I suspect a number of those of us who have married Thai lasses fit into the category of having married educated middle/upper-class Thai lasses.
I met my wife in Phuket, while I lived there. We both were members of the same health/exercise club, and after my seeing her for a few months at this health/exercise club on and off, I finally decided to ask her out. We dated on a plutonic basis for over a year. I was getting laid regularly by the various "Miss Issan Pagaent" BGs, so why rush into a sexual relationshp with a regular TG? Frankly, I had no intention of getting hitched, and I fully believed in the philosophy that P4P is to pay the lass to leave, and not so much to stay.
The one thing I liked immediately then about my wife (who was my purely plutonic Thai GF at the time) was she could hold a good conversation with me. She had an engineering degree, and a masters of business administration. She was witty, bright, and fun to be with. We could explore all sorts of different topics, and have a fascinating conversation, that we could easily pick up and continue next time we met.
We went on a few overnight Thailand trips together, but despite hints from her, I always kept it Plutonic, as I didn't want the committment of anything long term.
Finally, I moved to Germany. My Thai GF flew out, at her expense, to visit me a few times. I finally came to the realization how much I felt for her, and asked her to move out here and stay with me. It took her a long time (over a year) to decide to move out and join me. She spoke excellent English and Thai, and not German, so it would be (and was and still is) very difficult for her to find the same sort of work here, that she can get in Thailand. She left behind all her friends, her culture, her relatives, and an excellent job. Why? ... To stay with a procrastinating jerk like me.
Now that I am a member of her family, I find I am probably the poorest member of the family. Perhaps that makes her upper class, or maybe that makes me lower class. I guess its all relative.
I consider myself lucky, and let me say for the cynics (like I used to be), not all TG are after your money.
