it isn't really surprising stuff. Thailand ain't that cheap anymore. Aussie dollar is like 21.7 thb these days. A lot of things are cheaper back in Aus now,
Exactly the same with the UK ????

This is the first time ever that I hear about arranged marriage in Thailand (been here for 20 years). Guess it must be something they do in Isan small villages? Never been there but I live in the central countryside in Thailand and as far as I know around here it is not how they do it.
I would send the son away to a boarding school or university in BKK or Chiengmai so he can see the real world around him and then it will probably change by itself somehow?
I have lived in Phetchabun since 2000 and have heard of quite a few arranged " marriages " and we are a long way from Isan some involving girls younger than 14 but again this is Thailand and their culture it would be wise to remember we are Aliens here ? I have raised my wifes daughter from 5 year old she is 20 this year her boyfriend is the same age and both go to Phetchabun Rajabhat University when he comes to our house he always " Wai's " and never comes inside the house at least not when I am home ?

I think the guy contemplating coming to live in Thailand after only a two week visit in ten years should do some groundwork and research for himself I have been coming to The Land of Smiles since February 1990 and I found a couple of books by Roger Welty " Thai Culture and Society" " The Thai and I: Successful Living in Thailand " to be very informative about all aspects of living here !
Reading answers in Thai Visa is like listening to bar stool experts any where in the world ? do your own research and learn by your own mistakes and experiences there are many pitfalls that can be made as there is a huge gulf between Thai and European culture ! the most basic one in my opinion is that most Thai's whether educated to a high standard or otherwise seem to not have,even a minimum percentage of common-sense
