is Thai CUSTOM..

I have friends from Chiang Mai down to Pattaya, most are retired, some are in business.
I know a farang that I rented an apt. from in CM and lived above his home on the 2nd floor, he has been married to a Thai for 15 years, They fight, scream, cuss each other everyday, she goes off gambling til 2 am or so every nite and he goes downtown and sometimes brings home a hooker for awhile at around 2200 and is always gone again by midnite.

#2 Thai sister in law and Thai husband, He is not that bad a guy but a sharp shooter without a steady job but always gonna make a million on his next deal, His wife is a school teacher, she really raises hell with him all the time, screams at him, Chases him out of the house, never satisfied with him and they do not get along at all.

#3- farang that chases women and spends a lot of money on em, his Thai wife actually abuses him, beats him, scratches skin off and hits him with household objects, wakes him at night with a knife against his throat, threatens to kill him..

#4-Farang with Thai wife, same as I, gets along fine, does things for each other, never a problem, his wife doesn't work but mine does..

#5-Thai husband and wife, he sells used cars on occasions, always drunk, chases women and never has money for his wife, she works and sells things here in our village, he will give her a divorce if she will give him 400K baht..

6-Thai husband, has 2 young women on the side that he pays phone bills for certain considerations, wife is not happy about it..

#7-My wife and I see different people that she knows in a food shop in town, married men and women with people that they are not married to, out on dates..And older Thai men making arrangements with Thai students from a univ. to pay phone bills for considerations..

#8- My 15 yo stepdaughter went up to her aunts place to stay the night when told that her and her cousin couldn't go to town in the evening,, Both girls were caught uptown at 0100 and brought back home, they had crawled out of the bedroom window and went 10 km to town anyway. They are Thai, and I don't think that is Thai custom but it happens..
