Nope, 2006, and first become popular in Thailand 2010 and so on

 

Not normal in Thailand before. Students might had access from 2006, but not normal

Oh for f***’s sake, are we really doing this again? How many times do I need to tell the same story to the same bloody question on this forum?

There is no obligation to answer any questions on here

Koh Samed during a holiday in the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004/05 (which, thankfully, had no physical impact locally).

I can see it is a sensitive subject for some people who might be ashamed and would like it to be not discussed and forgotten and I understand that but it is an interesting topic for most.

 

It isn’t a compulsory poll. 
 

I remember one acquaintance went out of his way to tell everyone he had met her in 7/11. Only for the story to fall apart after she openly told everyone the actual Pattaya Beer Bar.

I find it offensive that you use the word ashamed. 

 

I'm aware of many foreigners who met their Thai wives in Thailand in circumstances which have no shame whatever and are insulted for themselves and for their wives at any suggestion of shame.

 

My Thai wife (sadly now passed on) was a doctor of medicine plus she held 2 medical board  specialities.

In CM airport. She was selling hotdogs and that bubble tea drink. I was a little drunk and she was gorgeous.

 

Made a dick of myself according to friends but she had enough English to know that I was inviting her to come see me at the CM sixes cricket tournament.

 

Surprisingly , she turned up and it went from there. 20 years together now and counting.

 

Good times, good times. 🙂

 

 

Yes, that all very nice, but how did the sixes go?

The clue here is it's not easy to find a 3-holer at a 7/11.

 

Not easy, but not impossible.

I was teaching at Mahidol University International College (MUIC) from 1999-2201. She was a factory worker pushing her bicycle along a road that was in such bad condition in places that I called it the Moon Road. I put her bike in the back of he pick-up truck. After I left MUIC I was in a difficult financial situation while I tried to start a company. She made sure I had food for each week. Eventually, the business got going and we got married. Now we have a family of 26 rescued cats, 4 rescued chickens, and 1 rescued rabbit. She and I rescued each other.

I picked up mine at the local kad.

Do you personally like this sort of Poll/Post?

Meet her in a foursome with three other women.

And why do you feel the need to get upset about it? you can just overlook and move on, right?

I am not upset, but posts like the OP needs to be questioned. It is of no use to anyone........well maybe you.

So what about you? Where did you meet her?

Why the need to question. It´s a light hearted question, that some people might enjoy, like with all other topics. Myself, I do not enjoy it very much, but there is still no need to question, as everything must not be useful or fill a purpose. For me it´s easy to just leave it alone for the ones who wish to engage. I have done 1-2 times in older topics regarding the subject, and feel no need to engage again.

Don't play the game, so I won a certificate called a 'Duck' I believe, that meant all balls bowled to me were missed by myself but didn't hit the stumps. 🙂
