drogon Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Never heard the missus or her friends saying Thai men are lazy (she comes from a farmer family). The Thai men I met/know are working far more hard than I do no matter if farmers or office workers. The main problem with Thai men my missus friends pointed out is that there are quite a lot who are educated, working hard and faithful but there are far more Thai ladies competing for these men.... Result: Many educated and nice middle class Thai ladies are left alone and I realize that more and more middle class women are focusing on their career without considering being married (despite their families pressure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I would not think Thai men are as such lazy , though you might easily get that impression observing security guards of all kind after 2 PM . 99 % ( estimating ) of them are dead asleep .

koow Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Whenever people post things like this (characteriszing a whole population), you should instead make A COMPARISON... to sex tourists or expats who live in tland because of the cheap/easy sex. Shouldn't you be asking "are thai men lazier than sex tourists sexpats?. Or, when people here say that "all bar girls are the same.....blah blah.....", then aren't all sex tourists/sexpats the same?

dean Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I haven't seen any difference between Thai men and western men as far as the percentage that are lazy. I do know a lot of Thai men that are divorced with children and pay no child support. In my case, my wife, who was divorced for 3 years before meeting me, never received any money to help with expenses for their 3 children. I'm assuming that enforcement of any child support decrees isn't a high priority of the Thai judicial system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think I've written this before but I know more than a few Thai men with custody rather if there ever was a real marriage (as opposed to someone getting knocked up) higher rate of custody (maybe - very small sample) than in the west.

Central Scrutinizer Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've seen and heard of many Thai men demanding custody of the kids when the split happens. (Usually the split is caused by them leaving for the younger mia noi/new wife.) From what I have seen most Thai women refuse to give up the kids to ex hubby and his new lady (point of pride, payback, spite, and of course they love their kids). Many times I have seen they'll give up the boys/sons to ex-hubby, but not the girls/daughters, for Papa and new lady to raise. Also the men seem to fight harder to get custody of the boys, more so than with the daughters. I've rarely seen and heard of much being sent for child care/support once the split occurs (and not just for the less affluent fathers, but even those with very good paying jobs). If money is sent it is usually an occasional thing done for a specific reason and not a monthly/annual payment. The goverment does need to get tougher on this matter, as it is the kids that suffer the most. But hopefully they are reasonable about the amounts and don't follow the western blueprint on this. Just my experiences and what I have seen here over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Scrutinizer Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yes, they seemed to all have more important things to do (which may have been true, as this wasn't a paying job - although I would have paid if necessary), and actually all for the good I think as I haven't seen many Thai men with the patience to do a good paint job really.

Mentors Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 in my wifes family and with a look to our neigbours around, most of the mens working. And if a thai man running away from his family it is not rare because his wife to live extravagantly. I know some doubtful examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
