MARRIAGE IN THAILAND
Marriage Between Western Men and Thai Women
Thailand, the Land of Smiles, has long captivated the hearts of visitors worldwide. For many Western men, their journey here evolves beyond its scenic beauty and culture, culminating in life-changing partnerships with Thai women. These unions, while rooted in love, bring together two distinct cultures in ways that create unique dynamic and challenges.
Thai women are often admired for their gentle demeanor, family-oriented values, and resilience. Many Western men are drawn to these qualities, finding them refreshing in a fast-paced, individualistic world.
Meanwhile, Thai women appreciate the openmindedness, sense of equality, and stability often associated with Western partners. This mutual appreciation lays the groundwork for enduring relationships
BUILDING A LIFE TOGETHER IN THAILAND
Settling in Thailand comes with its benefits, such as a lower cost of living and a relaxed lifestyle, but also practical considerations. Legal processes like obtaining a marriage certificate, managing visas, and adhering to cultural traditions, such as dowry (sin sod), are essential steps to understand. These rituals symbolize respect for Thai customs and a commitment to family values, strengthening ties between families.
Like all relationships, cross-cultural marriages face hurdles. Language barriers and differing expectations can arise. For instance, family obligations hold significant weight in Thai culture, and Western spouses may initially struggle to understand the depth of these responsibilities. Open communication and a willingness to embrace each other’s traditions are crucial to overcoming these differences.
The popularity of these unions continues to grow. In many cases, they create a beautiful blend of cultures, where Western traditions like Christmas are celebrated alongside Thai festivals like Songkran. The children of such unions often enjoy the richness of dual heritage, speaking multiple languages and gaining an expansive worldview.
SUCCESS THROUGH UNDERSTANDING
The success of these marriages relies on mutual respect, patience, and adaptability. Western men who take the time to learn the Thai language and culture find it easier to navigate relationships and connect with their partners’ families. Similarly, Thai women who embrace elements of their husband’s background build stronger emotional bridges.
Thailand has long been a melting pot of cultures, and these marriages embody the spirit of unity and understanding. They demonstrate that love transcends borders, weaving together threads into a tapestry of shared life and dreams. For those willing to embrace both the joys and complexities, such relationships can be a profound journey of growth and companionship.
ENCHANTING ATMOSPHERE
A Thai wedding is a vibrant, heartfelt celebration that beautifully blends tradition, family values, and joy. Rooted in centuries-old customs, it offers a sensory feast for participants and guests alike. For Western men marrying Thai women, this occasion is an unforgettable introduction to the country’s rich culture and traditions.
Thai weddings are as diverse as the country itself, with possibilities ranging from traditional countryside ceremonies to opulent events in luxurious hotels or tropical beach resorts. A temple blessing by monks, symbolizing spiritual harmony, often marks the start of the day. This sacred ritual is deeply moving, as chants and offerings fill the air with an aura of peace and goodwill.
For those seeking something grand, Thailand’s wedding venues cater to every dream. Imagine exchanging vows under flower-adorned arches overlooking the Andaman Sea or hosting a gala in a heritage Thai mansion. The ambiance is enhanced by meticulous attention to detail, from intricately carved fruit displays to golden décor inspired by royal traditions.
FAMILY & COMMUNITY
The atmosphere is deeply rooted in warmth and togetherness. Thai weddings revolve around family and community, making every guest feel cherished. During the “Rod Nam Sang” water-pouring ritual, family and friends bless the couple, symbolizing unity and shared joy.
Expect an abundance of laughter, delicious Thai cuisine, and traditional music, such as the melodies of the khim (a Thai dulcimer). In rural settings, folk dances and cultural performances might add to the festive charm. From stunning bridal attire, often in shimmering gold and silk, to the lavish floral decorations, Thai weddings are a celebration of beauty and symbolism. Each element, from the lotus flower to the ceremonial white string, carries profound meaning, representing love, prosperity, and harmony.
PERSONALIZATION MEETS TRADITION
Thailand’s possibilities allow couples to combine traditional elements with modern touches. Some choose intimate, Westernstyle vow exchanges alongside traditional Thai blessings. Other incorporate adventure, like hosting pre-wedding ceremony at a scenic mountain retreat or an elephant blessing.
For Western men and their Thai brides, the wedding day is not just an union of two people but of two cultures. It’s a celebration of love that showcases the best of Thailand’s charm and hospitality. Whether it’s the laughter of shared traditions or the breathtaking beauty of the setting, a Thai wedding offers an atmosphere that’s truly magical.
Thailand’s vast possibilities ensure that every couple can create a wedding that’s uniquely theirs, leaving them, and their guests, with memories to treasure a lifetime.
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Thailand, long celebrated for its LGBTQ+-friendly atmosphere, is about to make history. Starting January 22, 2025, same-sex marriage will be officially legalized, marking a monumental step toward equality and inclusivity. This change solidifies Thailand’s position as a beacon of LGBTQ+ rights in Asia, offering new possibilities for same-sex couples to celebrate their love legally and joyfully.
With the legalization of same-sex marriage, couples will enjoy the same legal rights and protections as heterosexual spouses. This includes shared property rights, inheritance, and legal recognition of their union in Thailand. For both Thai citizens and foreigners, the law provides a strong foundation for building a future together, whether they choose to reside in Thailand or elsewhere.
Thailand’s rich cultural fabric embraces individuality and diversity, creating an inclusive atmosphere for all. With a thriving LGBTQ+ community and events like Bangkok’s Pride, the country is a haven for love in all its forms.
Same-sex weddings in Thailand are not just ceremonies but celebrations of progress, reflecting the nation’s evolving commitment of equality.
A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR LOVE
The legalization of same-sex marriage more than just a legal milestone, it’s a testament to Thailand’s values of acceptance and respect. For LGBTQ+ couples, it opens doors to not only celebrate their love, but also ensure their rights and future together.
Thailand’s journey toward marriage equality showcases the nation’s progressive spirit and dedication to fostering an inclusive society. Staring in 2025, same-sex couples will finally be able to say “I do”, in a country that truly celebrates love without boundaries.

BEAUTY IN THE THAI KITCHEN
KHAO MAN GAI
(hainanese chicken rice)
One of the most important things in life is food. In Thailand, food is actually a way of life. When you meet people, or talk to people on the phone, the first question is normally: have you eaten yet? And that immediately shows the importance of food in Thailand. It must be said that Thai cuisine is one of the best, perhaps the best, cuisines in the world.
Thai cuisine is known for its magical combination of sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and salty flavors, often finished with aromatic herbs. This creates a flavor explosion with every bite.
Now we introduce you to another popular Thai dish: Khao Man Gai. This dish is popular because of its simplicity and special taste.
It usually contains chicken, fresh ginger and garlic.
Khao Man Gai is easy to prepare and yet great in taste.

THE ART OF SINGING BOWLS
HARMONY BEYOND SOUND
The enchantingly beautiful resonance of singing bowls is more than just a sound; it is an experience that resonates through the soul. Rooted in Tibetan culture, these ancient instruments have taken a prominent place in the Thai wellness and spiritual scene, offering a gateway to mindfulness, relaxation and healing.
THE ART OF SINGING BOWLS (2)
A TIMELESS INSTRUMENT
Singing bowls, traditionally crafted from a blend of seven metals, are believed to date back to the Bronze Age. Their origins are often associated with the Himalayan regions of Tibet, Nepal and India. Today, they are a staple of meditation and healing practices around the world, with Thailand embracing their rich vibrations in spiritual retreats and wellness centers.
The art of playing a singing bowl lies in its simplicity. When struck with a mallet or moved along the rim, the bowl produces a complex harmonic sound that seems to resonate endlessly. This sound is not random; it is deeply therapeutic and often taps into the body’s natural vibrations.
THE ART OF SINGING BOWLS (3)
A GATEWAY TO INNERPEACE
In Thailand, singing bowls are a cornerstone of holistic healing therapies. From luxury spas to tranquil temple grounds, their soothing tones are used to enhance meditation practices and deepen yoga sessions. The vibrations are said to help reduce stress, balance energy, and promote emotional clarity.
While their origins are spiritual, the healing effects of singing bowls have gained scientific recognition. Studies suggest that the sound frequencies can lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and even synchronize brain waves, inducing a meditative state.
Visitors to Thailand can immerse themselves in this art form by participating in workshops and sound therapy sessions. These experiences often combine singing bowl techniques with Thai traditions, offering a unique cultural touch. For those who want to bring the magic home, handmade bowls are available at markets and specialty stores across the country.
THE ART OF SINGING BOWLS (4)
A GATEWAY TO INNERPEACE
Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, the timeless art of singing bowls offers a journey not just across cultures, but into your own soul.
The art of singing bowls is not just about the sound; it is about the silence it creates. The vibrations resonate deeply, reminding us to pause, breathe and reconnect with ourselves - a practice that resonates perfectly with Thailand's ethos of mindfulness and balance.
HEALTHY LIVING YOGA
Yoga and meditation, deeply rooted in ancient traditions, offer a holistic approach to physical and mental wellbeing. In Thailand, where serenity meets spirituality, these practices have become increasingly popular among both locals and visitors seeking balance in their busy lives.
Yoga enhances flexibility, strengthens muscles, and improves posture, while also reducing stress and anxiety. It encourages mindfulness, helping individuals stay present and focused. Complementing yoga, meditation cultivates inner peace by calming the mind, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing emotional stability. Studies have shown that regular meditation can even improve sleep and boost overall mental clarity.
From tranquil beachfront sessions to serene mountain retreats, Thailand provides the perfect backdrop for embracing these transformative practices. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, dedicating even a few minutes a day to yoga and meditation can create lasting positive changes for your mind, body, and soul.
Take a deep breath, embrace the stillness, and let Thailand be your guide to inner harmony.

Interesting Temples Nakhon Pathom
Nakhon Pathom
Nakhon Pathom, one of Thailand's oldest and most culturally rich provinces, is home to two extraordinary temples: Wat Sam Phran, the iconic Dragon Temple, and Phra Pathom Chedi, the world's tallest stupa. Both sites offer visitors a mix of architectural grandeur and a glimpse into Thailand's rich Buddhist heritage.
Wat Sam Phran The Dragon Temple
Located about 40 kilometers from Bangkok, Wat Sam Phran is a temple unlike any other. Known for its striking 17-story pink cylindrical tower wrapped in a gigantic dragon sculpture, it immediately captures the imagination. The dragon, an intricate and colorful creation, spirals around the tower from the base to the rooftop, symbolizing power, wisdom, and protection in Buddhist and Chinese traditions.
Visitors can ascend to the top by walking through a tunnel-like staircase hidden inside the dragon's body. The journey upward is as surreal as it is spiritual, and reaching the summit rewards visitors with panoramic views of the surrounding lush landscape.
Wat Sam Phran The Dragon Temple
The temple grounds are equally fascinating, dotted with sculptures of elephants, Buddha statues, and serene meditation spots. Though less frequented by mainstream tourists, Wat Sam Phran offers an intimate experience for those seeking both spiritual reflection and architectural wonder. Its slightly weathered appearance only adds to its charm, telling a story of faith, dedication, and artistic ambition.
The temple also has symbolic meaning, representing strength, wisdom, and protection in Buddhist and Chinese traditions. While the dragon is the star attraction, the temple grounds feature other sacred shrines, statues, and peaceful corners for meditation.

Phra Pathom Chedi
The Majestic Golden Stupa
A short drive away stands Phra Pathom Chedi, an awe-inspiring golden stupa that dominates Nakhon Pathom’s skyline. Towering at a remarkable height of 120 meters, it is recognized as the tallest Buddhist stupa in the world. Its origins are deeply rooted in history, with its foundation believed to date back over 2,000 years, marking the arrival of Buddhism in Thailand.
The stupa’s bell-shaped structure, covered in gleaming golden tiles, reflects the sunlight beautifully, creating a serene and majestic aura. At its base lies a complex of smaller shrines, Buddha statues, and murals illustrating significant moments from the Buddha’s life.

Phra Pathom Chedi
The Majestic Golden Stupa
Pilgrims and visitors alike are drawn to Phra Pathom Chedi not only for its architectural beauty but also for the sense of peace it inspires. The temple complex is a lively yet tranquil space where worshippers light incense, offer lotus flowers, and chant prayers.
One of the highlights is the evening scene, where the chedi is illuminated, casting a golden glow against the night sky—a sight that leaves a lasting impression.
Wat Lahan Rai is not only a place of worship, but also a testament to the enduring legacy of Thai culture and tradition.

Conclusion
While Wat Sam Phran and Phra Pathom Chedi differ in style and ambiance, together they create a harmonious spiritual experience. Wat Sam Phran captivates with its whimsical and fantastical design, encouraging visitors to embrace curiosity and wonder. In contrast, Phra Pathom Chedi grounds visitors with its timeless elegance and deep historical significance.
For those exploring Nakhon Pathom, a day spent visiting these two iconic landmarks offers more than just sightseeing—it’s a journey into Thailand’s spiritual heart. Whether walking through the dragon's body at Wat Sam Phran or standing in awe beneath the towering stupa of Phra Pathom Chedi, visitors are reminded of the profound role that faith, art, and history play in shaping Thailand’s cultural identity.
Both temples, though vastly different in their designs, share a common thread: they are testaments to the enduring spirit of Buddhism in Thailand. A visit to Nakhon Pathom is not just a trip—it’s an experience that lingers in the heart long after you leave.

Cafe Boran
BY ART58KOEN
Cafe Boran, which translates to "ancient" or "traditional coffee," has a rich history that spans more than 80 years. Its origins can be traced back to a time of hardship during World War II when the scarcity and soaring prices of coffee pushed the resourceful Thai people to innovate. Faced with the challenge of obtaining quality coffee beans, they began experimenting with alternative ingredients to create a distinctive coffee experience that is still cherished today.
To adapt to the limited availability of coffee, Thais developed a unique roasting process that incorporated a variety of grains and other ingredients. As the coffee beans were roasted, they added brown rice, corn, sesame seeds, soybeans, and even tamarind seeds, creating a blend that would stretch the precious coffee supply. The end result was a dark, robust coffee infused with a unique flavor profile, enhanced by the addition of brown sugar and a hint of salt or butter. This creative mixture transformed a scarcity into a flavorful tradition that continues to be enjoyed in modern Thailand.
The preparation of Cafe Boran is an art form in itself. Traditionally, the coffee is often made using instant coffee, which simplifies the process but still allows for an exceptional brew. The method involves placing the coffee into a large filter bag or "sock." Boiling water is then poured over the coffee multiple times, allowing the flavors to infuse into the water. This process not only produces a strong cup of coffee but is also a visual spectacle, drawing the attention of those who appreciate the craftsmanship behind each cup.

The result of this preparation is a robust, black coffee that is quite intense and bitter. As many locals consider this bold flavor way too strong, it's not uncommon for them to sweeten their drink significantly. Thais often add generous amounts of sugar or rich, sweetened milk from a tin can to soften the bitterness, resulting in a luxurious yet sweet beverage that many have come to love.

For visitors who may find this traditional style too sweet or intense, there is a delightful alternative—Ice Cafe Boran. This refreshing cold drink offers a reprieve from the heat and reduces the overwhelming sweetness often present in the hot variant. The ice dilutes the intensity, creating a more balanced flavor that appeals to a broader range of palates. The Ice Café Boran truly encapsulates the essence of Thai coffee culture, making it a must-try for anyone looking to experience the unique tastes of Thailand.
TRADITIONAL COFFEE
In summary, Café Boran is not just about coffee; it’s about a lifestyle, a tradition, and a testament to the resilience and creativity of the Thai people. Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, each cup tells a story of ingenuity and cultural pride that has been brewed and savored for generations.
As you sip your Cafe Boran, you're not just enjoying a drink, but also partaking in a rich narrative that connects you to the historical roots of Thai coffee making.

THE ART OF EIGHT LIMBS

Often referred to as “the art of eight limbs,” Muay Thai is more than just a sport; it’s a cultural treasure and a way of life in Thailand. Rooted in centuries of history, Muay Thai combines physical strength, mental discipline, and spiritual elements to create a unique and revered martial art. Whether you’re a seasoned fighter or a curious traveler, learning Muay Thai is a must for anyone visiting the Land of Smiles. The origins of Muay Thai date back over a thousand years to the battlefield techniques of ancient Siamese warriors. Known as “Muay Boran” in its earlier form, it evolved from a self-defense practice to a competitive sport during the reign of King Rama V
Over time, it became a cornerstone of Thai culture, representing resilience, honor, and the indomitable spirit of its people. What sets Muay Thai apart from other martial arts is its use of eight striking points: fists, elbows, knees and shins This dynamic approach makes it a powerful and versatile fighting style Fighters master techniques such as the devastating elbow strike, precise kicks and clinch manoeuvres, combining strength and agility. In addition to physicality, Muay Thai emphasises balance, timing and strategic thinking, requiring both physical and mental stamina

Muay Thai is deeply intertwined with Thai traditions and spirituality. Each match begins with a Wai Khru Muay, a ritual dance performed to respect to trainers ancestors. This is accompanied by the sounds of the Sarama band, which plays traditional music during the fight, adding almost hypnotic rhythm to the intense competition.

The sport also reflects the Thai philosophy of perseverance and respect. Fighters often train from a young age and dedicate their lives to mastering the art. Their journey embodies the Thai values of humility, hard work and community spirit.
Thailand is home to numerous Muay Thai training camps, which attract enthusiasts from all over the world. Well-known gyms such as Fairtex in Pattaya, Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket and Sitmonchai Gym in Kanchanaburi offer authentic experiences for beginners and professionals alike. Training sessions include a mix of conditioning, technique and sparring, pushing participants to their limits.

The atmosphere is electric, passionate fans, the echo of Sarama music and the raw energy of the competitors.

Welcome to our third episode about Chinatown Bangkok, one of the most remarkable areas in the thriving capital of Thailand. In this episode we will describe an unexpected but unique experience: The Opium bar
First let us tell you about the transformation from day to night in Bangkok which is really amazing. Bangkok during daytime is a modern, thriving city with great places to visit and things to do. You can spend days just sightseeing all the highlights. But the thing about Bangkok and especially Chinatown is the way it changes from day to night: Like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, but then in a much more entertaining way.
So, after the sunset we decided to grab some of the great street food at Yaowarat Road. Here you can experience by yourself how the busy streets transform in one of the greatest oriental food markets in the world. After 17:00, under the glowing and flashing neon lights a completely new world is created. A world based on food, more food, drinks and even more drinks. Everything that is eatable is sold here. Boiled, baked, dried, salted or maybe even alive.

After some great snacks and drinks, we opened Google Maps to check the nearby bar’s and cocktail clubs. The night was still young (well, in Bangkok even at 06:00 the night is still young) so we wanted to check out some new places and have a few drinks. One name immediately took our attention, the Opium Bar A name like that reflects some of the old times so we decided to check the place.
After a short, but really fast ride with one of the new Tuk-tuk’s (is the engine nowadays a V8 or something?) we arrived near the Opium Bar. Just with shorts, slippers, t-shirt, well you know, the average tourist outfit. In front of the building there was a lady, well dressed, behind a desk. Huh? What is this? Perhaps we are at the wrong place. Looking to the left, next to the door there are multiple Michelin star stickers. Yeah, this couldn’t be the right place, or could it?
So, we asked the lady, and she confirmed that the Opium Bar was also part of this Michelin star restaurant. And the bar is located on the top floor. Well, dressed as tourists there was no way we could enter the restaurant. That’s what we thought. When we turned around, the lady asked us if we wanted to have a drink at the Opium Bar.

. This is what Bangkok is: Even with shorts, slippers and t-shirt you are welcome in a Michelin star restaurant. That would never happen in Europe or the US.
The elevator is not for the faint of hearted. It’s so small that it’s too cozy for two people. But we managed to make it to the bar. And that was more than our worthwhile. Unique furniture, mixed old with new styles. The collection of drinks has no end and their cocktail card is world class. You can sit inside or outside on a small balcony. We chose the inside, because of the unique interieur.
We checked the cocktail card and decided to take a signature bottle infused cocktail with lots of herbs. So the bartender filled a flat bottle with all kind of herbs, added different kinds of booze. He shaked, stirred and mixed it. Well, it took him more than 10 minutes to create this amazing cocktail. And amazing it was, we never tasted such a delicious and unique cocktail anywhere in the world. So, if you’re in Bangkok and are looking for a great experience and amazing drinks: The Opium Bar is one to check!

From Commercial Art to Spiritual Painting Fernanda Fan
Fernanda Fan’s journey is a fascinating tapestry of artistic evolution. Once a graphic designer, illustrator, fashion designer, and stylist, she has spent over 30 years pursuing her greatest passion: painting.
Early in her career, Fernanda worked with leading companies in China, creating what she calls “commercial beauty.” Back then, she sought to infuse her projects with traditional Chinese and Japanese elements, embracing a hand-drawn aesthetic. Her efforts paid off, but over the years, she felt unfulfilled by the repetitive nature of commercial work. While it honed her keen sense of cuttingedge aesthetics, it also fueled her desire for deeper creative freedom.
Information about the painting on this page: This Acrylic painting took 3 months to finish. It shows a beautiful girl wearing a gorgeous coat. The primary focus of the artwork lies in capturing the strength conveyed through her expression, particularly evident in her eyes All women from around the world have the potential to become stronger and should strive to do so in order to create a better world
Fernanda Fan
From Commercial Art to Spiritual Painting (2)
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Fernanda was locked in her apartment for over three months, a deeply isolating experience. “No one can imagine the feelings unless you’ve been through it yourself,” she reflects. Some people lost their lives during that harrowing period, and Fernanda considers herself lucky to have survived. The ordeal, however, inspired her to channel her emotions into her art. She believes that even in the darkest of times, it is possible to create light.
Her paintings embody this ethos, reflecting a deep sense of purpose. “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt through the heart,” she says. Fernanda’s work strives to touch viewers on a spiritual level, offering a glimpse of the paradise within her heart. She hopes her art can bring comfort to those in pain, and serve as a beacon of energy and spirit.
After the pandemic, Fernanda relocated to Chiang Mai, where she redirected her energy into painting. Through her art, she explores a central philosophical theme: the contrast between the “good way” and the “right way.” “Most people choose the right way because it is easy, makes them happy, and feels comfortable,” she explains. “I choose the right way. It is harder, imperfect, and sometimes even painful, but I believe that we can make the world a better place this way.” For Fernanda, life is about more than fleeting pleasures—it is about seeking a deeper meaning.

Fernanda’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of art. In the serene landscapes of Chiang Mai, she found the perfect space to create, reflect and inspire. Through her paintings, she invites us to look beyond the surface, to feel with our hearts and to embrace the beauty in the pursuit of what is right, even when it is difficult.
