Reader question: The book “Thailand Fever” and cultural differences

The fact that many Thai women dream of material things, money, gifts and houses is in principle often not due to the Thai women, but to the Farang, who largely cause and support this expectation pattern themselves.
An expectation that speaks itself out and is often made visible, and is already seen by many as the only key to achieve something.
Often it is farang who are digging their own relationship grave, because they believe they have to make up for age differences or other shortcomings with money, gifts, etc.
Often the fiction of these women is also used, that you must prove your true love only in this way.
Just clear wine, and also setting fair boundaries for the family, prevents being degraded as a cash cow.
If this clear wine and fair boundaries do not fall on fertile soil, and you continue to think with your middle leg and not with your head, you bear the greatest blame yourself, contrary to what is said afterwards.

The book is intended to start the discussion between the lovers. Not to indicate the differences in black and white. That is not the reality. That is why it is also bilingual so that everyone can read what it is about in his / her own native language. And then discuss how you understand each other. That gives nice and interesting insights into each other's culture.
