Finally back at home in Ealing, London after a fun and relaxing three weeks in Pattaya. So having kissed my wife i was greeted by the big pile of fresh post. God it was depressing. I had two parking tickets totalling 240.00 plus a 500.00 water rates invoice. This was then quickly followed by a demand from the water board for 1500.00 to fix a leak in their pipe! God I am only back 5 mins and I’m stressed already.

What followed was a series of un-related events that started to make me consider my future and in particular my living situation. Since moving Chanichar (my Thai wife) to England I could see that some of the fun had been sapped out of her, I could see the stress taking the toll on her. In England and London you live to work, you grab a quick lunch and then you normally eat at your desk – I often work 6 days a week, sometime even more. Then several things really upset me like the MP’s expenses row which wouldn’t have normally bothered me really annoyed me, If it was any of us claiming for mortgages we didn’t have we would be sacked and charged. That’s it I declared over glass of Pinot – we are moving to Pattaya and starting a Thai Bride dating site.

On a recent trip to see her family in Nakhonphanom my wife (Chanichar) was surprised to find many old friends appearing at her house with photos and hurriedly printed or hand written profiles seeking her help in finding a husband. She was even more suppressed to find ladies from the next town whom she had never meet also knocking at her door.

So because of these encounters she felt there could be a need for a modern bridal dating agency and www.beautifulthibride.com was conceived. My wife spend the next three months working with programmers and designers so that on coming to Thailand she could launch her site.

Well we arrived – and now the hard work of finding a house, an office for my wife, staff, internet , bank accounts, transferring money from the UK etc etc. Well I won’t bore you with all the details but I have listed below who i used and my thoughts – It has I must say been the most painless experience ever! Compared with doing the same in the UK and the bureaucracy you would face it has been a sheer pleasure.

So here we are -We have been here six seeks and I am completing my dive master course and looking for a dive school to invest in – my wife and her small team have launched the web site so if you are interested in a Thai Bride or Asian dating please take a look at her site and I will post the occasional blog of how we fare in the land of smiles. If you are thinking about making the move but are worried by all the red tape and paper work – don’t be – just do it
