As others have said don't disclose your financial on here. When I came to Thailand I was lucky meeting my wife of 18 years now who never asked for any money whatsoever she had offers of cars, a house, buffalo etc etc. I told her I can't give you any of that but I promise I will take care of you and that was all she wanted to hear. I never paid a dowry and like other's on here we are totally happy. As for love make some friends here and find out who has a lady also looking for a farang husband, if you want help that way pm me my wife has a few. As for buying a house that will come in time so as others have said rent 1st then decide.
