Reprieve for expelled Thai wife

Dean Kirby

BACK HOME: Salisa with son Varich

LOVELORN Ralph Oakes-Garnett was celebrating today after being told that his Thai wife will be allowed to return to Britain.

Ex-nurse Ralph, 52, advanced his marriage to Salisa Yucharoen when they discovered she was having a baby last year.

But he and their now seven-month-old son, Varich, were left in Britain when Salisa was told to return to Bangkok while officials decided whether to grant her a settlement visa.

Now Thai authorities have said she will be allowed back to live with Ralph at Diggle, Saddleworth, Oldham, for at least two years. Ralph hopes she will then be allowed to stay permanently.

He told the M.E.N: "She can come home straight away. I'm so glad it's all been sorted out. We went through ######."

Ralph, who used to manage an intensive-care unit, was introduced to hairdresser Salisa, 36, by a friend while visiting Thailand in 2001.

RELIEVED: Husband Ralph

They travelled around the country together and she kept in touch after he returned to Britain some months later.

Romance blossomed when he revisited Thailand and Salisa realised she was having a baby when she came to Britain on a short-term visa last year. She had signed an official undertaking not to marry after leaving her home city of Trat.

But the couple decided to advance their marriage, and wed in Oldham last March after a three-year courtship.

Now Ralph is waiting to see if Salisa's two other children, Ice and Meow, will be allowede to join them in Diggle.

A Home Office spokesman said people were given clear advice about which visa to seek before entering Britain.

Good luck to Ralph and Salisa

If I dare say so a Thai female (lady / girl) would be no worse than the hoards of other nationalities already residing in places like Brixton.

Good luck to Ralph and Salisa

And "their" children, we should add.

A friend of mine married long time ago a Thai lady and he agreed to take three of the sister's children to Europe.

He put them to school and university and they have now high level jobs in Europe.

They never came back to Thailand.

He divorced the wife quite a few years back and is now in Thailand but the former wife is still in Europe, having a job there.

She is not interested to come back to Thailand.

Go figure, farang want to be in Thailand and some (?) Thai prefer to be in Europe,...

Ahaa, warms the cockles of your heart news like this.

So Ralph is an ex nurse no mention of how he is providing for his new family.

I am sure he is gainfully employed and sweating his guts out seven days a week to bring som tham to the table for his new family.

I just hope we can have an update on this story in a year or so when she has the U.K. passport and can't be chucked out of the U.K.

Before any bleeding hearts reply make sure you have chapter and verse of all the Thai women who end up in the U.K. have a happy ending.

Enjoy!

Sorry I have been forced to drink beer and I miised that bit.

I am waiting for another erudite to inform me how you can " advance a marriage"

The mind boggles.

So the Thai authorities have taken over from British immigration to say who can and cannot live in Britain. Assuming British authorities have negotiated a reciprocal agreement, I'll be applying for Thai residency at the foreign and commonwealth office first thing monday.
