There's some good stuff on the BBC but there's also some predictable, repetitive and lazy journalism like this:

The article, titled Perils fail to deter Thai bride boom starts with the paragraph:

The case of Toby Charnaud, the Briton murdered on the orders of his Thai ex-wife, has highlighted the growing number of British men travelling to Thailand to find wives, often arranged over the internet.
