Thailand's government is offering a free class to Thai women who marry foreigners. The class teaches about the possible difficulties of such marriages. It also teaches how to avoid becoming a victim of scams or human trafficking when moving overseas. Thailand's social development ministry said that some women believe marriage to a foreigner is a way to improve their economic situation. The government has little recent information about such marriages. A 2004 government study showed that more than 15,000 women from northeastern Isan had married foreigners. That is one of the poorest areas in Thailand.
