Et lite stykke Thailand

THAIFJORD is a documentary series following the life of five Thai women and their husbands living in a remote fjord in Norway. All over the countryside in Norway an increasing number of men find their wives in Thailand and other Asian countries. But the women coming here to build a new life quickly find themselves the subject of discriminating opinions. Most Norwegians consider the “Thai-ladies” to be desperate women escaping poverty and prostitution by marrying hopeless and sexist men. They are believed to live in bad relationships where they equally exploit each other, and there is no love or even respect between them. But what do these men and women think about themselves and the choices they have made in their lives? What does relationship and marriage mean to them, and can they tell us anything about love?
