Farangbaa, I know a couple of guys personally who have married non-BG's. They seem to have been accepted into the girl's families, are quite happy, like their in-laws, and don't feel they are being ripped off. I guess it's just life. It's a gamble for the most part. Some win, some lose, some break even. Some try to get the best odds before placing their bet. Some quit gambling. Or never start. I agree with you though. It is best to be cautious, and hope you're not playing with a three card Monte hustler, whether a working girl or a "good" girl. Thai or farang. And yeah, some, not all, Thais can be a very prejudiced lot sometimes. Even, and maybe especially, where farangs are concerned. But like I said, I know two examples that run contrary to what you state, so far. And as always, yeah baa, only time will tell. "odds on he'll lose his shirt"....You're probably right, at least on the odds. Personally I hope he hits the jackpot. From what I gather from the cautionary tone of your post.....you bet against the odds before, and lost? Just curious. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunJack Posted March 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 thanks guys for the response ... I made up my mind...the foodland prepared gift baskets will it be (and it will be not a gig one). I still remember my friend in the states who is married to a korean lady said to me.... bring all the time a little present when you visit somebodies house...especially the first time and when they are Asians. More as an appreciation or sign of respect .it shouldn't be expensive otherwise I would enter/start a total different ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We farangs have a saying, "It's not the gift, it's the thought that counts." Meaning the gift doesn't have to be expensive. It's the thought behind it, and the fact you've thought of the person you've bought it for, that truly counts in their heart. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices of a bath of gold are clearly written on gold shops doors in Chinatown.It's quite less than 5% difference when U sell it back. U pay a little for the handwork when u buy gold too but it's pretty low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
