    My father is Thai-Chinese and mom is Filipino-Spanish. Luckily, they didn't have in-law problems from both sides. But when my mom took my dad to Spain, that's where he encountered some racist/rude remarks for being in an interracial relationship with my mom. There were even men who tried attacking him physically (happened in the 80s). We ended up going back to Manila then settling here in Bangkok since 1996.

Got a lot of wonderful insights from the couples (: It's true what one of the interviewee mentioned, "Know your priorities" Personally, as a Muslim, I would prioritize religion more, hence, I will choose to marry someone who has the same religion as me. As for the race, I am quite open, but my mum doesn't allow me to date other races other than Malay so this is quite conflicting. But we'll see when the time comes. InsyaaAllah, everything will fall into place (:
