Thats scary that based on the questions you listed you think you know a lot about business in Thailand. I suspect you have average knowledge based on those posted questions and shouldn't ridicule others for their questions or comments.

CD's aren't savings accounts.

I would add NO Cell Phone Use on the bike minimum 30 days loss of bike and if 2nd time 6 months you lose the bike. Teach her to ride properly and what to watch out for so she can understand what's really at stake. If there's a local bike accident, take her to see what can happen.

Thats about the only play you have is to communicate clearly but directly about your concerns and why they are concerns. I would try to work on it in pieces so its not overwhelming to either of you and easier to make small but positive changes Don't expect any immediate and quick changes as it will be a process to get her re-invested in the the family and home rather than the card games

good luck with that but I wouldnt waste any money pursuing that idea as you will lose in the end despite what you think about having an "expensive lawyer". Your in thailand and you have no legal standing.
