mangojuice Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I live in the West Midlands with my Thai wife and since last May my wifes 14 year old daughter has been living with us,she goes to school here.She has friends she hangs around with at school but they never meet outside school and she needs some Thai mates of similar age so she can have a rattle,tried putting notes up at the local temple but nothing. Can't be the only Thai girl in the same situation surely Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I know for a fact that there is a lot of Thai students at Aston Uni, a bit older than your daughter maybe, but at least some contact. They have some kind of club there, am not sure if it is mentioned on the Uni website. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Another possibility, check for local Thai restaurants, they might also have kids going to school. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieB Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Check at your local Thai/Oriental shop as well. They might know some other families with kids in the area. Mine also has their school age kids helping in the shop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobrussell Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 My 10 year old daughter (in the New Forest) would probably appreciate contacts in a similar position but I am more than slightly concerned about safe ways of doing this. She spends a lot of time prattling on with her cousin via live messenger so this sort of thing may be a way forward if you know how this all works. Social networking sites confuse me but they may be a suitable way forward - sorry shows my age!!! If anyone knows a safe way of introducing young Thai speakers on-line suggestions would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
