Maybe it was the use of the phrase "married to a Thai wife" that inspired the joke, don't take things too seriously............

Haha, I think just saying "woman" can be enough, unless of course your Arabic then you can say "women".

Some people moan about freedom of speech in Singapore but I'll bet real money you kiss your wife or girlfriend at some romantic spot overlooking the city you won't go to jail for your efforts.

Am sure holding hands won't get you imprisoned either...

I wonder if co-habiting and consensual adult sex is illegal in Singapore?

So the important things in life are sex and the Daily Mail?

Yes we should take things too seriously but it does seem rather presumptious and rude to ask if your Mrs was a mail order bride because she's Thai...in fact where I come from making untowards comments about someone's wife is generally fighting talk.

It's amazing how big some people's balls grow when hiding behind a keyboard

if u want a serious relationship don't worry, the girl's family won't be hunting you down to lob your head off.

if u want something more casual then there is much variety to choose from!

Nope, the important things in life are family, sex, decent booze and good friends.

I don't read the Daily Mail or any other newspaper...I get all my news from the internet and factual places like Britishexpats.com

My point exactly...in Dubai there are laws prohibiting sex outside of marriage and marriage between non-Muslim men and Muslim women...there are also laws which basically prohibit kissing and hold hands in public which are sometimes enforced (usually when some miserable sod with nothing better to do complains about other humans showing affection).
