What challenges do expats face when bringing their Thai girlfriends back to the USA?

Cris ******

Right…. So a Thai girl saying oh darling I love you I virgin you only man for me while she has 4 other poor lonely farang boyfriends isn’t a scam… so your ok with that. But when a farang tried to provide and care for a girl. And “gets taken to the cleaners” it’s ok. Well good luck with your delusional mind set.

@Bonnie ********

that’s not what I’m saying. At all. I’m married to a Thai lady and she’s amazing. But you hear all these “horror” stories of farangs getting scammed by Thai girls. When in reality if they thought for a second it wouldn’t happen.

Ya $3000 in the US is barely making it. But hard to understand but if it’s a girlfriend don’t bother. So many farangs get scammed and honestly most of the time it’s their fault.

Is it normal to get questioned at Thai immigration after multiple tourist visa entries?

Cris ******

@Reidar *********

well the US ain’t doing much better I choose this system every time. They just need some sort of longer stay visa for not just retirees. Can do same requirements just no age limit. What does it matter if I’m 50 or 25 as long as I have the money and insurance etc.

In his hin there’s insurance and it’s $190 a month. My older friend has it and he is very very high risk. And they cover everything no co pay. Don’t think you did enough research.
