MP urges Thai women: Marry a farang for an easier life
By Coconuts Bangkok on 28.08.2012 at 5:28 pm

A Thai MP has gotten into hot water over his controversial suggestion for poor Thai women who want an easy life: “find a farang husband.”

Pheu Thai MP Sunai Julphongsathorn’s words caused a barrage of complaints on Thai web forums after a clip of his comments (embedded below) surfaced on YouTube recently.

The 12-minute video was apparently shot on August 19 at a seminar at a school in Samut Prakan.

Sunai tells the audience of around 1,000 red shirts to find a farang husband for an easy life “because European governments give you everything for free.”

Sunai went on: “Get a German husband. Get a Swedish husband. Get a Norwegian husband. People used to love [Thailand] unreservedly. But the more they loved the country, the poorer they got. The more they loved the country, the stupider they got.”

“All you need is a farang husband and their government will pay you to study,” he said.

Even more controversially, he then implied that the best way to study a foreign language was by sleeping with a foreigner.

“Sitting studying is too slow. Lie down to study, then go to the hospital. They will pay you to have the baby… It’s all free, right up to the shitty diapers.”

Many web users were furious at Sunai’s comments. They said they were highly inappropriate coming from an MP, particularly one in the Pheu Thai Party whose prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, had become the first woman to administer the country.

Sunai later told reporters that he had never meant to insult Thai women. He just wanted to show Thais how far behind their welfare state was when compared with European countries.

He said he had been saying such things for some time and it was because he wanted Thailand to have a welfare system that was the equal of those in other countries, where education and maternity services are free.

I'm surprised that he was actually insulting thai women for asking them to marry a farang when most of them actually do that to escape poverty. The thai woman marrying or dating a foreigner is so commonplace that it's really nothing.

Are you ang moh or not?

If not never mind lah you can pretend to be thai.

This really insults ang moh men cos it shows that thai ladies marry them not cos of love.

Jah, honestly speaking, my thinking more or less Thai liaoz. There is this girl that I like but rejected me cos' me already have gf liaoz. I even offer to open a clothing store for her but she die die also don't want. How? Me heartbroken lah. No one has ever rejected me like this. And because of this girl, I will be going for a long holiday in the North.

No choice, need to forget. However, it's nice to be heartbroken. Make me feel young once again.

What? She has gf liao? So she's a lesbian? Why not you try and dress like a girl maybe can win her.

Anyway i just find it laughable that they find that insulting to thai women. I mean if thai women don't want ot marry or date ang moh what can they do? It's weird that he's condemned for speaking the truth.
