Met my Thai wife in 1983 when I rented a minibus from her in Bangkok. She looked terrific and spoke pretty good English. As time went by I became aware of her great sense of humour, her honesty, and her kindness and competence in caring for animals (important to me). We married in Taiwan, where I had been posted, in 1990. I retired in 1993 and we returned to Thailand. Still very happy together in 2026. I am now 85, she is 72. Not aware that traditional values, as referred to by the poster, had much to do with this. Just two people who are good for each other.
