But elsewhere the problem was rife - there are 600 cases under investigation in Nong Bualamphu province

 

 

Never seen an Indian in Nong Bua Lamphu.

The problem has been revealed as widespread and usually features men from India and Pakistan who want to come and live and work in Thailand, reported TNA.

Because it's so much easier to work in Thailand if you're married to a Thai lady..................NOT

That is an excellent point.  Being married only allows you to stay in country not work legally.  So technically a lady doing this is complicit in helping a foreigner work illegally as well.  Victim?  No...

To play devil's advocate I would say they are victims of poverty and shitty education .... Culprit being the corrupt rulers I guess.

I've lived here for 5.5 yrs. and every day seem to learn more ways Thais try to get money without working for it.  Maybe lots of people are like this not just Thais, but what do they expect? Something for nothing.

Thank you! What benefits did they lose and further to that it takes all of about 3 minutes down the local amphur to be no longer married. There is no time limit you can get divorced pretty much the same day if you wanted. Another steaming pile of not news

If they know which amphur was used and if they know their 'husbands' name and if they have any paperwork to prove that they are married in the first place.

 

And the final big if. If they are prepared to confess that the marriage was fraudulent to start with.

 

Not quite as easy as you suggest I would think.

marrying for money is the # basis of any/all thai marriages regardless of origin of husband

 

 

 

Marrying for money is probably the basis for nearly all marriages world wide!

Why on earth would someone get involved  in a "fake marriage" to stay in Thailand? Indians? India has nothing to envy from Thailand !... Maybe Pakistan or Nepal, but seeing Thailand as "a land of opportunity" seems really far fetched. 

So just more BJ BS...

Have you ever visited India or Pakistan ? 

If you had- I would be surprised at your comment , Thailand is like paradise compared to those two cesspit countries.
