A friend of mine is correspoding with a Thai lady who lives in Northern Thailand. Can anybody share their stories on marriage to a Thai lady, is it true what I have read, a Thai is not truly happy unless in Thailand? In general are Thai ladies "gold diggers" like most North american ladies or are they happy with the person they are with and not how much they have. Any and all information is appreciated and even though my friend is not a regular on this forum he will be reading this post so please help him out, CV

CCVV,
My opinion.
1. Your friend should be clear if he is corresponding with that TG or maybe just with a translator/pimp. One of those guys offering TGs by correspondence and finally, when the guy hits LOS, she is "gone" with someone else and not available anymore....However, I may point out that if he hit the right TG he is damn lucky. She will love him foerever and will be damn loyal to her husband whoever he is and wherever she will stay.
2. If clear on Issue No.1, he can start reading all the posts wrote in this forum concerning "TGs living abroad". Several guys did post own/heard experiences of TGs that seldom adjust to live abroad. Although this was about bar girls mainly....I remember a quote like "....you can take the TG out of the bar but not the bar out of the girl...." A phrase that summarizes EVERYTHING!! Your friend can get a good idea on those approaches....He is not alone, many guys already have done something similar e.g. take a TG from the bar back to their places and in most cases it didn't work.
I think the conclusion was that the NON-bar TGs have more chances to adjust to a different environment cos of different reasons. Let me take a look on that thread....should be somewhere....see ya. Hope this helps.

Hi ccvvbb -
Although the 'net abounds with horror stories about Thai wives, it's nice to know that there are still happy marriages out there too. Even in a place as relatively remote as where I live, and where the winters are long and cold, there are a few Thai/farang couples who seem to live together quite happily; some I've heard about or met have been married for over ten years. I guess you take your chances and hope for the best...
Incidentally, there are many other Asians up here - Chinese, Vietnamese, and lots of Filipinas as well.
I guess as long as they and/or their spouses are making money and are able to keep themselves warm  they're happy anywhere.
Cheers

I knew i would marry my wife 10 minutes after meeting her,it was as they say a bolt of lightning,we met in Hong Kong where she was working as a maid.(she is now an English teacher).
We have been together for 7 years now and every day gets better.
We also know of 5 other couples(4 in the U.K.and 1 in Australia),who are happy.
One of our single Thai girlfreinds has even gone back to Hong Kong to try and find a decent Man.
We live in Bangkok but have a farm in Loie which we intend to live on one day.
Its true to say we have invested a lot of money on the farm,but the returns can be huge if you get it right.
Rami im not sure if you were joking?
My job is in music,and over the years i have had women from all parts of the world,and in my opinion nothing compares to the genuine love of a Thai lady.

Of course there is a lot of bitter truth behind the generalisations, but in the end it's always a case by case basis. He should be really clear and honest, with himself and her, on what he wants out of a relationship. If he expects her to move to LOF/Farangland then he's got to understand that she may be getting a lot but she's also given up a lot. Culture shock works both ways and is fairly inevitable for everyone. The more he can do to lessen that for her the more likely that she'll be happy. For example, are there other Thais in his area that she can turn to when she gets homesick? Are they the kind of people he'd want his wife to associate with? Can she get any of the foods she's used to? Watch TV and understand it? What is she going to do while he's off at work all day? Will his circle of friends accept her? Will they think he's married a prostitute (whether she ever worked as one or not)? How different is the weather? What will they talk about? What can they do together that'll keep their marriage vibrant?
A lot of these are questions for any marriage. It's a marriage, in the end, and they'll face the same difficulties as any marriage plus she'll have to deal with a new culture in the bargain.

rami.
i think you are wrong in saying that about thai girls.
not just thai girls,but getting married to any nationality is a risk.
so are american,australian,spanish girls any better?.
you may like to have fun with the girls,but would not marry one,ok,your choice.
but don't put them down as possible partners.
many people,like JIMMY D have found happiness.
if i had the chance,i would settle down with a certain girl.

My old next-door neighboir married a Thai girl and brough her over here. ("old" as in - I have moved house so he's not my neighbour anymore, he was only in his 40s so not old as in "age")... anywayyyyy, she is a lovely girl and they sure do seem to be very very happy together.... they have a child. I do think the first few years must have been quite tough on her as her English wasn't very good, let alone her Dutch.... but she did learn it. No phrase could be farther from the truth to describe this girl than "gold-digger"... that she most certainly was not!
I *think* they plan to return to Thailand one day (to live I mean)... but no way would I say they were unhappy here. More... well I'm sure a lot of us would *rather* live in Thailand but have a 100 reasons why we don't or cant.
I hope it works out for your friend CV.

In the outlying islands' corner of Hawaii where I live there's six couples I can think of that were put together via arrangements made by one of the local Thai rest. owners here. The guys all go to her and ask for it, mind you.
Two to Five years later, and they are all still together with no gold-digging, whining, or laziness evidenced by any. No regrets from any either, and the girls all seem to have adapted very well.
Maybe the fact that probably none of these girls were recruited out of the bar's had something to do with it. But the reputation they've earned here is one of loyalty and family above all else.
