Ted is a 46 year-old salesman from Wales. He is divorced, feels marginalised by middle age and is tired of life in the 'nanny state'. Ted is a frequent visitor to Thailand as a result of his job in an import business. He revels in the freedom he finds in a country where everything is for sale at the right price; including the beautiful young women who want to be with him.

Ted meets Tip who is working in the Rooster Bar. She is in her mid thirties, from the northeastern Issan region, the poorest part of Thailand. Like many Issan women, Tip is uneducated and could never earn enough to own her house or educate her child. She hates the thought of her daughter growing up to be involved in prostitution. When she meets Ted, she thinks she has finally found a foreigner who will take care of her and her daughter.

Ted returns to the UK, but stays in contact with Tip by telephone. He sends her money so she can give up her bar job and return to her family's farm in her village, Krasang. After a few months, at Tip's request, Ted returns to Thailand and marries her. Ted liquidates his assets in Wales and sinks his money into building a house and piggery on Tip's family farm. (didnt one of our samster also did this?)

He soon discovers there are many other foreign men who have married and settled in northeast Thailand. For many Issan women, marriage to a foreigner provides a way out of debt and a lifetime of difficult work. In northeast Thailand, marriage to a foreigner has become an industry. John, an Australian, says that there are about 90 foreigners living within a five-kilometre radius and that new foreigners arrive every week. Larry, an American, built his wife a large, luxurious house in Krasang. Larry believes she does love him, even though she tells him she doesn't. Grant's wife Pon says that when she took Grant home to Krasang, her friends and relatives all came over to her house to see the foreigner, because they couldn't believe she got one.

Within 12 months, Ted's hopes for a better life have been dashed. His money has disappeared much faster than he expected. Tip and her family don't seem to want him around the farm anymore. When Ted asks Tip if she loves him, she says: "I can't eat or drink your love." Ted leaves the farm destitute and wonders whether it had been a con all along. Ted rents a room in a nearby town. After surviving on credit for several months, Ted begs Tip to give him some of his money back. But she is only willing to buy him a one-way ticket back to the UK.

Economically, Ted and Tip have traded places and Ted has learned what his Thai wife already knew: without money, you lose everything. My Thai Bride is about the power of money to save and destroy -- and the harm that ensues when people are reduced to commodities. While there have been other films about prostitution in Thailand, My Thai Bride explores the lesser known story of the foreign marriage industry and the consequences for the men and women involved.

These stories are well known. Never trust a WL, they are a bottomless pit. Even married Thai women here in SG are unfaithful and fuck around. These vices are in their blood. Also these cases are not unique to Thailand.

Just like ang mo, their ancestors, get rich by plundering Asian countries and they are more adventurous than most Asian.

poor fella. but there will be more like him . he is not the first and will not be the last.:(

Re: Boss Sam is right!
 

The PRC whores are even smarter. They'll help themselves to your HDB pigeon hole as well as your bank account. :p

Re: Boss Sam is right!
 

no money no honey. proven fact.

Boss Sam is right!
 

Very educational VID on life in Issan.

Ted's awakening: "No money, no honey !!" One way ticket back: Tip: " Good bye forever!!"

Life is interesting. :) Thanks.

Re: Boss Sam is right!
 

And the guy was not even angry in the end , the greedy evil bitch had the nerve to smile and said " goodbye forever" :mad:

It's a stark reminder to all of us who cheong - have fun but never get serious with all bargirls.

It may be tempting but it will never work out in the end.

They're only good for a screw, but certainly not something permanent.

When I saw the docu, I was like WTF - the girls are fugly and who in his right mind would even contemplate a future with them???

Re: Boss Sam is right!
 

bro, you must look through the eyes of a middle age 40+ yo caucasian who have divorced and filled with emotional baggages. he probably like the attention and feel useful to them, feel that they treat him like a human (in the beginning at least)

and yes we must learn from his experience. those girls are only for fun. they chose their job and we are their clients. clear and professional.

This is a good thread.

Those in KC now should view the video.

bro Captian Caveman, thanks for sharing!

Re: Boss Sam is right!
 

Great documentary. Wasted 1 hour of my time but still nice.

Re: Boss Sam is right!
 

Did he commented that his ugly whore wife wanted him to leave? Or he cannot stand being neglected and left himself? As the camera and documentary seems to show that she's busy running the household and running their farm business at the same time.

And Edward is inconsistent for saying he's in early 40s at the beginning and then 50 at his birthday celebration at the later part. And he fucking drink his Chang beers and smoke too much.

These cheesebye whores pray and pray so much for what, when they ended up cheating and lying in deeds. And one of the whore said she's jealous she had to work so hard for so little, does that give her the fucking right to cheat? Just be an honest whore, at least you'll be respected.

Re: Boss Sam is right!
 

My sentiment exactly.

Don't mind saying that from experience, I can relate that nothing good will come out of being with a bargirl.

The moment you start to open your heart to them, that's the beginning of all kinds of trouble. They will prey on your weakness and dig as much from you bit by bit until nothing left.

When I look back, thankfully I manage to break free from past stupidity.
