WTF in Jomtien Complex

[Oliver2]

"Culture shock"...yes, that's the nub of the problem. P wanted me to sell-up and live in rural Kamphaeng Phaet. Then his idea was to come here to London. We talked and talked and considered the options, including the financial ones. And we still live thousands of miles apart and sometimes, like today, talking to him on LINE makes me tearful.
However, we were right to continue to live our own, very different lives, him with his extended family and temple, me with my political work and cultural life in London. Not to mention Chelsea Football Club.
When we are in Thailand, we share our lives; here we would be under the same roof- mainly- but our respective interests wouldn't mesh.

I love him as he is and I don't want him to become an anglicised (and rather lonely) Thai; and there's no way that i am willing at my age to adopt a new culture.
