Ning is a small lady from Nong Bua Lamphu. During the whole of her live Ning had a very strong head. Her family is as poor as a church mouse. At the age of 20 she decided to change her life. She wanted to go out of the poverty.
With a few hundred Baht in her pocket she bought a bus ticket to Pattaya and started her work at a bar.
The first few days were dissapointing. No farang, no money.
But one evening she spotted a farang in good clothes approaching her bar. 'That's the chance of your life' she told herself. With the little english she learned at school and the help of another lady working at the same bar, it took a few minutes only to know she got the right one: An English men, working in Vietnam, earning good money and having a good heart.
At the end of his holidays she told him that she wants to end her work at the bar and that she wants to marry him.
The English gentleman aggreed to support her until he will return for another holiday. Unlike other ladies, Ning returned home, prepared all the papers needed to marry a farang and waited for his return.
When he returned, the two married in Pattaya. With his money Ning bought some ground in her home town and built a house.
Until today she refused any attempts of Thai men to benefit from her fortune. Not even her own family gets a share of her wealth.
'It's my life, my man and my money. I did it.' - she told me.
