Someone started a thread on Thaivisa asking foreigners where they met their Thai wives. Such a question!
I was tempted just to leave a comment along the lines of mind your own bloody business but as in most such threads curiosity got the better of me leading to the complete waste of several precious Nanaseconds - the universally accepted time taken for a bar girl in Sukhumvit to polish off a lady's drink.
Despite frequenting bars as much as the next man in my Bangkok youth I rarely bought these drinks keeping a mental note of how many more houses or vehicles I would own in the future if I didn't succumb.
It was easy really - my Thai has always been so cocky that women in Go-Go bars enjoyed a laugh even though they knew Cheap Rooster was not worth persevering with after their next shuffle on stage.
The question as to where one met one's missus is a delicate one - meaning in English that it is the complete opposite - highly indelicate. Unless the information is freely offered it is better not to ask. Besides I wouldn't attach any truth to any foreigner's explanation in this regard unless I had introduced the couple to each other myself.
Even then there might be doubts.
