Hi Hillary,
I have to tell you a typical story of relationship between farang and Thai girl which I witnessed. I was on the car-taxi traveling along Beach Road and across of me sat a British man very old at least 90 with a young girl 22 to 25. The man kept talking to her and even me, American, had problem understanding what he said with his heavy accent not to mention that she didn’t understand a word. The girl just smile and hold his sucker hand very tight. Her fingers were full of gold plus wedding band. This is how I red (sic) her face and her thinking: “I married this old fart and he won’t die, I hope he die soon so I can get all his money. When he die my family and I will have a big celebration. He probably think I am stupid, he is right, but I will hire a very smart lawyer who will get me all his money.”
Any old man can hire a live in aid who will do the same work as wife. Wouldn’t an old foolish man prefer that his money will go to his children? This old man think that by marrying her she will have to have sex with him which an aid would not.
What sex? At your age you can not perform and if you use a helpful drug you might die from heart attack and then back to the celebrating wife.

Dear George,
You, my Petal, are certainly the most judgmental person I know. Just what is wrong with your 90 year old enjoying his money in his retirement? These children of his that you say the 90 year old would prefer to give his money to are all 60-70 years old themselves. They get the pension and can spend their own money on wine, women and song. And how do you know our nonagenarian can’t perform? Leave him alone to enjoy his 25 year old girlfriend. But your letter does remind me of the 70 year old walking down the street with a 17 year old. When his mates all asked how did he end up with such a beauty he replied, “It was easy, I lied about my age. I told her I was 90.”
