@Todd ********

the smarter man owns property in his home country and rents in Thai.

@Eric ******

it's a risky game. Land owner can dog you anytime he wants and you will not win. Same for company with Thai partners.

As for selling, it's very hard.

Just rent.

@Kerry ******

they all are, hence buying the extra luggage for your flights is generally cheaper.

Best is to buy extra kgs on the flight, generally cheaper then dhl and the alternatives without any Thai import fees.

@Ruth ******

completely agree with you, but what makes them think this is how it is? Again we return to the stereotypes.

Blame the thais brother for this outlook for foreigners. They must look within to remove these stereotypes.

End of the day I can count more friends and people I have met that have had a bad experience with Thai women and the constant milking for money, sick family( grand ma is the common one) buffalo always gets them good also. Then I can count who have a successful long term relationship where they are not looked at as atms.

They do not come to our country and we do this to them. End of brother. Yes some are abit over the top and crude but it's just the vast reality of Thailand.

@Mark **********

the arrogance doesn't allow them to realise this.

@Jim *******

it's all of the western countries brother :( we are regressing while the emerging countries are getting better.

@Eddie *****

makes no sense.

@Pat ******

I barely showed any financial ties.

Just asked for 3 months and they gave 12 months multi entry.

I think they are biased based on who you are and your financial level in aus. Didn't seem like any issues getting mine compared to friends in the UK and USA.
