Here comes an update....

The missing husband returned home yesterday. Like a wreck. He said that he totally broke it off with the other woman....she (the other woman, not my friend) had gone total crazy...trying to kill herself....blablabla....my friend and her husband will try again....it seems like he got himself a total lifecrises...and I guess that many men in their middle ages tend to seek comfort in a younger women??? I hope that they can get help...In Europe you can get counselling but I don't know how easy it is to get that here. I really feel for my friend and it made me really think about my own marriage. I think that it's so important not to take eachother for granted.....and it made me appriciate my family even more.

Just heard the most heartbreaking news...

A friend of mine called me...wondering if I have seen her husband....He vansihed 6 days ago. He has not called her or anyone else in the family. They have been together for 16 years. She is farang, he is thai. They live with their 2 sons and the husbands family. They have a sucessful business. And all of a sudden he is gone. They have called all hospitals, checked everywere and he is nowere to be found. To the story is that he told his wife that he had a mistress (Thai, 21 years old). This was 3 months ago. He had ended the affair and he was very sorry for the whole thing. The mistress called my girl friend day and night and the calls ended 6 ago. So my friend suspects that he has went to this woman. I feel so bad for her and the family. I also know the husband and I know him as a loving husband anf father who would do anything for his family. He is a hardworker who built up the sucessful family business from nothing.....this is very strange! I live far away from my friend...is so much want to give her support and positive energy...but really do not know what to say!!! Advice anyone!!!

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good dermatologist in BKK.

Thank you!!!

I'm in desperate need of dark fiber-rich flour. I live in the middle of nowhere but I'm heading to Bangkok shortly. Foodland? Villa Market? If anyone knows...pls tell

I am very sad and upset at the moment and really don't know what to do!

This is the situation:

My husband(thai) and I(farang) and our 1year old recently moved back to Thailand after many years living in Europe.

In our new business we emloyed my husbands younger sister and her husband. This was 6 months ago. The thing is that they have a son and a daughter and for some reason they didn't follow the parents. They stayed with their grandparents. We asked them (parents) about the kids and they just replied that they would come after a couple of weeks. But they didn't come. Me and my husband arranged that they could start school here and so on.....but still no kids...we have asked many times but still......no kids. They talk on the phone and such and the children finally came here during new year. And after that they were sent back to their grandparents. The new deal is that they will come here after Songkran! Me and my husband don't understand a thing!?

The kids who are aged 6 and 8 and really want's to stay here. I have talked to them about that but I can't understand why the parents doesn't take them here. And today the blow came. My husbands sister asked me when I was going to send my little girl away for bordingschool in Bangkok! I told her that my doughter was going to stay with her parents. She just looked at me, laughed and said: Farangstyle. And I just lost it.

I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND! This women is an amazing and loving person....but what about the KIDS. They are really hurting.

We have 3 other couples with kids working with us...and the situation is the same. Families far away...grandparents taking care of the kids...and so on!

I just had to let that one out...now I am going to take my farangstyle ass out of here and take a bath with my babygirl!

Hi there Webby!

I live in Central-East Thailand, up in the mountains of the Chantaburi province.

How about yourself? Where do you live?

Take care

Thank you for the tip, Ned.

ABout Soi Dao. It really is amazing out here. Mountains, waterfalls, great people...and still Chantaburi City and the sea 60 km away. We are about 2 hours away from Koh Chang. And..we get good, fresh and cheap cheap fruit all year around!

It's really a great place to visit! And to live!

Take care

Had a great steak at the Chokchai Farm (Khao Yai) on the way to BKK.

Expensive? Yes!

Tasty? Oh yes!

Service? ehhh...what's that!

Surroundings? Terrific!

Thank you everyone!!!

This forum is amazing. Why didn't I find this before??? Anyways..this is my story shortly....met my husband 10 years ago. Lived down in the islands for 2 years...then my husband got a good job in Europe...and we lived there ...until this summer...and now we are back. Our girl is 1 year old. We live in the Soi Dao Highlands, Chantaburi.

Everything is great...but still...the lack of friends starts to feel. Sure, my husband is my best friend...but..well...you know what I mean.

It's great to know that you guys are out there.

Are there any farangwomen that lives out in the countryside? Central or north? Maybe with kids?

I feel a bit isolated and it would be great to share thoughts and such!!!

There are no farangs around here...and I need to ventilate!!!!
