Charlie5 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 She was in Chiang Mai for a while, I also can't remember where she comes from, maybe Chiang Rai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 I hope she gets out of the scene and can make good and be good. I have a mobile number and an email address for her, but I won't call. I don't want to jeopardise what she has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffi Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 If I'm not mistaken around 1998-1999 BBC America ran some doc along the line of Expats and I remember one of the storys was about some female staff at the British Embassy in Bangkok. Does anybody remember this one? I forget what it was called. On this show they features several couples I believe. I haven't had a whole lot of trouble at the embassy when I've approached them for visas for my wife but we exercise common sense and go dress respectably unlike a lot of women who show up there.

Guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Carew Thanks for reminding me about 'the Good Woman of Bangkok'... Its a fascinating documentary filmed by a recently divorced 40-something aussie (Dennis O'Rourke) who falls in love with Aoi, the not so young woman of the title. The film was inevitably trashed by right-thinking people as exploitative and voyeuristic (thats the reason i loved it !) , but it was also very honest and very moving - definately recommended viewing if you can find a tape. Does anyone know where Aoi is now ??? - not still working the Grace Hotel I hope, and I trust she has ditched the window-pane goggles for some contacts Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 "I trust she has ditched the window-pane goggles for some contacts" It'd be funny if she's wearing contacts. Don't you remember that she had one glass eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultras67 Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 I really enjoyed that series. One of the other stories was a 65-70yr old jeweller who was gay and had 20 odd year old boyfriend. Wasnt the guy who married a ladyboy not a bar owner down Phuket or Samui way or was that another story ? One of the best reasons for watching it was the music, it was a sort of dance mix of thai and uk bits mixed together. They did a repeat a few months later during the night just with images and music and called it Bangkok Beats. I actually tried to find out if the music was available to buy but no one knew at C4.
