  1. How ignorant of the "most Thai parents don't know, etc" I met my wife at a disco. She was introduced by a

    Thai waitress I knew. She was reluctant to dance with me but I encouraged her and we had a good time. Later we went to my place and proceeded to disagree on what was supposed to transpire. I assumed it was to roll in the sack, etc. but she seemed shy to this. Eventually, she decided to leave and leave she did. The next day I went to where she was a waitress and forced 500 Baht on her and left to my own bar. Eventually, things became more intimate and 27 years later she is no longer shy with me. She had two children, boys aged 5 and 6 and Mr. Thai husband was long gone. I visited her village in Ayutthaya and met her mother, dad long buried. Soon after, she moved in with me and the rest is history. We were married and she accompanied me on a visit to the USA and where I was working in Saudi Arabia. 

  2. Not to brag but Thailand's poor medical system provided me with a faultless double heart by-pass, removal of a basal cell carcinoma, 9 weeks in the King's Hospital where my prostate cancer was cured, outstanding follow-on care for heart monitoring, specialist doctors of the highest caliber. Don't cry to

    everyone about "bad" Thailand. Please don't plead the "go-fund-me" every time you failed to provide for yourself, your wife and your children. Twenty years of service earned me my Tricare insurance plus post-service jobs the necessary nest egg. Don't come to Thailand direct from your local pub and think Thailand will care for you. Fact is Thailand does provide free care even for poor expats.
