this is probably the most important question. How he met her?
Also how the friend know the thai girl family is rich?
If just by the looks of their car / house, better dig deeper and get to know more. Perceptions can be deceiving.
Thai people are well known to love "face" and lack of financial management skills. They can be heavily in debt and you'll never know till everything falls apart.
One of my thai ex gf also from "rich" family. They are in the timber business. Their family have a big house, big enough for 3 families to live into it, divided by 3 separate sections. It like 3 houses joint together and some land surrounding it, walled up. Each family member also have a personal car, plus a more few trucks for business usage. Then a few years ago, suddenly the family business became very bad + the dad found a new gf and depleted all savings & even borrowed heavily from banks to the $$$ use on her.
Needless to say, bankrupted. House & cars all repossesed by banks (so all these assets came with big loans from banks actually), leaving behind 1 SUV & 1 old lorry. Now whole family living in wooden hut, built by themselves on a piece of land which was leased to them cheaply by a kind landowner (like 5k baht a year only). Now they just do small scale timber business, just earning enough to live and hardly able to achieve the previous scale of business they did.
