This comment surprised me. I would definitely explore this issue thoroughly with your wife as in my opinion, if your wife's not comfortable in the village, that's gonna be a make or break issue. Is your wife from there or is this going to be a totally new location for her? If your wife IS from the village and she's saying she's bored or doesn't like it there, chances are it's because there's some history there between her and whoever which you also need to get to the bottom of. I assume your wife is Thai, but it's not 100% clear if this is the case. If she is Thai and the village is totally new to her and she's not from there, that could be, in terms of social adjustment, tough sledding. Don't expect that just because she is Thai, that everyone is going to treat her like family or a lifelong friend, when you and her suddenly drop out of the sky into the village. If you and your wife are both not Thai, even if you are exceptionally outgoing and have stellar Thai language skills, I would expect a Western couple to struggle socially in a village setting. I've lived in a province bordering Nakon Sawaan for 23 years.
