The one thing that has blighted this, is the GF's point blank refusal to live in rented accomodation. In the past I picked up on LivinLOS's point of view about renting being the best way in Thailand as it's a lot less risky etc and agreed. However GF won't entertain the idea at all. Perhaps it has something to do with the "face" issue and she's worried about what people would say just living in a rented place whilst she has a farang ATM in tow !?!

I hate to point out the obvious, and this isnt any form of dig.. But the reason of course is that you then need to buy her a house
!! Theres no (or nearly no) mortgage (how you spell that !!) and you cant own it !!
So shes flat out refusing to accept anything other than 'buy me a house'.. Not the most origional of techniques
!! Of course it shows commitment from you and intent to be serious with her.. But its still buying her a house !!!
Dont need to tell you.. Just make sure you call the shots and take care.
