Thailand Liao Expert, Speak Thai Until Fluently, Been Everywhere from Chiang Mai to Hat Yai
Bro, listen up. I not anyhow say one. I been going Thailand since NS days until now uncle liao, got live in Bangkok, work in Pattaya, even go Isaan side stay with local family before. Can speak fluent Thai, read and write also no problem. Got a few ex also Thai bu—some sweet, some nightmare. So this article not to condemn, but to warn our local brothers lah. Especially those blur-blur think all Thai girls same as massage shop ones or those soft-soft call you “na rak” (cute). Reality different, bro.
Here’s my top 10 reasons why you should NOT rush into marrying a Siam Bu:
1. Her English Solid, But You Still Don’t Know What She Really Thinking
Even if she speak good English, many things she won’t say straight. Thai culture very “kreng jai” (scared to offend). So she smile, say “up to you”, but inside she damn buay song. You’ll always be guessing if you did something wrong. Later she explode like Mount Fuji, you stunned.
2. You’re Marrying the Family, Not Just Her
In Thai culture, family is everything. You not just marrying her—you marrying her whole kampung. Monthly must give allowance to her parents. And if got younger brother or sister studying, guess what? You become ATM liao.
3. She Might Still Be “Working” at the Bar Behind Your Back
I got one buddy, married his Thai “ex-bar girl” girlfriend, brought her back to Singapore. Few months later, she go Geylang every Friday “see friend.” End up, she go there work part-time. Don’t be that guy. Not all, but some never really quit that life.
4. Money Always Talk First in Thai Culture
Everything about “sanook” (fun), but you pay. Want to go out? You pay. Want to meet parents? You pay. Wedding? Also you pay. Dowry (sin sod)? Can be SGD 10k or more. If she say “my family not asking much,” bro—confirm got hidden agenda.
5. She Might Be Using You as a Ticket Out of Thailand
Some girls just want a Singapore PR or passport. Once she secure it, your life can become drama serial. I seen guys get left behind once they buy the condo and settle the paperwork. She “suddenly” fall in love with some other guy “more understanding.”
6. Cultural Gap Is Not Cute After Marriage
Dating is fun—spicy food, temple visits, Thai songs, everything new and exciting. But wait until you live together. You want prata, she want sticky rice. You want Hokkien song, she want luk thung. You want to talk problems, she keep quiet and cry. That gap? Real big.
7. Jealousy Level: Ultra Max
Many Thai girls damn possessive. You go out with female colleague, she check your phone. You come home late, she say you got “mia noi” (mistress). They love very hard, but the price is your freedom. Don’t think you can hide anything—they CIA level sharp.
8. Looks Fade, Expectations Grow
Thai girls really know how to jaga their looks—face mask, makeup, dress nicely. But once married, different story. And they also expect you to continue jaga your wallet. Romantic dinners must continue, otherwise she say you change liao.
9. You Don’t Really Know Her Past
Some Thai girls got very colourful background—ex-bar girl, sponsor by ang moh before, or even got kid with ex-husband. And many won’t tell you until you already in too deep. You think you know her story, but she only let you read one page. Buy one get 4 free if you suay. Not buy 1 get 1 free.
10. Divorce Is a Whole New Level of Pain
In Singapore, divorce already headache. Marry Thai girl, worse—got property in Thailand? Good luck claiming. Got kid? You may not even see your child again. And Thai law usually side the local. You cry, but nobody pity you in court.
Final Words from Ah Tan
Bro, I not saying all Thai girls are bad. Got many good ones also. But don’t go in blur-blur, think love can solve everything. You must understand culture, family, and motive. Talk to her in Thai, go her hometown, meet her real friends, not just IG models.
Marrying a Siam Bu not like going BKK for holiday—it’s a lifetime investment. Do your due diligence. Or later you cry until your CPF also gone.
Stay safe, stay woke. Your Ah Tan say finish.
