nice to read this that you look for your education. I see you are from Nong Khai. This is far from Pattaya and at borderline to Laos. I never visit before, but I have friend here - not gf - and she is from Nong Khai too. She live together with man from finnland.
You have children ? Would you like to live with bf at Nong Khai or you want travel
