May 2004 is the first time that I chatted with My Thai wife. It was on the Cherry Blossoms web site. I

Doug and Ning

Doug and Ning

had already seen Ning’s profile and happened to see that she was on line in a chat room. So I thought that I would say hello. Over the next few days we ran into each other on Cherry Blossoms and spent more time chatting.

Later we started chatting on Yahoo and things grew from there. Ning and I spent a lot of time chatting and talking on the phone. Finally after 6 months I made my first trip to Thailand to meet her and get to know her family. After my second trip to Thailand, I started the paper work for Ning’s Fiancee Visa.

Read about how Ning became My Thai Wife, and about our trips back to Thailand. Traveling Thailand with locals is always much better than just being another foreigner going to well traveled tourist sights. Not that they are not worth seeing, but it is good to get off of the beaten path sort of speaking.

You will also find recipes here that Ning will teach you how to cook some delicious Thai food. If you like food with some spice to it, Thai food will be a favorite with you for sure. Ning will show you some dishes too that will not be spicy, this way you still can enjoy the taste of Thai food without the hot spice.

Hope that you like what you see here at My Thai Wife web site. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to just drop us a line or post a comment on any of the posts here. Thanks for visiting us here.

This last weekend Ning, my son Seth and one of his collage friends and I went to an Amish Animal farm about one hour drive from our home. We went down and rode in one of the horse drawn wagons that took use through the park.

The ride is about a little over an hour long, and you get to feed the animals with a bucket of food given to everyone on the wagon. We went and got there in the late morning, by the time we were going through, a lot of the animals were full from all the wagons that went through already.

Water Buffalo that Ning is used to seeing in Thailand

However, we still could entice some of them to come up to the wagon and feed. They have a good collection of different animals from around the world, and some from around the United States as well. The park is in a woods type setting, and does have some open fields, but most of the animals were staying in the wooded area.

Ostrich eating from a bucket, these birds never get full.

It was very hilly and it made it nice for most of the many different types of deer they have there. The animals running free in the woods where camels, water buffalo, Cape buffalo, US plains buffalo, Ostriches and Emu. There were potbellied pigs, several different types of sheep, elk and longhorn cows.

They also have a petting zoo for the little ones that had small goats and rabbits, along with caged monkeys and birds of many types. They even had two alligators with a bridge over them so you could get a good look.

We had a nice time there. We went and eat at one of the many Amish restraints in the area. The food was not bad, but I do prefer Thai food that Ning and I make to the old American home cooked meals of roast beef or roasted chicken that I was raised on. However, don’t think I have given up on all American food because I haven’t. I still have my favorites of that too.

Alligator that is about 4 to 5 feet long.

We did not get to feed the Alligator. I do not think that they even offered food to them them with. Maybe to upsetting to all of the little ones running around. But it is cool to see them anyway.

Thai Noodle Shop

Ning and I have a friend in Thailand that used to work in a factory. He had gotten laid off from making socks and decided to start his own business. The majority of Thai people are very hard working, so it was not surprised to me that he is doing very well at selling his [...]

Winter Time

Wintertime where we live has been an experience for Ning. Not until she came to live in the United State, Ning never was in snow. She never had the experience of walking on iced over sidewalks either. This almost proved to be disastrous the first winter that she was here. When Ning was here at [...]
