Then you're still going to have to have a party here to appease your partner and their family.

And there is no guarantee that your foreign marriage certificate will be recognized here and a local one issued... I have only heard of one recent case of this happening recently as reported on K440, and even then I'm not sure it's even legally binding as it doesn't appear that it was approved by the MoI.

If you've got your head screwed on, got all your paperwork in order, have patience, and can follow my guide then it's only going to cost you appx $500 to do it in Cambodia. It really isn't that difficult, as proved by the nearly 20 couples I am aware of who have followed the guide I posted and have successfully married legally and officially in Cambodia.

Even if you don't make $2500 p/mth, an official looking letter from an "employer" will work, the MOI do not check.

However, if you're 50+ years of age, then you're shit out of luck...not sure why anyone that old would bother getting married (again possibly) anyway.

It's not that I'm wanting to rush into another marriage with a Khmer woman, but I want to get input about what my options would be IF I ever decided to marry there. On another note, I also want to know how many of you guys living in Cambodia meet decent women who you might be able to have a future with as compared to the hooker who many of you might end up with. as per your advice that I stay in Thailand, that would be difficult as, due to me getting a divorce, I would no longer be able to get the "Marriage Visa" which is a one year visa, so I think that making a fresh start outside of Thailand would be the best thing to do. The reason for me wanting to stay close to Thailand is that I have a 16-year-old son so I want to be close to him and be able to help him and be a part of his life. If I were to go back to the US, that would be very difficult to do.
