Lol exactly! They are common but not really an incentive IMHO!

How would that boost the economy? I don’t think a tourist is staying for 10 years!

@Rae *****

yes exactly. That was my advice! Pretty pointless topic on this page though!

@Kent *******

and again genius I have two friends here who have quite good relationships with girls that they met in the bar. One’s been married for over 25 years but he bought the farm with the family and he’s perfectly happy to do it. It was a win-win so again, putting down Thai girls in the bar cynic makes you look ?

@Kent *******

OK genius, here’s your wisdom again, many of us have met girls online and the girls that didn’t work in bars, now are you gonna keep trying to belittle us because we did not find one in a million when you did, is it fun for you to put down other people, calling them cynics!

@Kent *******

it was very hard for her to leave, but the pressure was enormous again you don’t know what you’re talking about the split up took two years! I only said at the end that’s the reason she left, in this case and not your wife’s case the family is indigent, and they want to buy the land around the farm. They have to put rubber trees on. They have a motive behind her and push her. For all I know your wife’s whole family could be dead. She doesn’t have any land here. She doesn’t have any reason to come back. You’re not being forthcoming on the details and just chalking it up to you’re such a great guy! And again it goes to my point if you’re happy and settled in America, what are you doing on a Thai visa site don’t you have anything better to do? We’re all here cause we’re trying to figure out ways to stay legally. It sounds like you got paradise. Why are you joining in this fray Ridiculous

@Kent *******

and you know the drill to even attempt to get a woman to the UK take six years but you’re right it’s up to the party who wants to do it I’m just telling you what I’ve been through and how many have been through. I stayed here and as soon as tough times came, it was adios! The funny thing is now that the next guy’s train she got on fell on hard times and I’m doing fine. Guess who wants to come back?

@Kent *******

I’m talking about if you stay in this country! I think maybe about 15 or 20% actually want to leave and I’ve heard the same thing as you they want to work at something! I’m curious also why are you on a Thai Visa site when you’re living in the states?

71 and 41 I would say one and done! 30 years is not necessarily the point at all, it is the fact you don't understand - the culture is what everyone here is trying to tell you . . . If you are from the UK it is understood by that reason alone that you are the super star . . . Oh you will find out, it's not a horror story but if your support ever has to be cut off for whatever in life happens, so will the relationship and that's the fact you cannot dispute!

Marriage is not like it is most likely from where you’re coming from in terms of owning real estate. You should look into the laws before you make any moves. There are plenty of people here that will enlighten you with their horror stories. I choose to say once you look at the law, you’ll make the right decision and go with your gut. It’s usually the first decision that’s right in life. I suggest you keep on that path!
