Paul has a good point there. This is the case here in New Zealand, at least in my city. While there are a number of "normal" immigrants, there are many where there is a farang somewhere in the extended family.

At our recent Temple ceremonies http://www.thailandqa.com/forum/showthread.php?p=59518 it was interesting to meet the husbands/boyfriends (dragged along for the occasion) of some of the women who I had got to know by attending over the past few months

As I commented over there, this doesn't mean that there isn't a strong Thai community, but since there are only a few hundred families in my city they are hardly going to form a "Thai town". In fact, other communities here (Chinese, Korean, etc) don't form geographical communities either. It's just not a big enough city for that.
