Recently I stumbled across a documentary about a Thai matrimonial agency that looked to pair up Thai girls with foreign (read Western) men. As you can imagine it’s down to money.
I remember seeing a similar documentary when I was a child and being absolutely disgusted by these vile overweight old men lusting after young pretty Thai girls. Though this is quite well known, isn’t it? I don’t’ need to go into the details about how horrible this is, I’m sure you’re aware of it.
I will point out though in the documentary I saw recently the matrimonial agency, when describing the merits of Thai women mentioned that they ‘don’t have the hang ups of equality driven Western women’ and ‘never get a headache.’ I mentally threw up reading that one.
Now you may say that the old men are doing these girls a favour by marrying them and taking them out of poverty and hardship, but my recent epiphany indicates a fallacy in this: if money is the issue how about helping them to work their way out of poverty????? Fund their education, build offices, buy their products if they work in a factory (if you’re stingy). That would show your real affection for Thai women, and it would come from the head and not your…well you can imagine what word goes there.
Someday I may just start up a charity to do so (but I need to find out how much school and university costs in Thailand). A big middle finger to all these vile perverts who wouldn’t stand a chance with these women if the playing field was more level. I could go on about my feelings towards these disgusting individuals but that would be counterproductive. Let’s just say if anyone tried it in my family, they would be treated in the manner fitting their vile superficiality and using the downstairs brain.
UPDATE: As I was writing this article I Googled any groups that are doing anything like the charity I want to set up, but several thai bride websites came up (annoyed grunt). However there is hope: I found a well known NGO called Development and Education Programme for Daughters and Communities (DEPDC), their website is:

They’re looking to stop child prostitution, which is highly important, but is not quite what I want to fund. I suppose that people would gravitate towards this option if they were interested in bettering themselves rather than wealth but I will think about my foundation nonetheless just in case there are young women out there who feel that they have no option other than to partake in this ‘sanctimonious’ prostitution.
