Because i&#039;m so young she thinks that i dont know the value off money, Before she was working in a bar and did the full monty practacly on a daily base , no school or job for her so now her grandmother(isaan) wants me to pay her a 300000 THB sin sod, i realy love the girl but the last 2 days made me realize that the last 9 months where her way to make me crazy enough to pay, unlucky for her that this young boy has more brains what you need to have when your living 10000 km from home on your 21

		<description>Well done Dennis,

You&#039;ve just about hit the nail on the head.

I am not an uneducated man though I must be stupid.

I have lived in slums in England and bummed around all over the place, I have lived with Issan construction workers for over 2 years in a tin hut (200Baht per mth), on top of a hill with no elcectricity with a well supply for water downhill about 400 mts away for about 2 years again and in the slums of Klong toey etc...

Previously have also lived in a slum in West London before coming to Thailand and (no disrepect most of my best friends are Thai) I know the average Thai man would not last 10 muniutes there.

PS I&#039;ve been here for 20 yrs, how old is Fon I wonder, I think it&#039;s about time he took a good look at the the world outside of Thailand.</description>

		<description>IT is quite possible that the farang who wanted to &quot;purchase&quot; his wife, got the wrong ideas from the &#039;company&#039; he keeps ! 

Are we talking only about (older) farangs who fall for the poorer, uneducated Thai women (mostly those who work in the entertainment / hospitality industry or as salesgirls) 

If it is so, then it is possible that such poor Thai expect more money from farangs and it would be true even in other countries, not just Thailand.

It is unreasonable to generalize that all Thai are lazy or greedy ...</description>

		<description>I love to read comment on Sin Sod and money in Thai / Farang relationships. The word &quot; money&quot; is always the devil in these sometimes great loving “ yes loving” relationships.
I have not paid Sin Sod and hate the thought of it, even though i understand it, why because it will be waisted on nose jobs and not put to any real use.
The comprehension of a poor Farang is very hard for a Thai to understand. 
Fact: a bigger percentage of Thai own their own houses than in my country England.
This does not make them rich but it takes the pressure out of life, being a Farang from England with a Thai girl friend of 3 years, with 3 brothers and 2 sisters who thought all their money troubles were over when we met, they were so wrong I have tried to “help” them “help” themselves without giving them money?????  How can this be???  Not give money?  I advised them how they could work and make money, work? yes they work in their rice fields with little or no return. But all other work stops when the rice planting and harvest time starts and they are told they will get 10baht per kilo, when they come to sell it to the local “ rich” dealer they are given 4 bath per kilo cos it of “ poor quality “  and they end up with a total of about 10,000 per year. But they have always done this and cannot see a way out and improve their income, even with my help! So now I have stopped trying to help, so they are all in the hands of the local money lenders paying 120% per year on their loans, I cannot risk loaning them money myself at no interest, because their will take it as a gift not a loan, and never pay anything back cos I rich Farang.    
  I can see the main difference between the poor Thai and the rich Farang one is innovation and there are so many more deference’s in our lives.  In England I had to pay out over £200 every week,  rates/standard payments like electric, gas, water, telephone and mortgage  before i could eat.  Here I have to pay out 150 baht “ electric only “ per week just to live, all other payments are life or  luxuries  choices.
I made my own water filter out  of  3 ong’s “ big water jugs” with stones and sand cost about 800 baht to the amazement of the locals who drink rain or rancid ground water and have done for hundreds of years. But I am a lucky farang who can rewire,re-plumb, build and repair almost anything in everyday life, because we had to do in farangland  cos the trades men wanted £150 to £250 a day.  I’m  lucky cos like most retired Farang in Thailand, I worked hard for a minimum of 10 hours a day for 40+ years which has made me “lucky” I paid a private pension for the last 20 years. I retired at 55 years old and came to Thailand because i could not live a good life in my own country on my income and I was over the hill and told to slow down and go to the places only old men go. Well I’m here because I’m “ lucky”  not rich, and like most Farang cannot sit and watch the world go by but push it along, i can’t help it, it’s my culture and the majorly Thai have theirs, they could be as lucky as me if they tried.</description>

		<description>Fon, how about something on the endless demands for &quot;naamjai&quot;. With the families of so many Thai women, there is an eternal list of financial needs (the buffalo has died, the roof leaks, there is an insurance premium on the truck, I made a promise o my grandfather, etc etc) and they turn inevitably to the farang spouse. As soon as he turns down a single request, no matter how unreasonable, the family is up in arms accusing him of being &quot;Khii niao&quot; and expressing pity for the poor wife of such a selfish brute.

I gave half of my salary away to my wife&#039;s family, and wound up far worse off than before I went to Thailand. Still, they told my wife that she should divorce me because I was so stingy. Go figure!</description>
