Just think, with today’s roids and viagra, he could live another 30 years!  We might read of another 3 or 4 more similar reunions from this couple.

  • Try reading the article again.   Married for 20 years , lost contact for 3 years.   No email address and no phone number. Pretty odd.

    Typical farang? Old man comes to Thailand, hooks up with a Thai babe, lives with her, then goes home.   Give him/them a break OK? He is from a time before modern media and just may

I don't know, the guy is pretty old - maybe has no idea how to use E mail, and not that long ago up here in Chiang Mai, we had absolutely NO Telephones in our entire village (over 5 years)

When I was back in the UK a few years back I set up Gmail, Skype and Facebook for my mother (she is an extremely sprightly creature of 80) After I left, she has not even tried to use one of these methods to communicate. A lot of the older generation just will not touch this stuff.

I have a different problem. I'm pushing 85 and my wife tries to get me off it. But she, like most of the world now is glued to her mobile phone.

Everytime has to be someone Like dcpatts, ignorant comments.

I wonder if she remarried since they were apart twenty years and there was no communication or financial support.

I hope he can stay in Thailand now.

 

You're not only extremely narrow-minded, but you can't read. The OP says they have been

separated for 3 years while he was receiving medical treatment back home.

If you actually took the time to read the post properly...

They were married for twenty years... separated for only three years due to his sickness!!!

At 99 I doubt he's 100% lucid and probably doesn't use the internet so trying to contact of find his wife would have been extremely difficult. We also don't know how long his illness lasted.  At 99 years old the guy has travelled to Thailand, gone to the police and asked for their assistance to find his wife - sorry but that's a hell of a feat for a 99 year old in my book.

 

No need for so much negativity!

Well, i abit gotta agree here...

 

For those of you who think you can't find real love, you can.  It's just up to you to find whatever you're looking for.

 

My wife is a great person, who has never asked for money and whom I love very much.  After being mistreated by white Americans, Europeans, a Hong Kong girl, a Korean, etc. I've learned it doesn't matter where you're from.  It matters who you're with. You can find her too, if you just take your time to find the right person instead of frequenting Soi Cowboy or Pattaya Walking Street.

Yes she doesn't ask money because you give her before she asks...

 

Very easy to guess when a guy has been mistreated by any biatch in this world. It never happened and will never happen to me, the one with balls is me, this is why I do not date ladyboy$hit !

Really?  You're making some pretty bold assumptions about my wife.

No ! About you yes...

 

 

  I hope they'll be happy until the end of his days. I truly hope that he doesn't cause her health problems when they reunite in bed. Could be extremely dangerous for her after such a long time. ?

I'm not sure if you're serious or not.  It's near Asoke, my wife worked at an office building near there.  Go visit once but never go back, it's just a cesspool for people looking for cheap sex.

I cried.

 

No, I didn't.

What a complete and utter nonsense.
Being married for 20 years - and he hasn't got her address?!
Probably the ONLY reason for 'his bride' to reunite is the fact that he is <deleted> soon...

Jesus Christ!

Ya know, I only read the first page, and already I just see how low & bottom of the barrel this forum can go. People just have nothing good to say about anything, yet they still insist on getting a daily dig in.

 Get a life!

..... and the tinfoil hat brigade are at it again- why not just be happy for the guy.

With reference to this and your other comments - you should be taken out and shot.

Lovely story, Nice and refreshing to hear she was happy to be reunited and make his last days a happy send off.

One of the many happier stories from Thailand, I am sure this goes on a lot. Glad to see and thanks Thai Visa for the assistance 

... good for them. However just wondering should Thai Immigration set a clause on when a Farang turns 100 they become exempt from doing 365 day extensions and the 90 day reports also.  Now that would be such a great introduction to show that Thai Immigration really do have a caring nature. Those official faces just crack me up every time I’ve gotta go and visit the authoritarian ^*%#^^ !!!

I do not love anyone and I am very happy to use them for what I need them.

I also never failed in the west like most people here...
