I know is really not good to compare people in general. But if somebody knows the cultures whats the difference between the lao, Vietnamese and Khmer wife?
Tanks

It seems the biggest difference is not between southest asian nationalities, rather it is beteween city-girl or country-side girl. If, for instance, one meets a Bangkok, Phnom Phen, or Ho Chi Minh City lady they are more world-wise and cynical, whereas a country-side girl is usually a little more naive and trusting.

If you are looking for a lifetime wife then country-side girl frequently is the better choice. If you want party/shopping girl, city-girl is for you.

  No matter what the heart is most important; there are country-side girls with a bad heart and city-girls with a good heart, you never know.
Don't be fooled by outside beauty...sometimes a blind man is a better judge of character, not be dazzled by beauty alone.

Lao girls who move to the USA won't change instantly, but they will change over time and adapt to their new culture. There are hundreds of thousands of Lao people living in the United States of America today and they've all settled in to the point that they don't want to return to live in Laos.

The Issan ladies with their western husbands who came to live with them are still living in Thailand together. In this situation it's the guy who needs to adapt to the Thai or Issan culture. The Issan ladies will continue to live the way they grew up because they are still living in the same environment.

Hmm, I think the Lao people in the US and France are mostly refugees and their descendants from the Vietnam war..they aren't Lao people who got up and left Laos. Maybe there are some women who married a western guy and moved there but not a huge amount.

And as for western men being selfish and wanting a maid, I feel like the problem is them not understanding the culture and not understanding the girl as a person. If you're living with someone it helps to understand them and what they think, rather than to just live with someone who doesn't even love you but stays because you have money. Also people have different ideas of beauty so you can't just say one needs to be a billionaire to get a beautiful wife. In my opinion Melania Trump isn't even beautiful looking.

I think couples back then wanted to divorce badly too because passion dies over time but they just held out and stuck it through because divorce was rather frowned upon back then and they wanted to keep the family together. Now more people are getting divorced because of the more relaxed attitude towards divorce and weakening social customs, not because people back then had some kind of amazing love or something like that.

I will have to disagree with you. Only golddiggers and douchebags care solely about money when choosing a spouse and those type of people are generally looked down on. People of all economic backgrounds get married in the US. Marriages end for many reasons. Frankly speaking, sometimes staying together hurts the family more than getting a divorce- such as if the one of the parent is abusive.
