12 step program

Anyone know a good way for me to forget about my trip to Thailand and get back to work, cause if I spend anymore time at this site or checking the webcam, I'm going to snap.

Nahh, but I do vaguely remember agreeing to a 10 million baht dowry once we got the 'bar talk' books from Nicke

Actually, I don't remember you agreeing but I do remember the look of astonishment on your face.

How does that work anyway, I have been assured that half of the dowery would be gifted back to the couple as a wedding present. Not that I talked about it or anything.

Haha, yeah.
I can just hear the conversation - "You're a rich farang, have some money back"
I think I told you (but luckily not her!) that I could afford 10 million - too many shots Nicke!

good stuff i will be marrying in august so i am either taking the life sentance or what the f**k have i done.

the dowry i am paying is ok, but not huge, the chosen one, is young, innocent and never leave the village.

but i say to her family in my talks in my poor thai with them, is i will not support or condone lazy f**king thais.

so the pigs i buy for them as a try out have suceeded, my share of the money has been deposited to my thai bank account, and the money i have in joint account with gf has never been touched.

Dont think of it like that, have been married nearly 10 years and never regretted any minute of it, well there was that curry once, but its great. And the good thing about it was, that my wifes dad didnt want a bloody thing when we were married, only for her to be happy.

I offered the dowry steve, we never discussed it before the proposal, her father asked her if she wanted to marry me, to which she replied yes.

I offered the dowry because i can afford to do it. But the work ethic seems strong in her family.

drunks are not tolerated at the house no matter who they are. (1 exeception me)

i sorry to say i have to agree with nicke,i too used to suffer badly when i returned home,eventually i realised it was spending to much time here and it made me remember all the good times.i started to stop visiting the site many times daily and just 2-3 times a week,believe me it helped me,now i dont suffer the blues as bad and time seems to go a lot quicker.

No rich007, she had a big trip to khon kaen 1 time and nong khai to visit her aunt.

I am taking her to bkk, and phuket so she can see more than 3 farang in a group and thais who do not speak issan.

so the big culture shock awaits her, tassie is the same as a thai village everyone is related and many look the same,
but the weather is about 20 degrees colder.

if she survives the spring maybe the winter will not be to much of a shock.

i think the heating bills will go up 300%.

Where and how did you find a girl who has never been to a city, save once to KK, and once to Nong Khai? How old is she? Does she speak any English or do you speak Thai or Isaan?

the aunt in nong khai visits has been a few times not once only.

on the internet, and she has been undertaking english lessons for 3 months.

two of her aunts are teachers with moderate english skills, so they also help with her language development.

I speak some moderate thai and my issan skills are improving with practice.

90% of our phone conversations, are conducted in thai. which makes it slow and hard work for me, but it is worth it.

she attends english lessons for 16 hours a week now, upon arrival in oz she has work organized through one of my family members and will continue english lessons at night through qualified teachers within my family.
