While we always hear about the "bad ones", as far as I'm concerned, overall they are the minority. At least in my opinion and experience. My own story - I was married for 28 wonderful years to the most incredible woman I've ever known. She died in 1999 of cancer, which left me devastated. I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would ever love or marry again.

In 2006 I came to Thailand on vacation, as I'd done before with my wife, but this time came north to Chiang Mai, where I'd never been before. At the hotel where i was staying I met a beautiful woman who, I thought, was about 30, but turned out to be 47, 10 years younger than me. We talked, and when I returned to Arizona, we kept in contact by messenger, emails and phone calls. I made two more trips here to see her over the next 6 months. On the 3rd one we got married and bought a house. I had to go back to the States for a while to straighten some things up with the VA and SS over my pensions, but came back in Jan of 2007 and have been here ever since.

My wife, while lacking a college degree, is one of the top sales reps/agents for Siam Commercial Life in all of Chiang Mai province. We have a beautiful home, car, motorbikes, and everything a man could want or need. We have a marriage, and relationship, that is almost as good as the one I had with my first wife, with respect for each other, as well as total trust in one another. And I'm not alone in this, as I know others who have found their "perfect wife" as well, and couldn't ask for a better life. So, hats off to the good ones we never hear about.

I am very happy for you to have met 2 wonderful woman. Would u say it was luck? Or good things just happen to good people?

thanks for the info travel dog, i'm checking it round the clock hope can get this interview date settled. I was worried about the actual interview but just making an appointment is so difficult.... no use complaining anyway and good luck to everyone whose in the same boat as me

Hey guys,

I applied for a tourist visa for my girlfriend in Dec 2010 but we still can't book an interview date. Wait times on its website says 15days but its over a month now and its still fully booked till march. Everyday I log in and I've contacted the embassy and they only ask us to wait and keep trying. On the DS-160 form there was an Intended date of traveling which we filled in as January 25th 2011 will it affect her application since that date passed already?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

JoshGuu
