NIGHTCRAWLERS GUIDE TO FINDING A THAI WIFE or GIRLFRIEND; A Thinking Mans Guide
By I.M. Wermes
(Paperback) 194 pages. 1st Edition, 2010
Perhaps more than 500,000 Thai women are married to foreign men living both in Thailand and in the husband’s country. Most of these marriages happen by chance without much forethought or planning. Often they involve Thai women with minimal educational achievements who work in the entertainment industry that Thailand is so famous for, and with foreign men who have not looked in perhaps the right places. Many of these marriages work out fine, but many do not, or not as well as they could have. This book takes a closer look at how foreign men can more systematically find the right kind of Thai woman for friendship and marriage.
