When you consider how much the Thai's love to gossip across the back
fence, his wife must really suffer quite a lot of ridicule. But do
remember that his Thai wife is NOT actually his legal wife. She simply
lives with him for his money. Johnson is legally married to a Western
woman that he married for Tax purposes when he first came to Chiang Mai,
before anyone knew the 'real' Robert Johnson. Since that time, as I
understand it, she has had no contact with him... for obvious reasons.


You are right Anonymous, I had forgotten about the exact details
surrounding Johnson's personal situation - not that I really want to
know anything about that sordid situation mind you. Yes from what I
have heard, his western wife is still trying to 'live down' the fact
that she actually entered into lawful marriage with this man - the
poor woman must still have nightmares thinking about any actual time
spent with him. Even though from what I have also heard the marriage
was for reasons other than love, she must still question herself for
doing it, particularly now that everyone knows the real Bob.

Guilty by association. I hope his current 'wife' is handsomely
reimbursed to compensate for the fact she has to smell his whiskey-
drenched carcass every day.
