tom_a Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hi All, My aussie wife and Iplan to relocate to Chiang Mai, or rather on the outskirts of the city. My wife was wondering if there are other western women living in the region. We realize that most of the expats have found the love of their life, which more often than not would be a Thai lady. So, just out of curiosity, we wondered about the number of women from Australia, Canada, or the U.S.? Any replies, as always, is appreciated. Sincerely, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Tom Although I am not a participant, I have on many occasions seen quite a number of young foreign families going to the Christian church on Charoenrat Road as well as dining at a nearby restaurant. There are a lot of NGO families here as well as missionaries so if that sort of lifestyle suits you I don't think your wife will have any trouble meeting new friends.

earlofwindermere Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I'm part of the NGO world and there are a lot of expat women/spouses here. The NGO circle is fairly big but I have also heard from friends that there are over 5000 missionaries (including their kids) in the area as well. Most of the expats I meet are American but I do know a lot of Germans and Canadians as well. My wife (a Canadian) belongs to a few groups of expat women - play groups and a tennis group. I don't think it would be too difficult to find others here with similar interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Tom Hi Tom , It would do both of your hearts good to get to the CM Expats Club to see the great expansion in both activity and membership over the past year. You may both find more "westerners" than you ever imagined with a number of Special Interest Groups flourishing within the membership. The Club meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at the Orchid Hotel , Huay Kaew Rd. One floor above entrance level. Meetings start at 10.30 a.m. Get there at 10.00 . Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
