Top answer
Thailand, which used to be known as Siam, changed its name in 1939. Unfortunately, he's married Karen, who I don't like very much. I see these as supplementary relative clauses since there's only one Thailand, and presumably only one Karen that you don't like.
- Thailand, which used to be known as Siam, changed its name in 1939.
- Unfortunately, he's married Karen, who I don't like very much.
- I see these as supplementary relative clauses since there's only one Thailand, and presumably only one Karen that you don't like.
- Note the commas.
- The other three are fine.
