A funny story was posted on social media this week by a Thai woman whose relationship with her American fiancé took a turn for the worse. The lovebirds met in Thailand and before long they were engaged. They talked about the future and decided they would be better off in the United States. They applied for a fiancée visa for her which was eventually issued, and they travelled to the USA with plans to get married within a few months. Everything had been great when they were in Thailand, but in the USA there was a problem – and for the lady it was a big problem. Where her American fiancé had showered twice a day in hot Thailand, in the cool climes of USA in Winter he didn’t shower twice a day. In fact, some days he didn’t shower at all. This didn’t work for her. She explained to him that Thai people shower at least twice a day. He countered that they were now in the USA, it was not hot like Thailand and in Winter in the USA it was not necessary to shower twice a day, or even every day. Thai women can be very sensitive about personal hygiene and for many, an unclean man is the ultimate turn-off. He was given an ultimatum – shower every day or I go back to Thailand. He didn’t, and so she did! Back in Thailand, she posted about her experience – and pretty much every Thai agreed with her.
