Thaifjord

Thanks for the response on iTunes to Episode 4: Inter-cultural marriage, here. Got some great feedback about the Norwegian village with a disproportionate number of Thai wives. Remember you can subscribe to and download the podcast free on iTunes.

As mentioned, there IS a small fishing village in the North of Norway with an unusually high number of Thai brides. It goes by the name of Tresfjord. Population: 218.

Tresfjord is a small fjord village that earned its nickname Thaifjord because so many men there have met Thai women over the internet and married with them.

For a deeper insight into the nature of these relationships, there is an awesome Norwegian documentary series. It goes into love, loneliness and what the Thai immigrants bring to their new landscape.

You want to know who would marry a Thai bride that they had barely met? Well you can now meet a whole group of them. Check out the trailer (for the movie, rather than a trailer that Norwegian/Thai couples live in) here:
