    They all say that. Don't be arrogant just because you're young, they can scam young guys just as easily as old guys. Or it could well be true love also. Only you can decide that. Good luck.

    Starting to doubt it is now. I do love her. I could do better. But I really liked her mannerism. The little things. Not any fake eye fluttering, but the way see sang, the way she'd screw her face up shake her head and say what as I stared into her eyes. Never ever would go with a girl with a child ever. But I dropped all my standards. PROB for nothing now. We'll see. I am 50 50 if she did go back to Isaan. Another person on LINE app posted similar photos of a meal her mother prepared. Same meal. But now that man has a cover photo of her and her daughter plus a baby. I don't believe a brother, friend or her sisters husband would do that. He's really ugly but starting to think it is her partner. I hope not. I have questioned it to her and sent screen shot of his cover photo. Not doubt she will not understand and make little effort to convince me they are not together. Will see 5 hours or so when she reads all my messages to her. I would have married her. Hurts. But I guess I am just another farang fool she was playing a game with. To think I would have paid all that money involved in the end for visa etc both for her and daughter. If they are together I truely feel sorry for her. In the position she is and what she could have had with me. So maybe I am not the actual fool here.

    You can all jock and mock me now. I can't feel any worse. So get your fix. Gloat. Permission granted.

    Why- wouldn't it be a little more strange if a gal fresh from the moo ban could text in English? That would mean she's using a translator- which would mean in turn she is plugged into the good old bargirl network.

    I think some posers err posters are more tha a little outta touch with just how "connected" the rural Thais are nowadays, especially younger ones!! Nearly every smart phone sold in this country comes with some b/s thai-engrish translator ap for free.

    Christ I just came back from one of those "dog-n-pony show" foreigner/thai weddings in the middle of nowhere in Sa Kaeo Province; yet EVERY single person under about 30 had a smart phone, could speak and text in rudimentary engrish.. If a thai EVER went to school in this country they learned English. Now it might be that whacky thai accented stuff with the whacked sentence structure, but it's definitely understandable engrish..

    The "act" that Thais don't know, don't speak or don't understand what passes for engrish here is just that, an act.

    Most younger Thais understand English just fine if you speak slowly, now they may not answer in engrish, preferring Thai (so they don't lose face speaking wrong), but they all have the ability to answer back.

    That she speaks something resembling engrish isn't as big a red flag as the location of where you met her. As I said, most younger thais speak just fine IF you make 'em or if they need to.

    Now I think the O/P might be more than a little paranoid thinking ever male Thai in any picture has "also had her too", but hey, what ever floats his boat.

    She understood english spoken by the majority. But I guess typing and writing is another game.

    As I have stated earlier, almost any Thai under 35 can certainly read, write and text in pidgin engrish enough to be understood.
    Factor in the "industry" she is (or was) employed in and I'd imagine her ability would increase seeing as that is a necessary skill-set to interact with foreigners. That she is fresh outta a one buffalo village in Nakhon Nowhere plays very little role in her ability to read/text in engrish. If she ever went to school she learned engrish...

    You've certainly posted your requests for translations on enough forums about the Thai language. That you sought out those forums is to be admired..

    My advice; start learning Thai. I mean, 67+ million people in this country seem to read/speak/understand Thai just fine. While it is entirely plausible that one percent of the world's population is indeed smarter than you are, it is statistically impossible that all 67+ million of them are thais.

    Good Luck...

    ฉันมีความสุกที่มีคุณ

    Any ideas please.
    I get two completely different translations.

    By the way the relationship is going very well.
    We appear to both be completely in love now.
    A fair few tears missing one another since last visit.

    * She made a spelling mistake (ความสุข). That might have affected the translation you got.

    You sure live up to your user name there "Smug Farang Bore"..

    Every "isaanite" I've met in the country seemed to speak/understand the "government approved version of thai" (which BTW is; Central Thai), just fine.

    Now they might speak one of the 4 or 5 isaan dialects at home, but seeing as every t/v show, every FM radio station, ALL government officials & offices along with every school in the country teaches Central Thai, if I was a betting man, I'd bet dollars to durian they can all speak/understand Central Thai just fine.

    There is very little "bang-4-the-baht" learning Isaan Thai. It's just not that useful.. Christ even living in Isaan, if you drove 60 KM you might be in an area which uses another isaan dialect. Korat Isaan isn't the dialect spoken anywhere but Korat province, Surin Isaan is different from Nong Khai Isaan, which is also different from Ubon Isaan.

    Learn Central Thai, talk to all 67+ million of these people, or learn Isaan and talk to a handfull.. The choice is yours, but given the sizable investment of time, effort and energy you'd put into learning the language, I'd opt for the best ROI... Then again that's just me..

    As far as the spelling mistakes in the texts, they are puzzling and posters on other forums also weighed in on this fact. It's certainly NOT that she's an isaanite, because she's typin' Central Thai.

    So far the excuses offered out by the O/P as far as why there are so many mistakes ring pretty hollow. No one's been able to figure it out..

    Then again, seeing as the conversations are pretty mundane, and boilerplate, there's not a lot of misunderstanding what she's tryin' to say IF you can read even basic Thai..
