    What's bemusing about this sort of scenario is not only that people marry uneducated women from predominntly rural backgrounds and are somehow surprised and perplexed when they act like uneducated women from a rural background, but that they actually fall for it. Some many times over by the sounds of it.

    What does that say about the allegedly more 'intelligent' and 'culturally superior' Western men (who then go on to compound their own silliness and self-inflicted misfortunes by making the assumption/generalisation that all women from Thailand are uneducated and from rural backgrounds out to scam them).

    BECAUSE: (with the notable exception of course, of td members' wives and girlfriends),
    MOST women from Thailand are uneducated and from rural backgrounds out to scam them.


    actually, it has little to do with the "uneducated and rural background" thing:
    more of a cultural (thai) thing, plus the fact that most visitors to thailand are unlikely to meet many thai women of high moral and ethical standard, if any such thing actually exists in thailand.
    (with, of course the notable exception of wives and girlfriends of td members!)

    It's true that most women from Thailand are uneducated (relatively at least) and from a rural backgrounds. It's not true that most of them are out to scam farang men.

    Such a thing does exist. But then of course most of the visitors to Thailand being referred to tend to congregate in and around areas populated with uneducated women from rural backgrounds (i.e. bars), labouring under the impression that they're all out to scam them.

    A self-perpetuating myth and fallacy.

    i have to agree that it is not true that most of them are out to scam farang men.



    MOST THAIS WILL INDISCRIMINATELY SCAM ANYBODY STUPID ENOUGH TO BE SCAMMED!

    this includes friends, family members,husbands, wives ETC- not only farang men.
    like i said: it's a THAI THING!

    I am sitting in my place of work in Thailand. There are 10 women working as part of my team. Two of them have PhDs. One has an MD. Four have Masters degrees. The other three women are currently studying Masters degrees.

    My secretary (in another office) has three degrees. Two Bachelors degrees (one in accountancy), and a MPA (Masters of Public Administration).


    ..remind me of your point again?

    DO THEY REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF THAI WOMEN????


    THAT is my point!

    by the way, i know a number of thais with "masters degrees" that they obtained from thai universities, and as far as i am concerned, they were still undeucated and ignorant!

    I've met some "highly educated" people here that have proved to be utter fukcing imbeciles. Their education has been bought and not earned.
    The guys who work for me on the tools are the brightest and hardest working people I've met anywhere.

    ^^ and ^^^

    Keep living in your worlds, where Thailand is just poor hookers, and you can keep feeling secure in your masculinity.

    There ARE bright, educated Thai women.

    Clearly you lot don't meet them. Suppose thats because they ain't in bars and brothels.

    Hey, steady on mate. Happily married to one, thanks.

    Just offering the suggestion that not every "educated" person here is such.

    Just not as bright as they should be with several degrees under their belts.

    Pick one, any one and send her to do an entrance exam at any western Uni for the equivelant of whatever degrees she has...lets see what happens.

    No doubt there are some very smart ones....but you cannot live in a lie claiming most are and they stack up to their highly regarded educations they claim to have passed.....

    I have known half a dozen Thai students get either Bachelor or Masters degrees from Thailand, and go on to do PhDs in USA/UK.

    Thats PERSONALLY known.

    nobody is disputing the fact that there are possibly many bright thais around.
    BUT
    most of them are thick as pigshit, degree or not! (that's PERSONALLY known!)
    i went to a circuis once when i was a kid.
    they had a baboon that could ride a bicycle!
    MOST BABOONS CANNOT RIDE BICYCLES!!!!!
    ....same applies to thailand:

    of COURSE there are exceptions to the rule!

    I live in quite a wealthy little town in Rayong.
    6 years ago on my first visit to this town I went looking for dog food.
    On entering a little shack shop in the village I was greeted my a little Thai miss who could nothing more than stare at me.
    Farang were still a novelty here, and I am 6 foot 2 which makes me a giant.
    Anyhow, after about 10 seconds a little old man appeared who said,
    "Good morning sir, how may I help you?" He even used "may" and not can, can is piss poor English.
    I remarked on his English and asked him where he learned it.
    Turns out that he went to Harrow and then Cambridge, and then practiced law for 35 years at The Temple.
    Not all Thais are stupid.
    Falling asleep and waking up is not the same as passing out and coming to.

    He was educated overseas...maybe evn grew up there...earnt his pass by actually passing......so of course this makes him very different and truly a rare creature.

    I also know an old guy, grew up in Oz, wirey little 60 year old thai guy and swears in an Ozzi accent....very clever also....another exception.

    But the jewels are few and far between, that is the problem.

    Thai people are by nature, good people - and they are born no more or less dumb than the rest of us. If anything has made them dumb, stupid or greedy it is the influence from the west. Before they were corrupted and polluted by the power of the dollar and the pull of the television they were not judged against our own benchmark of what is stupid and what isn't, they were just a nation that had their own way of doing things and it worked for them.

    I met a girl in a bar once, needed money for an operation.



    Six months later met her again in the same bar. She showed me the scar from her operation some punter had paid for.

    and what did she do with the money she received from all of the other suckers who paid for the same operation?
