Our Story

How It All Begins

Our story begins in spring 2024.

I get in touch with a woman through a well-known online dating application.

At first, it is simply a conversation.

Then come more messages.

Then regular calls.

Before long, chatting and calling almost every day becomes part of our lives.

We are separated by thousands of kilometres. I live in Luxembourg and she lives in Thailand.

But distance does not prevent the relationship from developing.

After months of chatting and calling, I decide to travel to Thailand.

At the end of July 2024, I book my first flight for October.

The journey will take me from Luxembourg to Zurich and then from Zurich to Bangkok.

After months of talking through messages and calls, we will finally meet in person.

Not everything is perfect at first sight.

But a relationship does not always have to be perfect from the very first moment.

We continue talking.

We continue calling.

And the relationship gradually becomes deeper and stronger.

After the first visit to Thailand, the story continues.

I return to Thailand in April 2025.

Later that year, my girlfriend visits Luxembourg for the first time.

The journey between the two countries becomes part of our lives.

There are flights.

Airports.

Connections.

Long-distance goodbyes.

And the happiness of meeting again.

Each journey creates new memories.

In April 2026, our journey reaches another important chapter.

We decide to celebrate a wedding ceremony near the hometown of my girlfriend’s parents in Isaan.

Relatives and friends from Luxembourg are invited to travel to Thailand and share this special moment with us.

The religious wedding ceremony becomes an unforgettable and emotional experience.

Later in 2026, our journey continues to Luxembourg, where we celebrate our civil marriage.

ThaiLux is not sponsored by the dating application where our first contact begins.

It is simply our real story.

A story that neither of us expects when the first conversation begins.

Sometimes it still feels like a dream.

Neither of us imagines that a simple conversation will lead to journeys between Luxembourg and Thailand, family, friendship and marriage.

We call it destiny.
