I met Phen Kosilar in the beginning of June
2008 at the beach in Jomtien, Thailand. She was working there for
her brother-in-law and she rented beach chairs and sold
food and drinks like coconut juice. And what did I do at
the beach? Yes, laying in a chair, nipping from a
coconut.
A few days later I met her in a famous big bar with
live music and dance. App. 11 o'clock in the evening she
came there with friends for drinking and having fun and
she recognized me immediately. We talked and had fun. In
the following days we met each other many times and
after a week she came to my condo and then our
relationship started.
The next day we went to Koh Larn, a beautiful little
island in front of the coast of Jomtien. She had never
been there. Two days later, we took a taxi to Korat, but
there was nothing to do. A bit like Almelo in my country
The Netherlands. We only had each other, but that was
enough.
And then I had to go back to The Netherlands. I gave
her the key of my condo, and from that moment a life
with more luxury than she was known started for her: air
conditioning, hot water, a swimming pool...
In that time I used to go only two times a year to
Thailand, so my next holiday was planned in December.
But I changed my plans and only for her I came in the
beginning of October again to country of the smile. She invited me
to her family in Nong Khai, a small city at
the meandering Mekhong river in the very north of the Isan
province. We organized a Morlam festival (see the link
at the right site of this page) and maybe 150 people,
invited or not invited, enjoyed the music and the
drinks. After visiting her family we went to the
beautiful country of Laos, where we had very nice
days.
In December I came back to Thailand and Phen and we
decided to marry. We made a trip to Malaysia en had some
pretty days there. Nevertheless Phen was not very
satisfied about that country. And indeed, Thailand is
better and maybe even the best land in the world to
live, if you have some money. We decided that our future
is in Thailand and not in my country The Netherlands.
In February 2009 we bought a big house in the Isan,
between Nong Khai and Udon Thani, for an unbelievable
low price. After my retirement we will live there
permanently.

Thai don't have much
fantasy in inventing names.
My darling Phen lives in
a village named Phen. This village belongs to
subdistrict Phen which belongs to the main
district Phen.
In a village like Phen
everybody knows each other, so if I send a letter to
Phen, Phen, Phen, Phen, Thailand, there is a big chance
that this letter will arrive correctly.
