Search Begins to Reignite Old Romance from Vietnam War Era

Thai internet users are working together to help a Reddit user from the US find his father's old flame from Thailand during the Vietnam War period. The user, “No_Acadia6966” posted on Reddit that his father, a former American Air Force member stationed near Nakhon Phanom from 1968 to 1971, is looking for his old girlfriend known as "Oi".

 

Growing up, the Reddit user constantly saw a large photo of Oi and became curious about her. He explained that his father was very fond of Oi and wanted to marry her. Unfortunately, his grandfather did not allow the relationship. The user added that he is still unsure how to spell Oi's name in English or Thai.

 

The post, widely shared among Thai netizens, included a picture of Oi. Interestingly, a woman who identified herself as “Noon,” an admin of a Facebook page called “Justin Family”, believed that Oi could be her grandmother. Noon stated that her grandmother also named Oi is now 77 years old and had mentioned having an American boyfriend who was five years younger in her past.

 

Further, she claimed that her grandmother had two kids with the American soldier, one of them being her mother. According to Noon, when the soldier planned to head back to the US, he offered for her grandmother to accompany him, but she declined. They lost connection thereafter.

 

However, Noon later posted an update stating that her grandmother is not the one "No_Acadia6966" is searching for. Regardless, the incident has motivated Noon to start looking for her grandmother's long-lost love.

TBH, this whole trend of posting your DNA, finding long lost "old flames" or "relatives" or whomever doesn't really "click" with me.  To what end?

Mind you I have 5 sisters that love this kind of thing and certainly don't see any harm.  Although there is a possibility you might find some dark secret that is better left that way. 

I recently discovered that I have another sibling that was given up for adoption before I was born.  Probably best that this "secret" did not surface before both of my parents passed away.

 

Does this sort of thing intrigue/interest you?

Dude, don't go there.  She's changed.  Your better off going to Korat and hitting on her granddaughter as even her daughter is also probably past her "sell date;"
