Indonesia as usual was forced to convert into Islam. I am pretty sure Europe will be seeing this phenomenon in like 15-20 years due to all immigration from Syria. The irony is thatall the rich Muslim (Arab) countries have not taken a single refugee but the other countries are forced to.
When you have time go through this link, totally different subject though.

I once stayed in the Zenith hotel Soi 3, many years ago. When I went down to breakfast, everyone looked at me strangely like I was a leper, LOL. Like what the hell was I doing there? The food was a bit strange for me, being Halal I guess, and probably had no ham or bacon etc. Normally pork is favourite meat of Thais. Once also stayed at the Grace Hotel (Soi 3). My Thai girlfriend did not seem to like it and I had no special love for it or the location.
Soi Thonglor is probably known as the Japanese area but I have not stayed there. I have stayed at Hopeland Serviced apartments which seemed very Japanese oriented. No problems though. I don't believe I suffered any discrimination, that I can recall.

Okay Garuda appears on Bangkok Bank and some other buildings. Its seems common to Hindu and Buddhist religion. So what? Some may not see this as greatly relevant. Everyone knows the Buddha was born in India, and that Sankrit is the parent language for many Thai words.
However some people maybe be looking for more modern parallels.
Personally, I haven't been to India, so I fail to be able to see great parallels in relevant parts of the culture to a tourist. I just would not know or really care too much. I have been to Indian restaurants. LOL They don't strike me as particularly like Thai, other than rice, curries and roti. LOL.

Of course this route largely caters to those middle aged or elderly gents from Singapore, Hong Kong or China who prefer to 'buy' a wife rather than woo one.
Good luck!

Joking aside, that is a most strange question on this forum.
I have all respect for the "working girls" in Thailand and elsewhere, but I'd never think of making one of them my wife. Most of the forum members here will warn you not to fall in the trap of taking a bargirl as your long term girlfriend. The odds of having a long and happy marriage are really against you.
For many working girls, their family comes first. In many cases that is even the main reason they do what they do. So if you take them out of that life, you have taken away their main source of income and your wallet is now the replacement source.
Given that the majority of the bar girls did not finish their PhD, it seems that the notion of "saving" and "compound interest" is not part of their skill set. In other words, they will live happily from your money until the money is gone and they look at other sources of income.
Of course if you are looking outside of the world of bar girls c.s. for a wife, then it will be more or less the same in Thailand to find one than it is to find one elsewhere and matters such as "love", "mutual understanding and respect", "overlapping spheres of interest" and such will enter the equation. Hardly something that is discussed here on this forum.
