This comical video from the 80’s should be a required training manual for guys even considering bringing chicks back to a 1st world country! Skip to the 2 minute mark:
By bringing an unknown person or visa agent, is there risk of the person stealing your money later by putting himself in your account in Thai without knowing?
Amazing how the foreigners get fleeced paying a fortune for an ex bar girl with two kids and tattoos. Most are clueless. Nothing against the women who are sweet and just have it tough, but you are right. Thai men don't want those womenso they seek and find foreign men and say "Thai man no good!"
Just remember. No Thai man in history paid sin sot or dowry for a bar girl, woman with kids, or uneducated farm girl.( Even though they are sweet hearts!) Why should you? Only foreigners do this!
