A really good video first mentioned on the Big Mango blog. Basically, boy meets Thai girl on the internet. Boy marries girl. Boy brings Thai girl to live with him in England. Boy starts to hear rumors from Thais that his girl cheating on him. Boy takes girl on national television to take lie detector test to prove whether or not she’s lying. Girl fails test miserably.
Pretty much your typical love story.

Well after seeing this show I was amaze.I thought all thai bar girls could beat a lie detector test.He may have met her on the internet but you can tell she work the bars in thailand.When are the old guys that go to thailand to get young thais wife smarten up.These girls only want one thing,and it is not some old farang from england.Most of these girls do not want to live anywhere but thailand.I know because I was stupid to marry one many years ago.Anyway if you have not read the book money number one,do so.Everything in if is true.Private dancer is also a good read,for anyone going to thailand for the first time
Not even going to bother watching the video. Lived and travelled enough in Thailand to know one thing: If her lips are moving, she’s lying. That being said, I still wouldn’t go anywhere else for a fun holiday. Just make sure you board your plane the same way you came into the country–by yourself.
Half the marriages in the western would end in divorce because either or both lie to each other.
My ex English wife lied through her teach in court when I divorced her, and when I was paying her maintenance by cash for 2 years and we had a row and she went to the CSA as I had reduced her money as my wages were cut she said I had paid her nothing for 2 years.
Ohh dear! Nothing new on the “land of smile”
Some Thai lady’s believe they can cheat even the lie detector! Actually they still believe that a smile or complaining about their farangs husbands which voluntarily agreed to marry, will gain mercy! This video says a lot.. and there are more to see on Youtube. All farangs guys believing in True Thai love watch it out! Hopefully you will understand some fundamentals of it and open your eyes regarding your love relationships with Thai girls. Note: Not all Thai girls are money/material minded but the wast majority YES!
@GMA: The vast majority of Thai women are not money minded. The vast majority of Thai women who hang out on Sukhumvit and troll for farangs are.
The guy in the video is sad and pathetic. Its obvious that he’s got absolutely no self esteem, otherwise he couldn’t just sit there, watch his lying cheating wife insult him on television, and still want to “work things out”. Its like he’s got a big sign hanging around his neck saying “Please treat me like dirt and take advantage of me! I deserve it!”
I was 100% sure you will react on my post
! You like hunting everyone who shares another oppinion then yours in regards to the Thai girls. Well whether you like it or not, people have different views. In the movie isn’t mentioned that she is from Sukhumvit road. Sadly right ? She is a Thai wife cheating and lying. And continued to do so even she was caught with the lie detector. Of course this could happen to anyone but sorry to say this time was a Thai girl. And as I said there is more to see on Youtube on this topic.
Enjoy viewing.
Most of the time any problems arise from guys like this wanting his status symbol young wife to walk down the street with, they marry a bar girl and then don’t start as they mean to go on.
Find and get to know an ordinary Thai lady if you want a Thai wife, take time to get to know her, there are plenty of normal Thai women who work in ordinary jobs who may like the idea of a foreign husband but it takes more than a holiday romance to know how things will go.
Thai women have many qualities western women don’t have so they can make good wives but its still something you have top work at.
I met my wife who was a Teacher 4 years ago, we were together for more than 2 years before we married and been together now 4 years in a happy contented marriage.
She has far more qualities than my ex English wife and I live happily in Thailand now for 5 years and not been back to UK once.
It can work but not every time no different to anywhere in the world, most people who think they know about Thai people have no idea really and tar them all with the same brush and most guys who are cynical about them are the ones who came to Thailand, fell in love and got stupid and lost it because also they don’t know how to run a relationship.
@GMA: I react to your posts because you always attempt to portray Thai women negatively.
Your husband left you for a Thai girl. Get over it already.
You sound like a broken record constantly trying to find ways to portray all Thai women as liars, cheats, and prostitutes.
Has it ever dawned on you that it is this bitterness that might have drove your husband into her arms?
Read my last sentence where I clearly mentioned that not “Not all Thai girls are money/material minded” So I don’t portray All Thai woman prostitutes, cheaters or liars.
Unfortunately Thailand has a well known reputation for being the biggest sex tourist destination in the world. And you know well why it is like this. You can try to debate or justify why it’s so, and find all kind of excuses but this is reality and it’s an undeniable fact.
This reputation has been build because very many Thai girls are willing to do whatever it takes for money and stability. You may say that is because of their family poor condition, no education, or anything else.
Today in Thailand there are plenty of opportunities for every woman to get an education or to get a decent job and stand up for her values. And yes there are many who are doing that.
For some of course it’s always easy and more convenient to find a sponsor. And when the sponsor has finished up his money then they are looking for the next.
This is my point.
In regards to my ex husband I’m long time over it.
Of course I tried to find answers on what went wrong. And after many discussions together the final answer from him was, that I have been the best think in his life and I haven’t done anything wrong. It’s all his fault and he cannot understand himself why he did that. He regrets deeply what he has done and besides he is not happy either. The ordinary educated Thai girl he went for, cheated and lie on him.
One important thing many westerners do not understand is that Thai culture looks upon Sex in a whole different way, it is hard to understand but as an example if a girl is forced to have sex in the western world she would be so distraught about it and have 2 years councilling etc.
In Thailand it is a different meaning, Thais just get on with it, I am not talking children etc, if they are raped a Thai or anyone else would be prosecuted but sex is not such a big deal in Thailand, it may not be acceptable in the minds of westerners but that’s how it is.
Basically if your poor and your family is hungry as for centuries you will do what ever to feed your family and sex is no big deal so an easy option.
Of course there are so many western people who judge the Thais who have no idea or don’t care anyway but come out with all sorts of views and ideas but are not in touch with the real world.
The guy is OLDDDDDD.
Of course she married him to get taken care of. Why is this even on TV? He gets a e-mail order bride – this is what he gets. A lot of American guys get burned by Russians mail orders all the time.
Yes and sometimes a 50 ish/60 ish year old guy finds a very nice girl half his age and they live happily ever after.
Ahh, so if he’s old she shouldn’t be honest? Not sure I get your logic Nat Nat
this girl is pretty lucky to still be alive. the guy is a convicted murderer
even wears the same shirt at court – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1079453/Briton-accused-murdering-German-housewife-trapped-DNA-argument-girlfriend.html
Im 18 my thai girlfriend is 21. She studies university (That is a fact i know 100%) I have met her family her mum, step dad, dad his girlfriend, sister and step sister family friends. They are no where near poor family in Thailand. I aint got no money at all. When ever im at the mothers house she always gives me free food beer etc all day long. She is a lovely woman and i have met alot of woman in thailand and i no the ones that want money. This one prostitute i was sleeping with when i first went to thailand (for free) After a week or so was asking if i will send her money when i go back to england as a sponsor i basically told her to go fuck her self!!!! Oh well she was 28 i was getting free sex cant complain to much. Then i met this amazing little charmer … OMG beautifull 21 yr old woman who never has any money except the tiny bit her mum and dad give her. I know she aint no hooker or looking for any money she knows i aint got any! I do admit though so many thai girls are looking for 2 things. money and a passport. Im not giving my girlfriend money or a passport! Normally it is all these old dudes like in this video you see in bangkok. Old as fuck wearing their shorts with the sandals with socks on and there little hats bless them thinking they got young woman who actually love them haha. When ever we see them me and my gf have a little giggle wherver we are in chiangmai or bangkok w.e. They do make both of us laugh but at the same time feel really sorry for them. My girlfriend isnt amazing at english im not amazing at thai but we both speak good enough of each.
So just to prove alot of the girls are fine but most of em… well yeah after money
I just came to this and unless they have a native Thai intelligence officer ….it won’t work! Lie detectors can lie. An aquaintance of mine who is a lie detector operator and ex Us intelligence told me that unless you are very will acquainted with the values of the culture and the physiological responses, a lie detector is useless.
@Rio
He told you bullshit.
Since lie detectors work on physical responses to emotion caused changes in the body yes you can beat lie detectors if your responses do not match the standard.
People lie in every country, my ex wife was very very good at it, I do it, my mates do it, my children did it, my parents did it, people do it daily, some hourly, whats the big deal.
Dave – It’s a big deal because all social systems rely on a high degree of trust. While most systems are indeed hardy enough to withstand a certain amount of bullshit (New Jersey, for example, and most Englishmen), cohesion starts to unravel rather quickly once a bullshit threshold is reached.
Thresholds differ among systems. It can be argued that Southeast Asian systems have more robust thresholds, bolstered by their ‘face saving’ cultures (to use a grossly misused term) which actually demand a certain amount of well-intentioned bullshit.
But most western-based systems ultimately fail, particularly if they are borrowed by non-Western cultures. Many of the people in your comment are refered to in the past tense. Perhaps this is evidence of it?
As for lie detectors . . . yes, you can trick them but to say they won’t work unless you understand someone’s culture is wrong. All you have to do is get baseline answers to similar questions where you know whether the answer is true or false. Lying causes certain involuntary physical responses that someone skilled enough can suppress. Think of it like holding your breath. Breathing is an involuntary physical reaction caused by CO2 levels in your bloodstream being too high. You can suppress your desire to take a breath. If you know exactly what the machine is measuring and how to counter your body’s natural response you can fool it as well.
That being said, they’re fairly good at catching lies in those who aren’t skilled at fooling the system.
I’m currently banging a hot Thai woman who is married to a Japanese man who is in Japan. She is here with her 2 kids living with her family.
I feel sorry for her husband, but too bad for him to leave her alone.
