I think Kyle made some very interesting observations about moving to Thailand, that he, as a white male, would be in the minority there, that it would not be "his" country.
However, if Noon is close to her family and if her family welcomes him into their family, it might be a very good situation for him.
We haven't gotten to watch the latest episode yet. That'll be tonight/this afternoon. I think, as a white male myself, that being in the minority would be valuable experience. Same can be said for living in a country other than the one I have lived all my life. In fact, even being married, if my wife wasn't dyslexic, then I'd be finding an angle to move us to a foreign country. However, since she's dyslexic, that's just not going to happen (unless it's Canada, the UK, Australia, or some other primarily English speaking country) because to move her anywhere else would be to condemn her to an illiterate hell where she wouldn't get to fully experience and enjoy the vibrancy of that country, anyway.
And, as someone who is also not close with his parents, Kyle getting to experience such a thing would be of great benefit to him. My wife's family is very close and I am now very close with them. It took me many years to adjust and to feel like I fit in, but it's been one of the best things to ever happen to me and that awkward and uncomfortable period of time was worth it.
