very short lived marriage

I'm with you on this one Tilo.
Lying is a human invention and practised by everyone all over the world.
Cheating happens also all over the world but not more in Thailand than in any western or Asian country.

Mortiboy is right: what we (old farts) find here in Thailand is a younger pretty sexy woman who will take care of us until we die. She will not put us in a home for the elderly (my nightmare) but she will stay with you till your last breath. In exchange we provide her with a better life than she had before so she is more than happy with that new life.
Don't forget that Thais have learned to be happy with the life they have, their religion helps them in that way.
Speaking for myself: I'm happy with my life in Thailand with my much younger, attractive and careful wife and even if expats don't find the right one at the first attempt they will eventually find a woman to take care of them.
This is as Mortiboy stated not true love as such, it is an agreement between two people concerning their future.
Nothing wrong with that.

I agree also with Mortiboy that if you don't live here you will not know the people and cannot have an objective opinion about them. Living amongst them is the only way to get to know them and (in my experience) appreciate them.

I know I'm a miserable old git morti, but that's the way I like it. From past experiences trying to be friends with neighbours always ends tears. The least I have to do with neighbours the better I like it. You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your neighbours.

Thank you for your reply Tilo it was half of what i expected from an inteligent individual that you seem to be although even i don't have to define what a cheat is read some of stickmans post. I asked you if you thought thai woman had a reputation for being lier's and cheats and you said yes. So as far as i am concerned thats good enough for me.

I reckon the present state of this thread says it all - bookended, by Izzix at the start, and (currently, except for me) ended by vlad.

No need to say any more really.

ps Tilo got it absolutely right.
