It's a story as old as the sea... western Men travel to Thailand and find themselves under the spell of the beautiful Thai women. Some of these men, so enchanted, fall deeply in love and take Thai brides as their life partners. This is just such a story: The story of British-born Mike Renshaw and his wife Panit, a Thai native. With humor and grace, Family Thais illustrates the cultural differences and misunderstandings which can wreak havoc on a union such as Mike and Panit's. It paints the portrait of the colorful characters that touch their lives. Somehow, Mike and Panit manage to circumnavigate these rocky waters and live a sweet and happy story of lifelong partnership and commitment.
