 Here is an update from our friends Paul and Kan, a little more than a year after we first heard their story. Things seem to be continuing to go well for a very dedicated Thai Farang couple!

It’s been two years and six months now since I first met my wife on the internet (shock horror) an interesting time for both of us I‘m sure, sometimes confusing, often annoying and frustrating, but always “interesting”.
I’m from the UK and live and work there, Kan was from Loei, North East Thailand but has lived in Bangkok since the age of 14 after moving there for better paid work and to study for her degree.
After reading all the “horror stories” before I came I’m still amazed that there have really been no problems between us, no lies, cheating , money lending, gambling , other relationships or any of the other problems I had read about before my first visit. (Kan has been quite good too!!)
Good Thai women like this DO exist and what you read mainly is the unhappy few and what you don’t hear about are the happy thousands. Bad news sells period!
So how have things been with us?? At first, I had planned to come and live in Bangkok full time, visa laws were relatively lax and there was no problem. Then later in 2006 many visa changes were introduced making it more difficult and so we decided I would carry on working for a few more years here in Great Britain, with Kan building up our business in Bangkok. That way we will be able to save up for a house, etc.

The Paris trip ended with more sightseeing and running around, and we flew back to Germany on the 6th of May. I had some things to take care of in Wiesbaden (at the US Military installation) so upon landing we drove directly there from the airport.
