Good deal if you can get it.
These deals are often available to anyone legally resident in Thailand also. A work permit and current Non-Imm B visa gets you many of the deals also. I am not married to Thai - but can avail myself of some of these bargains too.

This was true also when I lived in Botswana - many southern Africa countries offered discounts to legal residents of the area. I would guess that it would be true of many other places too.
