My gf's parents have a small farm in Roiet and are more or less living from that.
When my gf was working in the factory in BKK she sent 3k home to her parents.
So when it started to get serious between us I said I was willing to send her family 4k monthly and they all seem to be more than happy with that.
When we took my gf's little sister down to Phuket for a few weeks last school-holiday, her parents called and said we didnt have to send money that month
(all numbers in THB of cause)
My gf dont have a salary from the bar, but when we go shopping once or twice a week she of cause always gets what she needs to have a normal life.....
We get phone-calls from some lazy familymembers or friends asking to borrow money now and then, but she always turns them down..........So far all good
