Falangs 50+ to be barred from marrying?

[f0xxee]

[I]Y'all,

Please see the attached from Thai-geezer today....

I am thinking it is an April Fools day joke.

Or the Minister for the interior has a particularly sharp sense of irony!

Quote:

"I am concerned that these people are attempting to circumvent the rules by marrying innocent Thai women. If these people don't have enough money to retire then they shouldn't be here and become a burden to Thailand," Tawatchai Suksoom of the Ministry of Interior stated."

its the use of the word "innocent" that makes me think this is a joke!

ThaiVisa.com always does one or two of these for April Fools posts. The clientelle these is reipe for things like this.

Oh they are so ripe! Up to nine pages of fury, disbelief, angst, racist diatribe and a couple of wiser heads suggesting that other posters check the date.

Personally as a ladyboy lover it affects me not: But if they did do it, it would save a lot of the dopey falangs who really do believe they are "hansum man" at 65 from being fleeced and going home to Blighty (or Aus or BumFuck Idaho) with their worldly goods in a Tesco bag.

Works for me, an easy way out.

judging from the spokesman's name "Tawatchai Suksoom" ...

The Cambodian started this off due to to South Koreans snatching the woman. It was in the news two weeks ago in Europe . 70% of GG in Cambo who marry abroad go to Koreans and the govt is fucked off about it for some reason.

In Cambodia it will be made law. Thailand could well follow the example as may other countries
