Personally I am getting my Thai wife to invest as much money as possible in Phuket property, sorry but you can buy a very nice 200 sqm house here for 50,000 pounds, how long do you think thats gonna last?

Just looking at statistics, over half of all marriages fail. But in Thailand, what rights do you have? Actually you gave those up anyway because a Thai lady married to a foreigner, the foreigner must sign off that he doesn't have a claim to any property she buys. So the "Only invest as much as you can afford to walk away with" rule would still apply. BTW, I'm not commenting directly on your relationship, just making a general comment.
50,000 pounds...I think our definition of "nice" must be different. I don't consider anything typical thai style (i.e. 5 different colors of tiles in just the kitchen) to be nice. Not a good investment as well as the market is moving up market.
