Are you sitting comfortably..............

Kees,

I kept out of this subject previously as it seemed to go Off Topic very quickly

In answer to your specific question my wife sends her mother 8000 THB per month to support her son (he does not live with us) and to help pay for a motorbike bought with a loan and other living expenses.

I personally think that 7000 THB towards living expenses is not excessive.

The point was Mike, that Kees never made it clear exactly what the 7000bt was for.

"2. She is staying with her daughter (4years) with family now, which are asking her 7000 Baht/month to stay there. Is that a reasonable price?"

This is largely what has led to the all out assault by some posters.

If indeed the money is used in similar fashion to your 8000 a month, this begs the question of whether she is an only child, and making the sole contribution, or whether other siblings have opted out of helping the family because a "rich" farang has appeared on the scene!

What was she contributing before Kees arrived from her "work bar no go with farangs" job. Probably next to nothing! And if the family have a rice shop in Phimai, do they really need an extra 7000bt a month?

Nick,

I really do not want to get into a discussion about this as al I wanted to do is to answer the question, However is Kees last post on this subject he clarifed enough for me to understand by stating.

The question was simple: is 7000 baht/month a normal fee for cost and living.

I may be wrong on this but this is the cost of living for her and her son living in the parental house and if she was not living there then there would be nothing to pay. Perhaps Kees could clarify this rather than everyone ass-u-me-ing something different

Mike

PS - Just to clarify one point the 8000THB that my wife gives her family for support as I outlined previously is her money that she gets from her job and is not my money.

I agree that Kees last post does make things clearer than his first post.

The question asked -is it reasonable, does rather depend on who else is chipping in, or shirking their responsibilities because it is felt that Kees can do the necessary.

Its all fabrication

Its all fabrication

The OP's post or his GF's story ?

Is this soap still running ?!?

Surely if the GF is selling either fertiliser, or rice -or whatever, it would be in her, and Kees interest to tell BE members where the shop is so that those interested might make a purchase.

Give him a break!

He put his comment and that's it. If I was him I wouldn't tell you the girlfriend exact address either!

[den Buut]

Kees seems to be more sure it's true now, beceause of Tommo, so who are we, or some of us to still doubt his girl or Kees his story?

[smithy99]

Because there isnt one
