Hi there, thought I better introduce myself, though I must confess I am only a wannabe expat at present and don’t get online that often.
I live in New Zealand with my Thai wife of six years. I’d been to Thailand a couple times as a soldier on leave when I met the missus. Bringing her home after my third trip was the smartest move I ever made, though in hindsight I got real lucky cos nearly every Thai woman we’ve met over here since has turned out to be a twisted fuckin gold digger.
Anyway, we (that is to say she), bought seven acres this year, near her family’s farm.
A rubber plantation by the Mekong, just south of Narkon Panohm. And it’s my intention to retire there one day; Though that day is still more years away than I care to count : (
Great site you have here anyway. I’ve already had a few chuckles out of your antics in this neck of the woods and gleaned a better idea of the reality for falangs living in Thailand. “Forewarned is forearmed”
Cheers, Teak door!
