As far as how women are treated in Thailand, the whole culture needs an overhaul.
Subordination is a way of life here.

That would be true in the last generation or two. As Thailand becomes globalised and women become more educated, they are beginning to stand on their own two feet. The era of Sunthon Phu has long passed.

There will still be some who are submissive to their husband/boyfriend but a lot of women are now very independant compared to their parents' generation.
