[Chittychangchang]

What common interest's and hobbies do you share with your Thai other half.

It might be cooking, travelling, cycling, antique collecting etc

It will be interesting to see what hobbies cross the cultural divide.

Thanks in advance.

Indeed, board games are good draughts, monopoly and suchlike. My missus would not play chess because she does not like to be beaten.

My wife is the same mate! I swear if she plants a stick in the ground it will grow. She could be a horticulturist the variety and quantity of veggies etc growing in our garden. She can also grow Orchids which is difficult in the U.K..

Don't know who that might sound boring to, sounds to me like you are very lucky, not only you but your family. Good luck.

Tolerance.

Patience, one of us is good at it, the other is really trying.

I didn't think I'd be cut out for all this marriage lark, but I've surprised myself.

Age has helped as well as personalities.

We reset every day and get on with it. Don't ever sleep on an argument I was once told. Good advice.

[Chittychangchang]

We have found a common ground with certain sport's . Eg: being members of our local badminton and table tennis clubs have been a positive change from the day to day of family life.

Would be great to hear of other members experiences.

Not sure about bridging any 'cultural divide' per se, but Mrs NL and I are still shagging each other.

Just sayin'

Cultural divide? Makes whatever it is sound bloody cavernous.

Sex, drugs and rock and roll?

[krisb]

Its all about the baby these days, and busy practicing for the next before she closes the baby factory:D I work all week and she works p/t which includes the weekend so sadly doesn't leave much free time these days, but all the usual stuff couples do together. Luckily she hates spending money, so as the baby starts to get a bit bigger, more travel will start again.

[umbanda]

Surprise...we share surprises. To discover the good things in our so different culture...is a surprise every day.

My wife and I are waking up at 6am every day. We have an early chat for an hour, give alms to the monks if I am not to lazy.

My in-laws will take care in the early hours for our son Nicky, so my wife and I have some time for us. At 8am we take our baby back from our in-laws who luckily live next door and my wife is busy with our son. I start work at around 8.30am and stop at lunch time. Wife prepares food and we have in general lunch together. Our baby boy is just 8 months but he loves playing already with my iMac, so wife often visits me in my office room so he can play on the keyboard or with the mouse.

After lunch I work again and stop around 5pm. We play with our baby until he gets tired and falls asleep. Dinner time with a glass of beer and I play a round of chess online and wife plays some kind of game with building a farm or communicates with her Facebook friends. I prefer LinkedIn.

At 9pm we are tired and sleep until the next morning 6am.

Weekends we travel often to other provinces, mainly Mukdahan, Nakon Phanom, Nong Khai, Udon, Loei or Ubon or within Sakon Nakhon.

All in all we have a simple life and we both like it.

[robblok]

We both like diving, snorkeling when we are in the south of Thailand. We like to travel (good as she is a tour-guide). I like to do some training and sometimes she even joins me to keep herself in a bit of shape. Other then that, just going to eat somewhere together watching a movie.

Secret in our relation is also giving each-other a lot of freedom and having our own friends and not doing everything together.

I bet she beats you - on both counts!

[ToddWeston]

Travelling, cooking, tennis, winemaking and the current hobby is soap making - it's a blast to make soap for family and friends. The number one thing we do is I start a project, get distracted and someone else finishes the project

[Chittychangchang]

Believe it or not.....Kite flying.........addictive.

Has anyone mentioned sex yet....if not I will.

[yourauntbob]

At night she likes to yell at me for what a slob I am while I try to tell her how illogical she is. Later when we get tired I log onto TV while she researches online how to get me to lose weight. we go to bed and she slaps my hand and says "not tonight." the next day she asks if we are ever going to have kids, i explain the logic and she starts yelling........................
