dean Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions. I've got 6 weeks to look into the massage and Thai cooking class ideas. The wife and our son are leaving tomarrow for 6 weeks om Chaing Mai. It also seems she prefers Thai doctors and will have a check up while there. Maybe she can get a copy of her Massage.

Flashermac Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 As to cooking, she could diversify by offering extra classes in Thai vegetarian dishes (same stuff, only made with soi protein instead of dead animals) and in Thai deserts (which almost nobody teaches). Just something to attract folks of all types. If you look on line, you'll find lists of substitutes to use for things hard to find in the west (lemon for lemon grass etc).

Old Hippie Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Problem with the cooking classes is they are a 1 time novelty. Massage goes on and on...of course no problem having the classes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Dean, is there anything you and your wife could do together? I have a store and my wife runs it (the cash register). She gets along good with the customers and that is about all that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNoi Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 You will never really get a factual result as we all know how many lie about marrying a BG. I know several guys here in sydney who have married BGs and will never admit it. Some even split hair claiming that because they met in a pool hall or a beer garden they are technically not a BG Agree 100%, Busty :thumbup: While obviously not being BG's, I am sure that a farang would be much more appealing as "a marriage catch" to a girl working in a low-income job such as a waitress, bus conductor, worker in a English / Irish pub etc just to give a few examples. Rather than the BG poll above, (no offense to the OP of course), I would be more interested in seeing a poll about farangs who have married girls from low-income backgrounds compared to "corporate / high income" Thai girls. I am sure the "Knight in Shining Armour" syndrome is alive and well in these instances too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.. Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I would be more interested in seeing a poll about farangs who have married girls from low-income backgrounds compared to "corporate / high income" Thai girls. I am sure the "Knight in Shining Armour" syndrome is alive and well in these instances too. That would be an interesting poll. Well, maybe not the poll (cuz 99% would answer "low income"), but the discussion following. Believe me, marrying a "high income" girl has more than it's share of issues too LOL! Cheers, SD -- trying "middle income" now... :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartThais Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Where I'm from, if an old middle-class guy marries a young thai girl, it doesn't matter if she's Thaksin's daughter. We all assume she is a bargirl. That's how most of the world views it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
