If you are searching for beauty or just a small dusky maiden, then this is the place for you. But if you are have been divorced two or three times, do not expect this marriage to last either. First look inwards (Like a Buddhist) and cure the problems that caused your divorces. Once angry, the average Thai turns into a hell cat, not the meek and submissive image that some portray. Back in your country, she will miss her friends, have no-one of her own language to speak to, feel the cold, be homesick. Many want to return home within the year. You must have a very good and strong bond to see you through these times. Yes, there are many divorces between Thai/Farang, but how many Farang/Farang friends have got divorced too? Like any country, you get out of a marriage what you put into it.
Most "Western" countries have very strict rules on applications for Visas, either for settlement or even as a Tourist. They know the high failure rate of marriages due to cultural differences, so make what seem hard decisions to protect their nationals. A Thai Marriage does NOT means you can bring the bride home. Most people take a couple of years and three failed applications before they get the clearance.
Yes, there are some genuine sweeties out there. They are usually the ones only recently come to town and not yet been hardened by the nature of the town or the quieter ones near the back of the bar. Their dress sense does not always give it away, as most girls share clothes and swap them around. The learning curve can be steep, but in time you know in your heart if it is right. In the UK the divorce rate is 30%, so it does not always work back home either!
