Some is funny, some is shocking. 
Also is old style, before internet time.

Perpetuate the weary, pathetic and predictable stereotypes and myths?

I not make this documentary. I only share it. Is farang documentary.

it make Thailand look bad. But is real story. Not myth. Not head in the sand.

1991 Thailand still have poverty a lot. Thailand improve so much since that time. (Thaksin)
 

Is funny a bit, shocking a bit.
Maybe sensitive for some people?

I think Bill ok. Jingjai.
I think Brian is selfish.

Part 2 show about another guy. He kick her out. She must return. Is the England law. 
 

IMO this style is to quickly. They can not talk together because different language. I think a lot of problem. 
Also the man can choose. But the woman not.

I would agree that too often such major changes take place too quickly and so often under the rosy glow of new "romance". It happens often in both directions as is evident on forum discussions such as this where some describe failed outcomes in bitter tones. Almost invariably it is they that have been "wronged". But how often do we get to hear the other side of the stories?

If there is zero ability to communicate due to language barriers then yes it would be a problem. But a "relationship" where that is the situation IMO would be based on expectations other than genuine emotions.

K1 Fiance Visa in the US is a great example of this.

They give you 90 day to marry. Even if you knew the girl for a good amount of time before(some don't) it still only gives her 90 days to adjust to a new country. That is hard on a relationship and it is too rushed.

Should be 1 year, IMO

 

I never to deal with that type of visa, but it  seems misguided.....

I said above

K1 Visa in US, is 90 days and then have to get married

That is way too short, should be 1 year so the girl can see if she enjoys living in that country

My wife didn't know that much English, but we got by with a book at 1st......

And honestly, looking back, it was quite endearing.

And thinking back, we got on quite easy with the book. I'm sure there were difficulties but I honestly don't remember not feeling like we weren't communicating when together.

But a lot of that was in holiday settings at 1st, so wasn't like we were discussing really important matters that could get lost in translation

 

I actually miss some of her English mix-ups now that she speaks English well.  :)

Same as Thailand really  , if you are here in Thailand on a marriage visa and the relationships ends in divorce/death , then you can no longer stay in Thailand on a marriage visa , although it would be easier for the felang in Thailand get an alternative visa , which a Thai in the U.K may find difficult

      News Forum - Thailand sets sights on “wealthy foreign tourists” to recover economy

      Thailand will never get a lot of wealthy tourists, ever. It’s just not that nice of a place. The people are still great, but not the country. I got a Thai Pass and visited with my wife January to February, including a trip to Samui. No way I will come back until the TP is gone but that’s not the point. I first went to Samui as a backpacker in 1991. Chaweng was gorgeous, a real tropical paradise. This time we stayed in a luxury resort north of Chaweng, but visiting it for the day was a huge letdown. The entire beach is walled off - no access, except through a never-ending line of small resorts which you can’t walk through unless you are a guest. The road from Central is just one tourist shop after another. It’s not over-developed. It’s over, over-developed. You can visit Samui and stay at a luxury resort - there are a handful of really nice ones, but to get to your resort the drive from the airport is an eyesore, and there’s nowhere else to go that is pristine. So most tourists stay at their resorts. This is the same situation at Phuket. We will visit Thailand on a regular basis and stay in Bangkok and then go upcountry. But for beach holidays, no more. There are so many other places around the world - Caribbean, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean and Pacific countries, that have both super resorts and where the local areas are still beautiful.

      News Forum - Canadian man arrested for stealing traffic barriers in Chiang Mai

      Not political correctness. Because work status, age and country provided I can put him in perspective. Now I know he have money and did not have to steal like this vs. someone who come from country without generous public pension and government union benefits, e.g. Algeria, South Africa, El Salvador etc. I am more likely to accept someone from poor circumstance stealing to survive, while this man, maybe steal to live lavish lifestyle or to have good time.

      News Forum - Canadian man arrested for stealing traffic barriers in Chiang Mai

      In this case it provides a basis to do some quick calculations; Retired postal worker is in a government employee union and has a guaranteed defined benefit pension. Typical postal worker retiree pension is CAD $1300 /month. Few employees have a defined benefit plan anymore except government workers. Its adjusted for COLA so will always increase as cost of living increases. retired postal workers still qualify for supplemental health plan that ends for most people in private sector when they retire. Because he is Canadian, we know that he can qualify for Canadian Pension Plan. Depending on age he retired and years worked he can collect anywhere from $650- $1160 a month. In addition if he can qualify for Old Age Security benefit and if "poor" a guaranteed income security additional payment. This is good for $607 to $907 for single seniors. The Canadian reference allows me to estimate the man's estimated guaranteed income minimum of $2500 to $3300 per month or 66,000 to 88,000 baht/month. This is without considering his private savings or pensions. My takeaway is that man had more than enough money to take care of himself. He also had private health care subsidized by Canadian taxpayers. With a past criminal conviction, deportation is an expected outcome. In this case Canadian nationality helps paint a picture of his character, since he had income. I conclude that this is not a nice man.
