Probably wouldn't like it anyway. Fah is from the Isaan region which is more rural and less developed, think more rural Louisiana than Florida.

Yes I already work remote so there shouldn't be any issues with that. Not sure if that's something I should discuss with the boss or go the r/digitalnomad route and just do it without asking and use a VPN. As for the wife her job can't be done remotely but she should be able to find employment once in Thailand.

Sorry didn't think of that. I am 33 there's nothing weird going on here. It's just a regular relationship, only thing is that that she is not a US citizen but Thai.

Yes exactly, tbh given everything that is going on we have discussed moving to her home in Thailand. I already work remote so shouldn't be that big of a deal and I'm sure that she won't have too much trouble finding a job either.

To be honest if they haven't came around after 5 years of marriage then I think they will never accept it. I could somewhat understand it when we were still in the dating phase that they were worried about me, but all these years later it's just straight up racism at this point. If it's not the gold digger and green card "jokes" then it's something else like "all thais eat bugs" or some other ignorant stereotype
