He earned the tongue-in-cheek "kindest German" moniker after a compatriot beggar drew ire from some Thais and expats in the country. Yesterday Thaivisa caught up with Reiner who told us about his life in Thailand and Germany. Reiner is 63, has known his wife Angkana for 27 years and has been coming to Thailand off and on for 30 years. He said that he converses with his wife in German as his Thai is poor. Angkana passed exams in German while they were living there in his hometown of Sinsheim about 120 kms south of Frankfurt.
