Hilltribe man 40 marries Thai woman aged 70 - age is no obstacle!

 

Thai caption: Age is just a number!

 

Sanook reported on the joyous occasion of the marriage of a 40 year old Lahu hill tribesman to a 70 year old woman at her house in Doi Saket, Chiang Mai on Monday. 

 

Jahae Lobu and Rapheeporn Chaifang tied the knot.

 

Jahae said he met his beloved at a Christian church recently and it was love at first sight. Age is no obstacle, he said, saying that he and his bride understand each other.

 

He revealed that many years ago his girlfriend dumped him and he has not fallen for anyone since - until now. 

 

Bride Rapheeporn said that God sent Jahae to her and the attraction was instant. She said she pitied Jahae for his past failed relationship and said that he had promised to always look after her. 

 

Lots of relatives, friends and well wishers turned up to give their blessings to the happy couple, said Sanook.

Could it been because of his money.  I wonder what the dowry was.

[tomazbodner 3,445]

Ah, so he did the Macron... Don't know what's the fuss all about. If it was the other way around this wouldn't even make the news.

Keeping my eye out for a single 90 year old, if you know of any!

I wonder if she was a virgin ? 

[spidermike007 36,951]

Very cool. I think age difference in a marriage is a very personal thing. For me, I was married to a woman who was older than me, ages ago. Since then, only younger women for me. I prefer the flexibility, open mindedness, and youthful vigor. Not to mention the beauty. And I do not have much of a desire to be around someone who leads a life of convention, lives in a very small box, is too set in her ways, and is very conservative in life choices. I find that description fits alot of Thai women over 40-45. So, younger works for me, but to each his own, right?

40 goes into 70 more times than 70 goes into 40 (Mae West)

Surely it is time to leave hypocrisy about age differences (both ways) in the 20th century.......

Wonder if it aids his residential status and that of his relatives...
