I live with my Thai Girlfriend in Udon Thani that I met in a bar in Ao Nang for 2 months now.

We live together with her 2 children in her house, and have just planted rice in her 7 rai of fields. (I have seen and had the paperwork explained to me at the Department of Land.)

She told me she had just started working the bar 3 weeks before we met, which has proved to be true on checking flights and other documents. Prior to this she had a hair salon in her home which I have just converted into a bedroom as she did not get enough trade.

I have met her family (which include a couple of Aussie husbands of sisters) and she has introduced me to the neighbours in the village as her new husband (although we not married yet. (She says it is not a done thing to live together in her home in the eyes of her neighbours, so we are 'married')

Everyone I have spoken to say she is a great girl and well respected in the community, even the local Immigration Office workers stop what they are doing to say hello, both men and ladies and to help us out with any enquiry we have.

Now the big question.....

She went into the Bar due to debts which I have authenticated with her bank and they are real.

I just worry, after reading the horror stories about Thai Bar Girls am I going to end up the fool on the hill.

Any thought would be welcomed
