TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the perceived benefits for Thai women marrying British men, emphasizing that many view financial gain as a primary motive. However, some argue for emotional aspects such as love, respect, and cultural exchange. Opinions diverge on the necessity of language skills and commitment, with some comments reflecting a belief that financial stability and the chance for a better life are major reasons for such marriages. The conversation also touches on social dynamics, with contrasting views on the motivations of both Thai women and Western men.

What is the point of asking a question about marrying a Thai woman in Thailand and then add "excluding money"? The benefit for a Thai woman is all about money because it brings security and social status. No point asking the question if you exclude money from the answer.

To marry in the UK would require a fiance visa, which is expensive, and might not be granted.

Bill - not sure how long it has been since you have been to the U.S.. She can come through Mexico and walk right in and get amazing benefits, compliments of our left wing, useless government. She'll also get a cash card with 350 dollars a week deposited onto it, free medical care, a free place to live, almost immediate Citizenship so she can vote Democrat for President, a instant work permit (if she wants to work), full rights of U.S. citizenship and much more. She can even change her identity to ANY sex, country of origin - everything about her can be changed legally and FREE! Kamala Harris will even arrange a sex change operation for her, compliments of the the U.S. taxpayers.

I'm married to a Thai , and it's been great 👍Don't listen to.all the negative because most of these guys went after the bargirls

My wife choose to be with a westerner because of abuse by Thai men in her past and found western men , for the most part , treated and respected her much better

As far as our relationship ,when she landed in Canada she started searching for employment and landed an amazing career even before she received a SIN number ( you need one to work here ) .

She hated the idea that I was supporting her so she asked me to drive her to the interview and she was hired the same day and started working , she's making more than I am, which was totally unexpected and you can see how happy she is . She doesn't ask me for money at all , she's self sufficient

We were actually going to move back to Thailand this winter but she wants to further her new career and has applied to go back to school and get a higher certification so she made even more money 💰

This may not be the norm for most but so far I have zero complaints and it's good to see how successful she has been and it's only going to get better as her income climbs after finishing her upgrades..she'll be pushing 6 figures

If we ever divorced I could go after her for support 😆 as she will be making alot more than me in the future ... jk

Ivan *********
None she just wants money nothing else. If she wants to live in another country then she wants a passport visa and money .
Jason **********
Lots of reasons. Maybe she's got darker skin, is slightly over weight, or has kids from a previous relationship or has aged into her mid 30s. These things would make her less desirable to a thai man, but lots of foreigners don't care. Some thai women like foreigners for the hopes of a mixed child because they find colored eyes etc beautiful. Some thai women like that foreigners plan for the future more and will help push them to be independent. I could go on and on, but in the end besides money it's some cultural difference that they find appealing and are open to.

******The name****!!!

it seems that when they come a certain age if they have not married then its looked on as a bad thing, that no one would want them! But it'd be very very rare to find a lady who wants to marry just for the love and no financial game.... In fact I got married this year to my wife who knew after my accident my job was a semi retiring role that did not pay a lot she stopped showing love as in June this year with the stress and trying to get her here I had a severe heart attack, after laying money out two times already And she failed again I couldn't send her money as not making any just SSP she doesn't even put kisses on her messages anymore, offered me my freedom back as she put it (divorce ) our friends tell me they think she thought I was hiding the fact that I had no money and when she married me I was obliged to give it to her & the family when she realised I don't after sending her my company letter saying that I'm not getting a wage it all changed so if you are considering getting married, I hope you realise that she truly loves you, and proves it before you commit yourself, I am sure I read there is some nice thai ladies who do support their husbands on here but I think they are very rare to find

If no then definitely he will bring her out from her certain situations because mostly foreigners can not / don’t want to stay in very local area …..

Likewise without love , everything will relate more or less / direct / indirect

to money / better life ….

In a country where many foreigners are here to have sex with a lot of different Thai women, being married shows your commitment to her (and her family).
Uwe ****
Why would anyone marry a Thai person who is non-Thai? Thailand has the highest cheating culture in the world... their culture is a facade of nice people... when you get close to them you realize they really don't care... we know that as farangs don't we?
Mdl *****
Stuart ***********
@Uwe ***
I did not say anything about marrying a person that is non-Thai.

I think if farang meet Thai people that are only interested in money, then yes I agree they will not care, but are you seriously saying every single person in Thailand can't be trusted.

There will be a lot of people that agree with you here (they probably live in Pattaya or Patong), but I don't.

People usually marry because they love each other. Doesn’t matter where.

If marrying just for money then it’s doomed from the start.

Me and my partner were talking about doing it eventually even tho she knows how skint I am lmao.

Not all relationships are for personal gain.

well, that’s just bs.

@Ruth ******
then what’s it for then? Enlighten us.
Ruth *******
@Leo *********
sorry. I actually replied to Hanzala. I didn’t notice that fb tagged you. I was saying his comment (that marriages for love result in the most divorces) was bs. I’m actually in agreement with you.
Hanzala ***
@Ruth ******
yeah but you have Pink hair,
Ruth *******
@Hanzala **
Do you know how many times a week someone comments on my hair? You’re not particularly original. Why would you think I would care what someone who looks like you thinks of my hair? For that matter, I honestly don’t care what anyone thinks. That’s kind of the point. If you talk to anyone with unnatural colors, you’ll find that all of them color their hair for themselves, not to please anyone else.

Oh, and just for the record, my hair is purple. Learn your colors.
Hanzala ***
@Ruth ******
Honestly, it seems like people who dye their hair these unnatural colors are trying too hard to stand out, because they're unhappy with something about themselves. It is a way to mask insecurity rather than true self-expression. Instead of dealing with those issues, they're using bright colors to distract or deflect attention from what’s really going on inside. I genuinely hope that people who go to such extremes can find peace and confidence without needing such drastic measures. No way in hell is it more attractive in any way possible, the women who tell you are just lying to you, bec that's what women do to other women, they'll tell the nasty fat woman who nobody wants that she looks good, pathetic.

So i feel sorry for you and hope you get the help you need, life is hard for everyone,

But you have no idea about the marriage, look at statistics,

Marriages based on exchange of value are always more successful, bs Hollywood movie induced love marriages are always unsuccessful. You obviously wouldn't know what I'm talking about, don't start a debate with me, unless you are well informed, i will absolutely destroy whatever self-esteem you may have left,

Wish you goodluck, hope you get the help you need Ruth
Bill ********
Ruth *******
@Hanzala **
hair color is no more extreme than clothing. 🤣🤣🤣

you have no idea what motivates another. Meanwhile, you need a woman to be financially dependent upon you in order for her to stay with you. That’s why the change in culture terrifies you so much. A woman would not be happy with you simply for who you are, so you need to keep women down in order for you to keep power over them. Pathetic.
Hanzala ***
@Ruth ******
lmao are you trying to attack Islam, what in the world are you even talking about,

I never have a woman to be dependent on me financially.

Really just Leave it Ruth i don't want to hurt your feelings, seriously, there are just too many things i could say about you, too many.

Hope you get the help, Love you (As a human), stay safe. 😅

Language skills, cultural exchange

Each marriage is unique, and the specific benefits can vary greatly depending on the individuals involved and their circumstances.
Yhadnapa ***************
@Phirom ******
absolutely disagree on the language skills. i know someone who’s been married to a british dude for about 20 years, she didn’t learn english, her english is horrible while he learns thai and speaks thai now lol
Mdl *****
@Yhadnapa **************
yeah, it's just money , or a stepping stone to someone with more money
Phirom *******
@Yhadnapa **************
It's understandable to see this situation in two different lights. On one hand, it seems like she might have chosen not to prioritize learning English, which could be seen as missing out on a valuable opportunity to connect more deeply with her husband's culture. On the other hand, it's commendable that he has taken the initiative to learn Thai, which demonstrates his commitment to understanding and engaging with her world. Language learning can be challenging, and everyone approaches it differently based on their motivations and circumstances
Yhadnapa ***************
@Phirom ******
we do see things in different light, you’re seeing it in a positive way, and i’m seeing this in a negative way😂😂😂

so, she would go to UK and live off of the guy?

If he's making 60k euro a year now, they would be poor. That same 60k a year in Thailand is living a great life.

yes. and that’s what i said. if the man is making the money, paying the taxes, what’s the problem here?

My girlfriend seems to be really happy with Me. We have no intention of moving to the USA. I told her there's less than a 1% chance of that happening. We live in a big beautiful house, and have a great life. If in America or UK, we would live in a smaller house, higher crime rates, shittier weather, less quality of life. Worse Healthcare. Horrible education system. I moved my kids here. Put them in an international school last year. They now speak 3 languages. And love life here.

guess you don't understand the cost of living there? And whether he pays the taxes or she does, what's the difference? Still don't have that money right?

Crime is out of control. Drugs are out of control. Inflation is out of control. If that's a better life for you. I guess we have different views.

We’re planning on moving to Australia in the next few months. After living here for two years, to be honest Australia is better.

Quality of life is higher, environment is better, better urban planning, healthcare is better, more career prospects, more multicultural and community. I can also open a business and earn citizenship.

Other than being lazy and everything being cheap. There’s not exactly anything to achieve in Thailand for the long term as people in our late twenties.

the problem is, Thai people think all farangs are rich, and they are not!! they have seen the "two week millionaires" in places like Pattaya, throwing money everywhere like confetti, so they think they live like that everyday in their home country, when in fact they have been working long hours and saving up money for months, to go on that blow out holiday, or they see some rich older fella move to Thailand, that has worked all his life, and has got his life saving, and also sold his house and car, and probably spent 25 years paying off his house, also got good pensions coming in every month, he has turned up in Thailand and buys a brand car, and builds his Thai wife a ฿4 million baht house, not everyone can do that, there are thousands of people live on the streets in the UK, most Thai people wouldn't even know that.

@Bill *******
no. Republican ran state. Alaska. But it's everywhere. So..... it's everywhere. There's no denying it.
Bill ********
@James ***********
Alaska has a bunch of drunks who imbibe all winter long. Plus they get government hand-outs from all the oil. Moreover, the big mosquitoes bite everyone, so they all have brain disorders. LOL!!!
James ************
@Bill *******
awe. You sound like you know everything. Good for you. I'll enjoy the beautiful land of smiles. You enjoy Kansas lmao. 😉

By the way, alaskans get like 800-2000 a year. Barely pocket change. It's not government hand outs. It's part of the profit off the states oil. You sound like such a charming fellow lol.
Bill ********
@James ***********
LOL, I am in Thailand now for 2 weeks, with 5 more weeks to go.

not automatic. Still have to jump through hoops, meet Financial requirements, pass English tests etc etc. I think it takes at least 5 years to qualify for UK citizenship
Ellen *************
@Matt ********
oooh. I think a few of us, including the person you were responding to here, understood the post to say that you intended to be in and stay in Thailand. Anyway, viva love.

what a weird flex… And for a woman to make…

Americans are made up of lots of different races and nationalities. You could never generalise like that about Americans. You can say you personally had loads of big cok in your time. But that’s your story to tell.
