just wish she wouldn't laugh so much at the mauls - simply thinks they are 'funny' with men piling in on top of each other. And she could be right.

Hold up this guy has already posted that he has a Thai girlfriend he met her and spent a whole week with her on his last trip and now sponsers her at 16k a month with a plan to build her a house, whats going on different bloke same sign on name??? or is he looking for another girlfriend already?

 

[SPLATT]

3 threads going at the moment all different

You already replied in the threat of killing herself thread lol

 

[Capn Jack]

alright i'll answer your questions, has a baby to feed, no thai boyfriend to support her.
debts to pay for having a child no way to pay them hence bar was her only choice. 6000 baht does not cut it when your mums looking after baby you basically have no house to life in. she is working a day job now.

 

[...Just Me :)]

Just my advice.
:wai:

 

[One More Year Nick! (2)]

Thats proper committment that is... and I think you should teach her the Haka...

 

[rhodecol]

That is plenty. I sent 16000K per month to support my girl's two daughter's (16&11), her mother and her sister and her daughter when I bought her to Aus. That is 5 females under one roof with normal checkbin expenses.

They survived.

 

[Reslee]

I think its a bit light.. 25k more appropriate for a girl with a kid you just met for a few days.

 

[Cyber Ninja]

What debts to pay? its free to have a baby and the cost to feed a baby is probably substantially less than 500 baht month.

She's getting 22,000 Baht a month now. That's more than an accountant and about the same as a Bank Manager. If she's living in the village it's very hard to spend anywhere near that much money, gambling is quite a big problem for many sponsored girls.

No ones having a go, we are helping you to be armed with the correct information, It's not a 'normal' situation (falling in love with a prostitute) by Western standards so it helps if you have a better grasp of what it's like out here.

 

[chipper35_1999]

You must not have a baby. 5555

 

[Bride & Mommy to Be ?]

Does it really take two years to get a TG into Australia? Other BMs have brought their TG in after a couple of months, but that may be just on a tourist visa.
Does anyone know more about the process for a TG to move to Australia long term? Eg, eligibility criteria, time to process, etc?

 

[LadySupport]

But she's nineteen Lil, have you factored that in? cos I'm kind of thinking a tad more for being under 20??
