Dear Hillary,
What do you do about wandering wives? It seems to me that Thai women are all worried about the man playing up, but they are just as likely to be having a little something on the side. How many times have you been told about some chap’s Thai GF having a Thai BF on the side? I can think of lots. We have a phrase ‘What’s sauce for the goose is good for the gander’, and I don’t think the Thai women really understand this. Or am I wrong?

Dear Shaun,
Why does anyone have a little fling? Forget about men and women, Thais or foreigners, it is in human nature. Usually this happens when there is something lacking in the partnership, but just as often it is just to add a little ‘spice’ to life, and Thai women do like their ‘spice’, don’t they!
I get the feeling from your email that you have suspicions that your Thai wife (or GF) is wandering. I don’t believe there is much gained by having her followed, but there is more to gain by looking at yourself and how you contribute to the partnership, and I don’t mean financially. Too many farangs seem to think that if they pay their GF money each month, that means they have done everything necessary, and don’t need to do any more. If you are looking for a maid to sleep with, then that’s what you’ll get, but if you are looking for a life’s partner you must stop thinking about “wages”.
“Sauce for the goose is good for the gander”? Garlic and pepper is nice, but even a Panang may suit.
