I recognize some of this behavior with my girlfriend, at times. My girlfriend is Thai and she has a Thai fried who got married with an English guy (about 10 years older than me). Also I know several retirees near my with Thai wives and they all do quite well on their pensions. So while I as a “younger” guy (41 years old) still work a lot, she sees photos on social media of the retirees travelling. Or the English guy buying expensive gifts for his girlfriend. We’re not in the same position, but by Thai standards we are still very well off. We don’t have the time to travel (our 6 year old daughter needs to go to school and I am not rich). But where many families here in Thailand are struggling with perhaps 25.000 THB per month (on 2 incomes) and still have to pay rents, loans and/or mortgages, I provide my girlfriend with at least 50.000 THB per month and we don’t have any debt. And I make quite a bit more still, but I need some money for investing, birthday gifts, car insurance, pay school terms for our daughter, rent a room in the city for work, etcetera. We also got a farm on a nice plot of land (5000 m2) and 2 houses and a swimming pool. In the eyes of most villagers we are rich. At times I wish my girlfriend would look less at social media. Doesn’t see what she thinks she is missing out on and sees what she actually got and how well she is doing compared to most people around us.
