Welcome to newsletter #12. If I were with you in person I would be offering you a friendly ‘Wai’ right now. Do you remember what that is? That’s right. It’s the common Thai greeting made up of a bow with your palms pressed together as if in prayer. You’re doing well to remember your Thai customers, and this will go a long way to impressing our women.

This week our featured article looks at the tradition of paying a ‘bride price’ when marrying a Thai girl. We’ll explain what’s expected of you when it comes to the big proposal.

We tell you everything you need to know about boating in Thailand so you can make the best of the local waters.

And we’ll give some pointers to those trying to win the affections of some of our younger Thai beauties.

As always we want to hear from you. Please write to us with any comments or suggestions you have for our newsletter so we can make sure we fill the newsletter with the content you want to see.
