NextStationBangkok Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Looks like Emile a jackpot back home, and come to lose here. Anyhow no one can stop, since Thai Airways brought him here. Rest of the life be happy, but send a post card picture with your wife to ThaiVisa. We would like to see how beautiful match you couple are. Thank you Sir.

Paul944 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 3 years ago he just left without even writing down the address or phone number of his wife. He probably also did not have a picture of her and wants to see if his memory of her was correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least one could say not a common story as far as the figures are concerned, do we know how old is the "bride"? It says in the article that she’s an elderly lady, but does it really matter what age she is? Hopefully they are finally reunited for their last years together.

But if I follow you, so we have the right to express ourselves only for important matters, my post was in no way disrespectful, as I said it is not a common story as far as the figures are concerned, only him at 99 years old coming back in Thailand to see his wife not see for 3 years, her probably not knowing if he was dead or alive, all that would make material for a novel! So I asked myself how old his wife could be, was she 20 years younger she would be 79 already it was sheer spontaneous curiosity... It seems like it did not please to an amateur mod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes and a happy twilight to your life, Sir. I have had my three score years and ten and at 99 years of age, I think M'sieur Emile Georges Jean-Petit-Matile has reached the stage where he's seen twilight's last gleaming and is about to see his wife by the dawn's early light. Thais culturally, and generally, have a respect for their elders and it seems he has the respect of all around him. May you sir have many successful 90 day reports ahead of you. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply answered your question and added, does it really matter her exact age. No attempt at being an amateur mod on my part. However that was quite a lengthy re-explanation you just sent defending your first comments which really was only making a mention about her age. It certainly didn’t hint that you could make a best selling novel about them. Now if I hit that little nerve in the brain which controls the attempts at immature comedy but now feeling guilty function then it was pure accidental. I do apologise for any hurt or embarrassment caused to your good self old chap. Have a wonderful evening. Please refrain from any attempts to continue this dialogue. Let’s just agree to wish the elderly couple happiness in their future time together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyman58 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Correct no effort to contact him. Prob was very faithful I would say. like lots of Thai ladies. Tears of joy I would say when they said he was looking for her and she knew his age and how much cash he had.

The least one could say not a common story as far as the figures are concerned, do we know how old is the "bride"? The Thai Workpointnews.com website reported the story today. Apparently his wife is 70 years old. They posted the below picture, uncaptioned. Presumably she's the lady in red. They also said the Thai Tourist police arranged for and paid for his airfare over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might surprise you to know that some time it is quite difficult for a Thai lady to get a visa to travel to Europe - especially if her husband is quite old and returning for medical treatment! And after 20 years I would say that it worked quite well - you get FAR less for murder here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
