farangthai

Thai women have that wonderful smile which is unique in the world. Their skin is as smooth as silk. By nature they have beautifull and shiny black hair (lately, some city girls want to look "western" and color their hair, unfortunately). Also, Thai women are very much caring about those they love. They all can be so "terribly" nice, so that farangs will feel it rather difficult to refuse her anything. All this is not just a stereotyped idea, it's true. So, why not chosing such a wonderful woman as your life companion? However, you know well yourself that this alone is no guarantee for a happy Farang-Thai relationship. True love implicits hard work of both partners to learn to communicate, compromise, comprehend, respect and accept each other.

Talking about accepting each other, you should be aware of certain characteristics common to most Thai women. Below are some eight points which you should read very carefully. Be very honest and ask yourself - rather twice than just once - whether you can really accept and live with these very special characteristics before making a final and far reaching decision. If you are in doubt, and if this is possible, it is best to first spend a longer period with her unmarried; when we say "with her" we don't mean the holidays in Thailand, nor the three or four weeks you have invited her to come over and stay with you in your country. We mean the real and sometimes hard day-to-day life over several months or longer. Now read on and sit back after every point, think and reconsider!

1. Be prepared to have to financially support your wife's family back home. She will ask you to give her some money to be regularly transferred home. If you do not agree it is likely that she will use some of the housekeeping allowance you give her in order to fulfill her duty to support her family back home, and you will initially not know it. After some time she might ask you for more money as she will be claiming that what you give her is not enough for the housekeeping. At this point you will know why.

2. Be aware that your wife might not have married you because she loves you. In fact she migtht not love you at all; she might just like you because you are a nice and "rich" guy. The major reason for her getting married to you might just be to have someone taking care of her (and her family) so that she (and those back home) can lead a better life. She will, however, never admit that and always tell you that she really loves you.

3. If your wife has sisters and/or brothers, she will sooner or later ask you to invite them to come and visit her. Clearly, this will be at your expenses. After some years, she might even try to convince you that her sister or brother should come here for good, so that they also can benefit from a better life. This is particularly true if she has children back home. In any case, be prepared to host one or more additional family member(s) in your house for several weeks/months or even longer.

4. Be aware that your wife will spend most of her free time chatting and cooking with other Thai women living in your area, and that after some time one or more of these women will become her "best friend" and will know everything about you. Your wife will also complain to them about you if there are some issues which she feels are a worry for her. She will also not refrain to disclose also rather intimate matters about you.
