</div><h2 id="w_context">Context</h2>
<p>Poverty in Thailand is particularly high in rural areas. People in rural areas lack educational opportunities and therefore remain in low payed, low skilled jobs. The majority of jobs are in the services industry and the salary is insufficient for them to support their families. In this context, poor parents cannot provide adequate educational opportunities for their children.
</p>
<h3 id="w_data-and-statistics">Data and Statistics</h3>
<p>In response to the pressures of living in poverty, some families chose to marry their daughters to wealthy foreigners. According to the National Statistical Office, 15,000 women marry foreign husbands especially men from Europe and the United States per year. The most interesting figure shows that the remittances of these women to Thailand was at least 122 million Baht (3.71 million dollar) per month or 1,464 million Baht (44.57 million dollar) per year. The research also indicated that women in the northeast prefer to marry someone from a developed country. Concerning education, 68% if girls finished primary school, 27% finished secondary school and 7% earned a bachelors degree. More than 80% of these were married and had children with her former husband before.

<h3 id="w_the-influence-of-online-social-networking-sites">The influence of online social networking sites</h3>
<p>Online social networks increase the possibility and accessibility of connections between women in Thailand and prospective husbands. It has become the channel to seek for a foreign partner. There are sites dedicated to the search of foreigner husbands but women also use Facebook. This is extremely dangerous for Thai women because they cannot know who they are communicating with and what is true or not. Many Thai women lose moeny through schemes that seek out poor women looking to marry wealthier husbands. However, as long as women are still marginalised and stuck in the cycle of poverty they will look for ways out of their situation and social media and networking sites are one possibility.
