The TFB Webpage 

Sawadee!  Welcome to the TFB (Thai Falang Board) Webpage.  Started in August of 2005, this site complements the board and currently features the TFB Visa Page, TFB Newsletters, TFB Member List, US Thai temple link, Thai-related links, the "TFB Family Minute", and other useful information for Thai-falang couples.   The board has been online since 2001, and is a forum fostering Thai-foreigner relationships--it is filled with invaluable information provided by a great group of posters.  If you have any suggestions for this site, or if any link is not working, please post in the "TFB Webpage" thread in the General Folder, or send an e-mail.

  The TFB "Family Minute"   ...   Just some thoughts/quotes about marriage, parenting, family life, etc.  [quotes from this site ]

"I went to Chatachuk on a Saturday morning and noticed the same thing as you. Not so cheap anymore! It's still fun to wander through the place. After, we rented a mat and sat in Chatachuk park for several hours, buying drinks and food from vendors. I probably spent less than 200 baht total. I spent a lot of money doing a lot of things in Bangkok, yet my girlfriend said the thing she enjoyed most was sitting on a mat in Chatachuk park, eating food bought from vendors and feeding the pigeons. It kind of put things in perspective." Utah (TFB member)
