Excellent point. Only the Malay Peninsula has the right conditions I thought. Maybe its actually poppy plants?

Jungle Jim^ is this true?

Most certainly the largest and most established [per density] plantations of rubber will be found in the south..

Yet, latex/rubber groves can be found in variable sizes throughout the Isaan plauteau - I know of Ubon, Kalasin, Khon Kaen, NKP, Sisaket, and Surin that have long worked rubber tree fields.

As it does reasonably throughout the central basin, one will find scattered areas there as well.

Personally, have had shirt-tail relatives that worked at least a couple hundred of rai along the highlands of Phitsanulok/Phetchabun - amazingly productive at that altitude....later replaced by pineapple because of the shitty rubber market.

Know of small plots along the Sukhothai/Tak frontier, as well.

There are tales of massive woe and heatbreak and near bankruptcy.

There are probably more tales of harmony, companionship and love.


However, and this is a big however ... the way you have presented your lady is like this.

She's treating you as a customer, negotiating the price first and payment later.

The price is BHT 5,000 a week. And that is just how it starts ...


Mate, take the time to go back and read this extensive reply I wrote you as you seemed to have ignored almost every single line it ... https://teakdoor.com/the-teakdoor-lou...ml#post3456704

Starting with the Visa Question. Read here ... https://teakdoor.com/thai-visas-and-v...o-england.html


We all wish you good luck, we just don't want to see you become a victim, or worse, caught in a trap you can't get out.

Hensen do yourself a favour and listen to Dave 48. There is sage advice. Take it now before you get into the sh#t. I fear you are not looking for advice but self justification for what you probably know deep down has a 90% chance of biting you on the arse. Remember many of us here have seen it or felt it before. Experience is a hard task master.

the same as anyone pondering such a life.

it's of course, sage advice, but don't spend too much energy on letting him know. as said, it's just thinking out loud and rationalizing what one already wants to do.

obviously, we want updates lol.

Love is love ..bad or good still love

I really don't think so, the divorce rate between foreigners and Thai women, especially Issan ones must be about 70% at least. Most couples have bugger all in common and 99% of Thai women, according to the Mrs, marry for financial security, not for western notions of 'love'. When the financial expectations are not met then that's where the trouble starts. Of course there are lots of long term marriages, but far more broken ones, the shortest I remember was six weeks, bar girl and fat westerner who could not deliver on the cash front.

Yeah? I can think of 3 off the top of my head that got that beat.


I'm considered to be a serial marrier by some.

7 years (Bkk Thai), 3 years (Korean), 3 years (Issaner), now. < Monster age gap.

I met a merkin in the sands of time who had been married 9 (fucking!) times.

His latest conquest was 3 yrs ago w/ a Flipper nurse in Sawdy which dissolved after his company lost the contract and he returned to the states. There, he balked on bringing her over immediately and (I think) lessened his monthly payments.

look, it's cool to say, "i will pay for lust...to keep a steamy encounter going"

but to think of any arranged payment scheme as love is deluded and hysterical.


love does not equal lust. and to suggest that once you stop payment there is a problem AND you love each other...well thats just a real laffer there.

but i reckon that this is all either just a wind up or some schmuck who has money to burn, which both are cool. i mean, this is an internet forum. it's filled to the brim with piss.

which is cool. piss on lads. piss on.

Interesting David, I didn't know that (about you and Za).

Yeah man,....I gotta get back on my sister to play my powerball numbers.

I'd like to think for when I win....I'll immediately cut it in 1/2 and give that to wifey. We've been together almost 7 years (already! where does the time go?) and she's been there for me for some of the difficult stuff and just cuz I love her.

Then 1/4 out my remaining. I've got Mom, sis and bro. We'd each get our respective portions and we'll see you on the yacht in Chalong bay

Your attempt to stain the reality factor might be a bit exaggerated and runs afoul.

The respective percentile comparisons might run closer to:
Divorce/separation - 50%
Gold digger syndrome - 65%

...and most of which fall under the category of unsubstantiated myth based on stereotypical conclusions.

Wow, she really laid it on the line to you, eh?

Ohh god!! still have 1% think about love..thats cool lol

Just find rich women so you no need to pay anything..hmm or maybe pay more I am not sure lol

Possibly all of you do za, just not the 'western notion' of it, apparently.
