as we all know south east asian girls are usually also not as faithful as western girls anyway!
Griffin ,
Is this really what you wanted to say ? Are you talking about all girls in S.E. Asia ( not just BG's ) as compared to all girls in the West ? OR
Are you talking about BG's in S.E. Asia as compared to non-BG's in the West ? OR
Are you talking about non-BG's in S.E. Asia as compared to non-BG's in the West .
If the last option above is what you meant - then I think that your observation may not be correct .

Keoron,
Back to the point, it would appear that you have long term concerns about your assets or at least protecting them should it not work out.
Regardless of the probability of success (as one gentlemen put it) or divorce/separation, if you partner is to have equal rights under the British legal system (pressumably after she gains citizenship???Check), then it is a legitimate worry.
Why not look at some discrete ways of protecting your assests (house and or pension). Call it "Risk Management". She wont have to know and you can always leave it all to her in you Will.
You wont care a f_ck then.
I would suggests that there are people in UK that specialize in giving advice on how to do this "Before you get married".
They are probably better suited at this, than the characters on this website and this is too important and issue to trust to novices or would be lawyers.
The reason I suggest this is that several of my friends recently, got truely screwed over by the UK legal system (Ok they were not married to Thais), and like most western legal systems these days, the legal systems do dont discrimitate for race and most systems no longer take into account what each party had before they got married.

K.
at first no need to take a lawyer. go to the british embassy and get all the information you need. at the embassy, they are very willing to help.
if it comes to a divorce, it also depends a lot on your ex-wife. she will get half of everything, if she fights it (at least that is the case in my country). but maybe you are able to find some arrangment.
bigD I do not think this is entirely a pussy forum at least not to me.

BoomARang,
Interesting, my TGF is the same. No hysterics, no scissors, just, "if you want buttahfly, then I go." As an ex-go-go dancer, I guess she has gotten beyond all the hysterics and bullshit and just wants a stable relationship with someone she can more or less "trust." And lacking that, she will just quietly take her leave and look elsewhere.
Regarding marriage/divorce here in California (which also has those horrifying Palimony laws), once you are involved in a marriage that is legally recognized here, then all assets acquired from that point on become joint property, to be evenly divided in the event of divorce. That means any assets you had before marriage are yours to keep, but any appreciation of those assest, or any new assets, are open game for her. I'll bet you have a similar thing there, but I'm not an English lawyer, and your embassy and a local lawyer should be your absolute must-talk-to if you are worried about this.
I agree with what has been said -- protect your current assets, and if all goes well, then she wins in the end, 'cause after you croak, she gets it anyway. Which is probably what you'd want, provided she isn't an architect of your early departure from this planet, ha!

CraigOZ - "the characters on this website"
Who are you calling characters!?!?!? I resemble that remark! ;)
Seriously though, good points although I think others suggested getting professional advice, you mention some specific points to consider. Another thing, if legal in the UK would be Pre-Nuptials but again, get professional advice. "You pay going in or you pay going out but either way you pay!" ;)
Pinga - "Face" is a very important concept throughout Asia. Not understanding it will allways find yourself on the outside wondering why. Sometimes even if you know about "Face", you will still be on the outside but at least you will know why. ;)
BallsBurstin - I can't say it was due to my girlfriend having been a GoGo dancer because she was one all of about a week before I heard that she had divorced and needed the work to get her and her two sons out of debt from her husband, who used to be a nice guy, as he slowly went down the alcohol tubes. I think it was her watching her family fall apart that made her more interested in stability and security of family than getting all hyper over things. She's a lot like I am, it takes quite a bit to get either of us riled.
Also agree, staying away from the edges of balconies and roofs is a good insurance policy too. ;)

keoron,
You ask about divorce laws and then about being a 'butterfly' while you are married. Just how committed to your gf are you? What are you going to tell her when you find out she can get half of everything you have?
' sorry darling, I love you very much but I love my money more'.
Regardless of whether you live in the UK or Thailand keep your wealth somewhere else. That way you can protect it from your wife, Gordon, and Thaksin.
Some time ago I read on another board (or Yahoo Group) that there is a lawyer in BKK that gives lessons to thai wives of US citizens in how to use the US divorce laws to get the most from their husbands. Anybody know more about this, and has he been shot yet?

I saw a Thai girl throwing chicken necks to the ducks in the main lake in Lumpini Park.
I said, "What are you doing?"
She said, "Just practicing."
