Hi All I agree with Wanderlust's opinions and it seems to reinforce what some of us have said, except to reiterate the point of differences of cultures does add much more to the melting pot, even though there are similar problems in relationships. As for 'being economical with the truth' I have to s...

Hi All She seems quite sensible and quite sweet Call me the old cynic, but I've heard this one so many times and have yet to come across a naively sweet Thai girl (BG or otherwise). I know naive wasn't stated but seems implied(?) I think he's gone into this with his eyes HALF shut/open.... :laugh: S...

Hi All IMO most Anglo/Thai relationships go wrong as a result of a communication breakdown which leads to not knowing what the other wants/needs and is doing, which ultimately leads to mistrust Interesting one this, because whilst fundamently I agree, I think that some times, it is more than listeni...

Hi guys Not what I was initially hoping for, but, eh, this could be fun :twisted: Some interesting comments there It makes no diference what country you live in. What is important is who you marry. If you marry a bar girl you deserve what you get. Don't think I can agree with your somewhat bigotted ...

Hi Buksida,
Have I finished this off with a long-winded post ?!
Or is no-one interested in offering their experiences?
Shame, there must be loads of useful opinions.
Any ideas on how to kick start this back to life?

Hi Buksida, The 66% is the British Embassy figure and, of course, I can only speak from my knowledge, but I suspect the Embassy's figures are no more than a guesstimate, as are mine. I think it's higher (i.e more than 66%), or at least in the larger towns/ cities that I have knowledge of. The nation...

Just wanted to respond to Buksida The biggest problem I see with Western-Thai relationships is the cultural and communication barrier I would like to test your comments about views towards Thai partners in the UK when I take my wife back there for a holiday The first quote I totally agree with, The ...

Viseman said Then again, I know when to keep my mouth shut I think this is the key to avoiding most/all trouble, keep yer nose out of it and even more so if you are a Farang. What a down to earth lot you are. It's pleasing to know there are folks like you out there talking sense. :D It's a relief to...

Hi PeteB
Another quick reply! Once again, thanks for the information - found the area.
Look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Hi guys, A few points: First: Can you please tell me where this Jaews bar is? Is it in/ near the Soi Binterbarn area? I shall be over there in August and would dearly love to avoid that kind of hassle. Second: I've only been to HH once before and didn't see any problems. Third: I've travelled quite ...

Hi fellas Good to hear from you both and :thumb: thanks for the comments. Hope you have a great trip, PeteB, where ever you're going, always liked Bangkok for a few days. Let us know about the trip, recommendations, etc. if you have the time/ inclination on return. Nice bike the BSA Goldie. So is yo...

Hells bells (no I'm not that old!) Two responses, that's excellent! :thumb: Thanks very much for the information. Wow, you get around, PeteB, what a mine of information! GinTonic no lime (haven't drunk that for a few years, more of a whiskey/ brandy man meself, that's after(!?) the beer!) has a vali...

Hi to all lovers of Thailand ( and things connected !) I've recently been writing and receiving a number of postings from/ to very helpful people. Under a posting regarding City Beach Hotel, I had made a few comments singing the praises about the cheapness of a very efficient agency sawadee.com. :oo...

Hi Pete B, Just as I thought I had finally found a relable organisation. (I must have used them previously to succesfully book about 10 hotels in/ around Thailand). I haven't used them yet for this summer's trip and this is obviously making me have rethink. Of course it may just be a rare hiccup, bu...

Hi cockneyrebel :thumb: for that info. Oddly, It was one of 3 hotels I've been considering and the rates are cheaper 1100 bahts (with sawadeee.com - incidently I don't work for 'em!!). I'm Yorkshire lad originally, but not tight any more :o !? Tell you what, I like a good breakfast, stayed in the HH...
