It is very difficult for an average Thai to get a tourist visa for the UK, I think there is the automatic assumption that the applicant has no intention of returning (ie an economic migrant), they would have to provide very good proof of substantial means to get one etc etc. Other types of visa are available with substantial requirements attached.

I dissagree.. Yes ts harder for the UK than EU but its not that hard..
I got my wifey through (not not married by law married by buddhist ceremony) with one single visit to the embassy, no interview, took <1 hour.. She was well spoken good english, dressed nicely, and had travelled..
My bro has taken a girl to UK and yes she had the delay of an interview but also worked out..
Its tough but some guys have the idea its really tough.. I dont agree but of course you need to present a good image.. To be honest some of the guys stood in flip flops and wife beaters with thier short skirted gold covered girls in the queue look like they came right from nana and staggered along there at 7 am !!!
