Abstract: Cross-cultural marriage is one of the region's unique socio-economic phenomenon in Northeastern Thailand (ISAN). This encourages economic growth in the region as if it were a result of international trade. However, the main reason that these women married foreign men because of their poverty (Pomsema et al., 2015). While the economy appears to be improving, one could wonder what their level of life satisfaction is. In 2015, 452 individuals were surveyed using the questionnaire in the provinces of Udon Thani and Burirum. The findings of OLS regression will disclose their life satisfaction, and the proper economic implication could be designed.
