My Thai Wife
My name is Jim and I wanted to send you this letter about my Thai wife. It’s an interesting story and I’d be happy if you posted it on your site. I really love Thai women and even though I’m an old man, it’s a happy story.
The first time I came to Thailand was during the Vietnam war. This was a very sad time for a lot of people in South East Asia but I was working a supply company in East Thailand. That is where I met Sinsu. She was the same age that I was and we hit it off straight from the getgo. I could not speak in Thai and she could not speak any English. This is funny now because in hindsight it was not funny. Imagine a farang and a Thai girl that can’t communicate with their mouths but saw beauty in one another. I do believe it was love at first sight.
Well, we had 9 months together there in Thailand and I eventually had to go back to Seattle, from which I was from. I had her address and and we wrote back and forth. We had to use a translation service in order for the letters to be understood. I told her that I would be back very soon. In the mean time I would try to learn her language and her mine. It was 2 years before I got back to Thailand. She was still waiting for me.
Nothing changed with Sinsu. She still looked the same and I do believe I looked a bit older. Well, that was about over 30 years ago and we are still together. We got married in Thailand and although she wanted to come to America, it seemed very difficult and a lot of paperwork so I decided that I would live in Thailand. After a couple more years in the military, I got out and high tailed it to Thailand.
Sinsu is my Thai wife and I’ve never looked back or at another woman. Each day is filled with love. She is as beautiful as she was the day I met her. Nothing changed. I’ve got a lot more wrinkles on my face but that’s about it. I sure do love her. We work together in her cafe and we spend our weekends running around town. Thailand has given me a life like no other. I don’t care what the naysayers say about things that go on in Thailand. I’ll never leave here…
Thanks for letting me write my story.
Jim
