Where Did You Meet You Wife?

[brianw]

In Pattaya in a bar girls bed (she was not there) I could not remember how I got there but all I do remember I was drinking in The Poppy Bar Soi 8 Beach road the night before. Next night I returned to the bar to thank the girl all I knew was her name anyway . I met her thanked her and then MARRIED her that was 28years ago and we are still together p.s it is true

[Huey]

Met my soon to be wife via thailovelinks. She is a qualified accountant, had a few Thai boyfriends but after b ad experience decided to look outsied Thailand.

Where did she graduate in accounting? Ramkhamhaeng, Rajaphat, Ratchmankala or Sukothai universities etc..?

I smell a hater. You can tell the guys that arn't happy with theirs as they are always the first ones to try and pick apart other people's happiness, rather than just congratulating success when they find it.

I mean what difference dose it make, she could have graduated from Wutdaphukaburi Community College, she's a accountant and their happy.

Must I break out the....

Once I was strolling the streets in Bangkok early on a Sunday morning and I passed through Soi Cowboy. It was after business hours but many of the girls, who slept upstairs from the bars they worked, were outside. They asked me to sit with them, so did I. One girl asked me: "Where do you go?" I said, "I go to church". - She immediately replied "I go with you" with a big smile. "Are you sure you want to come with me to church?" "Yes, I want, please!" This went back and forth a couple of times. First I thought she was joking, but after about ten minutes she said "come with me, I must tell my Mamasan" and she took me inside the bar. She woke up the in meanwhile sleeping Mamasan and said loud and clear. "I go to church now". Mamasan obviously a bit baffled, mumbled something to confirm and there we went to church. At the very same day she became a Christian.

From the time when she went with me to church until the time she stopped working, she visited me sometimes and insisted to wash/iron my clothes in her place(the bar - upstairs), picked them up and sent back one day later, and before our ways parted. A couple of weeks later she had stopped working and met her man.

After one year when I met her by coincidence in a shopping mall, she was married, her English better than most of the International University graduates, with no accent (she did speak a few words only when I met her first). She told me that she's working for a German company now, very hard, but that she's very very happy.

Many times when I think about this I also think I have found a pearl in a dirty water.

And before someone thinks naughty here, we didn't have any sexual relationship but mutual, unconditional respect and love in order to be set free. She never asked for one Satang even I knew she needed the most and she wouldn't have accepted either.

-- This is my experience of a Valentines Day --

This is a really nice story, hope its true and not just religious fairy tales, really nice though.

@TheLaughingMan

it is true. It was during the time when I was with FGBFI (full gospel business men fellowship international)

[BlackArtemis]

At a bar in Suhkumvit, left side of the yellow line

University students work freelancing,waitresses do the same,bank workers do the same,so this post is worthless

Nonsense.

Nonsense that Uni girls don't do freelance? Plenty of girls who d this when they need rent, or an iPhone, or braces, most of them just don't go with Farang.

Forget the hairdresser excuse:

"I met my girl when she was cashier"

"I met my girl when she worked at Lotus"

"I met my girl on the bus"

"I met my girl selling jeans at a Bangkok market"

Forgive me if i am wrong, but anytime i been around Bangkok in my past 2 years in Bkk 99.9% in such jobs can't speak English to save their lives. Find me a Lotus girl, cashier, bus conducteress together who can all speak English enough to have a foreign boyfriend and i'll buy you a beer. Unless the majority of thaivisa members are fluent in Thai. Or the ex-Thai-girlfriend got a doctorate in medicine with a degree from Harvard!!

So much drivvle is being told in here makes me wanna laugh or puke, or both!

Some Thais think learning English will get them a better salary.....but i doubt that would fit into your whore infested conspiracy?

The other aspect you forgot was many girls can TYPE excellent English but struggle to speak it and therefore like the internet ,after I met a few it was quite apparent.

Dont suppose yuou noticed also they will tell you "how much" when paying at the tills in Tesco/Carrefour in ENGLISH?

It's not women on the dating sites you need to stay clear of - It's those that hang out on Luxuary and Brand Name Boasting Sites - Playing my cat's blacker than your black cat with Brand Name Bags, Cloathes and Cosmetics paid for by Johnny Foreigner..

Don't forget restaurants that see a lot of Farang customers, or American franchises like DQ, Pizza Hut, etc. So English majors even get jobs like that to better themselves.

[slapout]

First the not so successful story. Met her in a honky tonk whore house establishment. She was the projectionist for the porn movies being shown to punters. She came from good Chinese/Thai/aborigine family and was studying for a advanced degree in physics. We did seem to have a language problem as Red neck is my native language, but with all the good things going for our potential relationship, she had been born a male so our future together went south.

On the rebound from this heart rending failure I met my present wife of 17 years selling those worthless little figurines in the night bazaar. Thats is my story and I will stick to it.

My wife was the Kindergarten II English teacher at the school I worked at.

Seconded, but mine was the Thai K2 teacher.

[Patron]

I meet my wife late one night as she was waiting at the bus stop across the soi from morning/night bar

[quiksilva]

My wife worked in the same grade A office building as me, for a very large and well known Japanese trading firm.

[Blues Factory]

Wow, I'm the only one who met my wife (ex!) in a bar! It's true then that everyone here is married to Thai professionals...

Anyway, I've learnt my lesson - I hope. Met the first wife in a bar, got married, divorced a couple of years later. Met my current (fantastic, hardworking, honest, great cook, great...) girlfriend of three years through a friend who is married to her best friend. Both lovely girls from nearby towns, not tainted by the "bright lights" of Chiang Mai or Bangkok. Fantastic!

You know what they say... "You can take the girl out of the bar, but you can't take the bar out of the girl."

Simple solution - DON'T take the girl out of the bar... unless you're a miserable old fat bloke living on a meagre pension - in which case I guess you have no choice!!!

When you took your first wife , where you guy as you mention in your post.

I know some farangs stay together with a ex-bar girl and live happy without any major problems, that you have this negative experience doens't mean that they all the same.

How many divorced taking placed in europe and how many woman ar ex-bar girls over there.

Hear hear.

[saintofsilence]

I met mine at a bowling alley she is a qualified ball cleaner

[TheJoker12]

it makes perfect sense considering what most of the conversations sound like:

"u want spicy??"

"u want 2?"

"u sleep?"

"u can pay?"

etc etc etc

language not required for romance in thailand.

wow, that sounds like the type of place that has western style coffee shops and maybe even a western brand coffee shop in the lobby. that is insanely impressive. i have heard of farang working in grade b and grade c office buildings but grade a! totally amazing! well done!

My wife worked in the same grade A office building as me, for a very large and well known Japanese trading firm.

The language of love is universal...

[rott]

We were both working for a major American financial institution, at their office in Canary Wharf. She was a member of their Intrnational Audit Team and I was the Regional Security Manager. One night she spotted my pad kapao out on my desk...............

[moetownblues]

Don't forget, she also met YOU in a bar !!!

That's different, they were only drinking bottled water and asking directions to the cultural show.

Nice one centurion.... (monty python)

[moetownblues]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but a whole lot of internet girls do not exactly have stainless pasts.

Sorry to ne the bearer of good news ........... many do

True so true more than bar girls. I do not need to shop around (married) but would prefer to meet a well educated hard working girl on the net than one from a bar. Personal thing but could not live with the fact that my wife/girlfriend is/was a bar girl. Could never love a bargirl maybe it is just the thought of what she is/was.

Have you recovered your wallet yet Just kidding don't take offence.

This is a good thread - I can't believe no-one has used the 'Borat' joke yet....

(East European accent) "When I marry my wife, she good sex, cook nice, strong on plough, but after four years, when she 15, her voice deep and virgin hang like sleeve of Wizard...."

Anyway, I met my wife at a company we both used to work for and, five years later, I think I got lucky. In retrospect, I must have been quite vunerable speaking no Thai and sure, I settled soon. However, since staying and experiencing the behaviour and antics of many more Thais, I'd always rather take my own lot than a share from the common pot.

I guess you are refering to the bargirl wives.....

[Huey]

LOL! that's cold blooded Moetownblues, funny though

[mackland]

first saw the wife when walking past her house in her village, she was sitting in her tesco uniform ready to go to work, i asked at the village shop about her family not her specifically.

3 trips later after being introduced to her father by a thai school teacher friend, we were married.

best decision i have made for over 20 years.

my wife worked at tesco, studied english at vocational college, whilst she did not make great long conversations in english she certainly could speak some to a decent level.

And don't forget, just because she worked in a bar doesn't mean she was a b/g....

Similarly, just because you met her in a bar doesn't mean she was out to find a farang. There are lots of other reasons why she would be there.
