Hi All,

My name is Kevin and I just got engaged to a Thai named Guitar. Yes, like the musical instrument. I just want to introduce myself and my fiancé to you all as we will be in need of your expertise. I never realized how complicated this was going to be.

Our basic story is that we met online. I had a Yahoo! personals ad up in San Francisco back in 2000. Somehow the ad found its way to a newspaper in Bangkok and I was contacted by her. We had a fun little e-mail friendship going, but nothing serious. I found out a lot about Thailand, a country I was previously only familiar with by its cuisine. And her, this attractive 30-ish Thai that could speak English well and had a degree from one of the top universities in Thailand. At this time, I was working a lot in Tokyo and was "gently persuaded" to come to Bangkok to meet.

I met her in the lobby of the Novotel at Siam Square in Bangkok in May of 2001. It was not love at first sight, for her, at least. After all, we were "only friends" and she let me know that. After hanging out for 5 days or so, she arranged a trip to Cha Am for us ("separate beds!") and I agreed to it. I was to go there and she would meet me one day later. Basically, I was attacked on arrival! We had a lovely stay at the beach and I ended up extending my stay in Thailand to be with her even longer (this still happens for some reason!). I've been back to BKK every year since then and we always have a lovely time together.

I've loved her Guitar many years, but she only recently became available to become married to me. She has found another family member to take care of an ailing relative, a responsibility that has been solely hers for years now. She recently announced this exciting news to me, so 8 years after meeting online, we will finally be a couple. :star:

More to come and thanks in advance for your good wishes. :thumbs:

Want to welcome you. I am engaged to a lovely northern Thai lady, as well.

All the best

Pete

Hi Pete,

Is she camera shy too? I have few if any photos of us "together". They're mostly of me catching her by surprise. Not going to be easy proving our relationship with photos. :help:
