Hamish Murphy’s Thai wedding

One of the main ways that Thai women have emigrated to New Zealand is by marrying Kiwi men. Suwan (pictured in the photographs) was refused a visa to enter New Zealand after she married Wellingtonian Hamish Murphy in Thailand, but she was later granted permanent residency and the couple reunited in May 1998.
