You need to do some research. Only 4% of Thais are Muslim. The people of
Southern Thailand are predominantly Muslim, but the rest of Thailand (as
well as the monarchy) is Buddhist.

Only with the first wife's permission and if the man can afford it.

Nothing if you're Muslim (although, in fact, many Muslims I have met do
*not* condone the taking of more than one wife, either). But as I wrote
above, the majority of Thais are not. Buddhism *does not* condone adultery,
btw. What's your problem? You have chimed in with inaccurate and
irrelevant information. You clearly know nothing about Thailand or
Buddhism.

"American" has nothing to do with it, except for that in the anecdote I
related, the first wife of my dad's friend *was* American.

Or perhaps that's what's wrong with you--ignorance is a large part of the
"colonialistic [sic] attitude", isn't it? (The word is, btw, colonial")
