I prefer my thai husband to any other man (regardless of nationality)

You should not even have said Thai, Boo.
It has been said many times on other threads (amongst the noise,...) but lasting relationship is in between TWO people, whatever their nationality, and is based on...whatever the two of them think is best for them and forget about... the noise,...

I think Pattaya mail should employ a cartoonist who had some training at art school. But this paper isn't known for quality, anyway.

Bluecat:
"Men normally have a tendency to stop speaking when they have a problem"

I think we have seen examples of the opposite tendency recently.

Anyway, it is interesting to have a look in this thread to get comments farang woman/Thai man version of relationships, much less of a windup than the other way around it seems. Would be interesting to know if any Thais read here and get their comments.

Speaking, not writing,...

Anyone know what happened to Boo? The spice is gone from this thread, I honestly admit that I miss her. What can we do to get her back here? Her views were so unique on this board... The online community needs some balance, without her no one will bring those other unique opinions... I want her back!!! Pleasssssssssse!!

Everybody in this forum has a unique opinion.
And being a woman does not make it more unique.
Or does it?
For some people,...

Thank you, I knew you are a decent guy.
I wondered why there were so few posters last night. Must be the final round in football by now. Sorry, I am really ignorant in that respect.
But I do understand, no bad feelings on my part.

I am not a mod, by the way, just made a suggestion.

Is this a great thread or what?! Maybe if everyone keeps their cool, it won't get shut down.

BTW, having lived in Thailand for extended periods of time and will soon shift back permanently, I will not ever be cought wearing one of those "paakamaas" Sarongs, what have you. I know some farangs that can wear 'em but not me. Must be a cultural thing but my momma didn't raise no boy to wear a girl's skirt!

[sbk]

trust me Boonmee, it takes a certain panache (and knot-tying ability ) to carry off wearing a paakama. Not every thai guy can get away with it either. My brother-in-law always walks around in a towel. Certainly not an attractive sight. Don't think it would be made any better with the wearing of a paakama.

Boo is around, just busy I believe. Poor thing has had to make a big move. Sorry Boo! Hope things work out ok for you and your hubby! When my husband and I first went to the States it was a big change for him. Biggest problem he had was the lack of community feeling. I suspect most Thais find our western uninvolvement with each other hard to handle.

[Boon Mee]

sbk~

One thing I've never been accused of is having "panache". My wife gave up on me wearing a pakaama some time ago. Shorts it is for me...

In terms of lack of community feeling for Thais in the states it depends where and how long they are here. In general they become accustomed fairly quickly whether it's LA or Minnesota. Just about anywhere you go in the states these days there's a Thai Restaurant. Sometimes staffed by Lao - and Thais get their "community" from them.
For the most part, the Thais I've encountered in America don't give a passing thought to our lack of community involvement. It's the times in which we live in good 'ol USA!

Be realistc when you visit a forum for "women"..this is far more tame than reading cosmo or marie claire to say the least.

Totally agree - but they are a great escape from reality . My mother has these mags regularly couriered and they really do lay into men. The title of an article in this month's Cleo is "Can you train a guy? Sit, stay, bad dog!"
