First of all, not all Thais or Viets are FL or WL or so on. This is an important fact of life. If anyone thinks to the contrary, he or she has the freedom to think what he or she thinks and you do not need a friend like that. When it comes to family, I think there are other considerations that they are more worried about like the language barrier, the cultural differences and so on. Having a foreign wife is not so easy, incorporating her into a life here or adapting to a life there. These are all relevant considerations. You may think that you can live on love and fresh air, but just ask her to come here and she does not understand English or Chinese and all the TV shows are in languages she doesn't know. For her to be away from her parents and family and all the support structure or you to be in Thailand.

To gain acceptance, you must show maturity in thought and also in choice. Your parents will respect that choice if they see that you understand what you are getting into. Bring her here and introduce her to Sg and your family. Then bring them there and show them where she stays. And when they see that you are truly in love, they should not be too aggravated that you are going to marry a foreign national. I wish you luck.
