Bagging a farang

 

More than threefifths of women in the Northeast surveyed in an Isaan poll said they wanted to marry farang husbands, mainly because of their wealth, faithfulness and respect for women.

 

Of 484 women living in 19 northeastern provinces surฌveyed in March and April, 61 per cent said they deemed Western men rich, 53 per cent said they thought farang men were kind and respected women more than Thai men, while 16 per cent said they wanted to marry and live abroad.

 

Englishmen were the favourites, gaining 32 per cent of respondents’ votes, while Americans and Germans trailed behind with 21 and eight per cent respectively.

 

The survey found that women who were already married to foreign husbands spent a large portion (20 per cent) of their monthly income on electricity and water bills as their homes tended to be large and full of domestic appliances - another factor that attracted single, northeastern women.

So the way to their heart is a big house in Nakom Anywhere and a washing machine. What a big surprise.

 

It would probably be easy to attack their sampling method, anyway it might be true except about the Englishmen unless this survey was done before 1776

Most wealthy Thai men I know have Giks and Mia Noi's all other the shop. Never ceases to amaze me how open they are about it as well. In some cases the wife even knows. Strange world.

Most wealthy Thai's prefer fair skinned Tg's which are hardly found in Isaan.

Yes, but how is that relevant to what the dark skinned tgs prefer? I think it's basically a rhetorical question.

Because the survey was done in Isaan, and not in other regions of LOS.

[Mike Asia]

One thing I did learn is the English build more and bigger houses in Issan than the Americans and Germans. Maybe more come to Thailand, more fall in love or some other reason.

Appliances are always an important consideration

I wonder if the survey was for between Farang, and Thai men of equal wealth, which would they prefer?

Why must you always inject reality into the conversation?

One out of three ain't bad.

[Benny10]

isnt three-fifths 3 out of 5?? thats better then one out of three...

one out of three would be 33 %

three out of five would be 60 %

 

[Lok Jit]

So Money does equal LOVE after all to an Isan lady...

 

They still prefer a Thai man with Money over any Farang...

[minime]

Most wealthy Thai's prefer fair skinned Tg's which are hardly found in Isaan.

 

you mean you like fair skinned!

[Benny10]

you mean you like fair skinned!

Yes I do, so I leave the dark ones to your household mate.

I meant the Isaan girls will get one of the three traits they perceive in farang.

[Muadib]
