Bagging a farang

More than threefifths of women in the Northeast surveyed in an Isaan poll said they wanted to marry farang husbands, mainly because of their wealth, faithfulness and respect for women.

Of 484 women living in 19 northeastern provinces surฌveyed in March and April, 61 per cent said they deemed Western men rich, 53 per cent said they thought farang men were kind and respected women more than Thai men, while 16 per cent said they wanted to marry and live abroad.

Englishmen were the favourites, gaining 32 per cent of respondents' votes, while Americans and Germans trailed behind with 21 and eight per cent respectively.

The survey found that women who were already married to foreign husbands spent a large portion (20 per cent) of their monthly income on electricity and water bills as their homes tended to be large and full of domestic appliances - another factor that attracted single, northeastern women.

Obvious why Germans only rank third: because german language is neither a mandatory subject in schools here nor is it offered at all. And it's important to be able to talk for "bagging". But what is the preference of Brits over Americans caused by? Could it be a lower life expectancy or tattoos being attractive?

Thais call Brits 'poo dee' (good people). Just goes to show that some people will believe anything!
