My time in Bangkok By Gale Bailey MBE
In May 1997 the Baileys arrived in Bangkok for 3 years to make a fortune, return to UK, pay off mortgage and have thousands in the bank!
First night in Bangkok Needless to say this did not happen which is why we are still here! In June 1997 I joined BWG as a friend told me that I would need friends of my own ilk as this was our first time living abroad. As I was working, I attended the coffees and lunches whenever I could but took on the role of coffee morning lady and also carted the second hand books around in my little Honda Civic. When I went part time in my job (Assistant Regional Manager, Druck Asia Pacific) I became chairman of BWG in 2002 and was the first person to do a 3 year stint (crazy!). We held some fantastic events and raised millions of Baht too.
