Thai dating

Every day I receive a considerable number of e-mails via Thailandblog. And believe it or not, there are sometimes special questions in between. Whenever possible I try to help everyone or answer a question. Sometimes I forget that too, apologies for that.

There is one thing I cannot do, however, and that is helping men find Thai women. Sending e-mails with that question is therefore pointless.

I do know a number of Thai women, but they are in a relationship, or I would never want to couple them. Plus I don't want to burn my fingers on it. Before you know it it goes wrong and then I did it.

thai dating sites

The only piece of advice I can give to men looking for a Thai woman: start online dating. There are so many Thai dating sites and chat rooms with Thai ladies looking for a Western man, that seems to me to be the shortest and safest way.

On a dating site you can view profiles of Thai women. You can also create a profile yourself and post photos. Most of them are free, sometimes the functionalities are limited. In that case you have to opt for a paid membership to get more functionalities.

When you create a profile you can:

  • View online profiles of Thai women.
  • Send a message when you want contact or show interest.
  • You can see which lady has viewed your profile.
  • You can create and maintain your own blog
  • You can create a social network and invite others to join.
  • You will receive an email when there is a match based on both profiles.

Just start with a free profile and if you like it, you can upgrade to a paid membership to get additional options. While I have no experience with online dating myself, I do have some tips to set up a good profile:

  • Grab attention with an original beginning (opening sentence).
  • Tell us about the ambitions and goals in your life.
  • State what is necessary about your character and personality.
  • Tell about your work.
  • Also write about your interests and hobbies.
  • Make it clear what you expect from a potential relationship.
  • Be honest, sincere and polite. And don't pretend to be better than you are

Is a Thai woman interested? Then use a webcam while chatting, because then you have a better impression of each other. This can prevent possible disappointments. If you agree to chat with each other, please bear in mind the time difference Thailand.

Some dating tips:

  • Always protect your anonymity. Don't give personal too quickly information, that is always possible.
  • When you create a profile, make sure that important personal information such as telephone numbers and address details are never included in your profile.
  • Don't just give personal details to your Thai date, be wary.
  • Never give financial information such as account numbers and the like.
  • Create a separate email account (gmail or hotmail) for online dating. This makes it easier to protect against unwanted email and email stalking.
  • Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions to the Thai lady. If someone gives mixed answers to the same questions, they may be an unreliable person.
  • Many Thai women have several chat friends, the chance that you are the only one is small. But of course you are the nicest.
  • If she asks for money, stop the lady immediately, is it a scam or is she just looking for a naive sponsor.
  • Report abuse and requests for money immediately to the administrator of the dating site.

There are reliable and less reliable dating sites. But even reliable Thai dating sites can never guarantee that the members are also 100% reliable.

Some well-known Thai dating sites are:

  • Asia Friend Finder (tip)
  • Thai Love Lines (tip)
  • Thai Love Links (tip)
  • ThailandDate

Just try it out. Good luck on your dating adventure. And again I don't have any Thai ladies in stock.

    Well my girlfriend is regularly asked if they can arrange a farang through me. Still, think about doing that.

    Living in Thailand you can still make a selection of the Thai ladies, at least my girlfriend, whether they go for money or love.

    My Thai girlfriend has certainly turned my life upside down, in a positive sense, I wish other Dutch people the same.

    Follow up article on this? Getting married in Thailand with a Thai. I haven't been able to find an article about it on this blog yet.

    PS. peter i took a look at related articles nr 9, videos don't work, think you won't like the reason.

  2. Hans says up

    That with that comment of yours that they ask for money, immediately stop that trade, I completely agree with you.

    I would also like to point out that most ladies, especially from the Isaan,
    really don't have a computer at home, often can't speak a word of English, let alone Dutch.

    If they can speak a little English, communication on paper is not really easy
    because of the spelling, you try to read is thai is the same as a thai who has to learn our alphabeth.

    Then the cultural differences are also considerable, which many Dutch people do not even realize. I once placed a contact ad for a Thai lady.

    You are shocked by the reactions.

    My advice is to first gain practical experience by just going to Thailand (on your face).

  3. niels says up

    Dear Hans

    yet it is possible the new generation can make themselves quite understandable
    although sometimes you have to read through the spelling
    and what that computer they don't have at home is true, but you come across the internet shops more and more
    Unfortunately I have to agree with you on the latter
    the reactions yes you are surprised but also brings something humorous with it
    I wish everyone luck and it's still worth a try
    since I have been happily married for quite some time now thanks to the internet

  4. jim says up

    I still wonder why someone is specifically looking for a Thai woman.
    You may like Asian, but Asia is really a lot bigger than Thailand alone.

    • Robert says up

      Hi Jim, good question. Thailand is in the middle of Asia in terms of development. It is not Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong or even Malaysia, but it is more developed than Cambodia or Vietnam, for example. In practice, this means that the ladies are often poor and hopeless enough not to be too critical, euphemistically put, when a Western man is involved, but often skilled and experienced enough to deal with that man. communicate, and in some cases play him. After all, many Thai ladies already have experience with Westerners through the tourist industry and related industries, which is called 'entertainment' here. In summary: for many Western men it is easier to hook a Thai (or to be hooked, I will leave that in the middle) than another Asian. The ladies in Taiwan or Singapore are really not waiting for Jan with the short surname from Lutjebroek! I think we can also conclude that many Western men in turn are not too picky (apart from a pair of beautiful eyes and perhaps a good body). If, at least in this area, there is a country that can be compared to Thailand, it is the Philippines.

      In addition, Thai women still have an image of sex hanging around them – especially because of the aforementioned well-known and praised 'entertainment' industry. Perhaps this will also attract this and that one.

      Personally, my experience is that many Thai women have a very good sense of humor and strong personalities. If you find a good one you can have a very nice relationship. But the latter actually also applies to all nationalities.

      It might also be good to say that there are also a lot of Thai women who really don't want a farang, at least as a partner, and certainly not the type of farang that the bargirls often get involved with. However, the average tourist hardly encounters these types of women in Thailand.

      • @ is correct what you write. I think it mainly has to do with the ease with which it goes. As a man you quickly become interesting in Thailand, especially with a certain group of Thai ladies.
        In NL, the ladies are raising the bar (thanks to the Viva 😉). You must at least have a university degree, look good, fashion conscious, have a good job, be a buddy, sporty, ambitious, good conversationalist, etc. etc. The list is so long that more and more women are staying single 😉 Not that many live supermen in NL.
        Many men are tired of that kind of bullshit and look for it across the border.

        Starting a relationship with a Thai is not difficult. Maintaining a relationship is. That is not for everyone. And you will really have to immerse yourself in the culture otherwise it will be very difficult…

        • Hans Bos (editor) says up

          And from the start ram some stakes into the ground to make it clear where the boundaries are. A Thai man usually does not let himself be walked on, Farang are more lenient on many points. However, it is difficult to regain the latitude once given.

  5. Hans says up

    No niels congratulations, Of course internet dating can work well.

    I just wanted to point out that in the Isaan in the smaller villages, the women girls still have fewer opportunities because they often do not know internet and English.

    The most beautiful women who can walk into the playboy just like that in the wild.
    Those who already speak a little English usually have an acquaintance who has something to do with a farang or have themselves worked in pat.bkk or phuket.

    So I said that I once put a photo of a Thai lady on marketplace and that many reactions were just crazy,

    Something like buy a ticket for her to the Netherlands, she can buy kale for me next week. No wonder they don't like women in the Netherlands either.

    • @Hans, pairing a Farang with a Thai who doesn't speak English doesn't seem useful to me. Don't forget that most Farang have no idea about the culture and other aspects of rural Thailand or Thai in general.
      Personally, I wouldn't put a photo on the marketplace. It's not a commodity and you're just attracting morons.
      That couple may be well-intentioned, but can also cause a lot of nagging, sadness and situations. Like I said, I wouldn't want to burn my fingers on it.

      • Hans says up

        That those morons are right, you can conclude that from that kale.

        But because of being coupled I also met my girlfriend,

        Incidentally, I didn't know anything about that beforehand, but an acquaintance of mine invited me to his (2nd) house in the Isaan so that I could recover from a major operation.

        Me a helper in the household, of course family of his Thai girlfriend, he already learned a little English.

        I am still grateful to him for that because now my helper has become my sweetheart.

        • @ Yes Hans, but that is different from wanting to link people on Marktplaats. An acquaintance invited you, write yourself already. A somewhat different situation.
          When you place an ad for a Thai woman in NL, empty heads will respond who think they can arrange a housekeeper and bed partner cheaply. You can expect that if you think about it for a moment.

          • Hans says up

            You are right about that, but I as a Dutchman can make a selection of the Dutch empty heads and my Thai girlfriend can do that in turn that of those Thai ladies empty heads.

            In this way I think you can help the unspoiled Thai woman with a decent farang. That was my idea behind it.

            You know yourself that crafty barmaids have the nicest tricks to help the farang get rid of his money. So you don't need those ladies. although I can't tar all barmaids with the same brush.

  6. French says up

    I myself set up a dating site with my then [ Thai ] girlfriend in 2003, if you read what is being asked and what the ladies and gentlemen [ lady boys ] have to do is just outrageous. I stopped doing it right away. I did not want to take that responsibility to bring the Thai or Thai to the Netherlands

  7. harry says up

    I would like to make some critical comments about online dating. I now have quite a lot of experience in this myself. It must be said that I have virtually no language problem with conversational Thai, both spoken and written. This opens many doors that would otherwise be closed would stay.
    It is indeed the case that you can get into a very nice relationship with a Thai lady, which you find on the internet. But mind you, online there is also a lot of chaff among the wheat. Many ladies keep an agenda after who comes when. I can say from experience that about 90% of what you meet online cannot be trusted. I can name countless examples, but that is going much too far here.
    In fact, it is just the same as with the bar ladies, most of them not to be trusted, but there are also good ones.
    It also strikes me very often that everyone from the Isaan is labeled as poor. Ok, I also know that this is largely true. This is also not entirely true.
    I myself very regularly get the question from a Thai lady if I can't find a farang for her. But it is indeed better not to burn your fingers here, as Peter said.
    For me personally I prefer it if the ladies don't know English. But of course I understand that this can be a problem for many.

  8. gourd says up

    I also often get the request if I don't know a single farang for a fellow villager of my wife, I usually point them out on the internet. nowadays you see more and more internet shops in isaan

  9. MJSnaw says up

    the nicest side where you can chat right away is http://www.thailovelinks.com

    • Thai Love links is also good but a bit commercial:
      https://www.thailandblog.nl/outbound/thailovelinks

      • Hans Bos (editor) says up

        Give it to me http://www.dateinasia.com Completely free after registration, incl. chatting.

        • Hansy says up

          That's right, sending email messages is unlimited free of charge.
          In short, here you can get many contacts for free.
          At other sites only registration is free, if you want to send a message you have to pay a membership fee.

          I don't think you can chat on this site, you can of course exchange a chat account or Skype name.

          Another advantage of this site is that you can see who has viewed your profile. Especially non-Thai ladies (the Thai are very reserved) show in this way that they might see something in you.
          A major drawback, which I have found, is that few women have a real interest in you (probably culture related?)
          You will get answers to questions, they hardly ask any questions.

          And I would say, definitely check out Vietnamese women. Many are Catholic, just like the Pinoys, which means that the cultural difference is smaller.

  10. GerG says up

    Completely agree with Harry, I would only put the unreliability percentage of the Thai ladies at 95%. If I find the time again I will tell my story about dating with Thai women via Thailovelink.

    • Hans says up

      in my opinion you say that wrong, 95% of thai women who can use the internet and speak english are unreliable.

      These ladies already know the tricks of the trade by dealing with farangs.
      Proverb, whoever handles pitch will be smeared with it.

      The better educated ladies with money in the family who can also use the internet and speak English generally have no interest whatsoever in a farang from Lutjebroek.

      Many ladies from the Isaan are certainly reliable and would like one
      (ATM) farang. But let me just say that 95% of the tourists do not come to the isaan. And if we go even further, I estimate that 95% of the barmaids come from the Isaan.

      Those girls are only accustomed to poverty and see the farangs spend a month's salary (or 2 a3 ) on booze whores and cords in an evening.

      • harry says up

        Hans, with all due respect, but with your statement that well-educated ladies with money in the family are not interested in farang from Lutjebroek is not entirely true. Speak from experience, but I have already indicated that I have quite a bit of experience with internet contacts. But I completely agree with you about the 95% percent. I put 90% because I was a little afraid of getting a lot of negative responses. But I have to say that from your piece you seem to be quite well informed.
        As a side note, I have to add that most ladies do not trust me either. But I suspect that it also applies to you, although I do not know to what extent you speak the Thai language.
        They don't trust Thai-speaking farang. But then you know right away which meat you have in the tub. This way you can immediately separate a large part of the wheat from the chaff

      • GerG says up

        How can you possibly know I'm wrong, Hans.
        It is my experience on thailovelink. But also my experience in Thailand itself. And I didn't pull the percentage out of thin air. The percentage comes from my experience from conversations with 500 Thai ladies on Thailovelink. And I already mentioned that if I find the time to do my story, I will post my story here.

        • Hans says up

          I would say it's Easter most of them have extra day off so write it down.
          Don't say you're wrong, I'm just writing down my hands-on experience from what I've seen in the isaan. Nice neat girls who can't speak english internet. So you won't find them on a dating site either.

  11. Hans says up

    Harry, thank you for your compliment that you think I am well informed, I will never dare to say in my life.

    As a farang, I honestly think that the Thai view is inscrutable.

    But to be honest, that also sometimes applies to the farang women. Proverb The woman is the boss and the man is the fool.

    Can only benefit from a little bit of Thai / Isaan. Have noticed that the Thai appreciate that. you enter a karaoke bar in bangkok and you order in thai, you don't have a problem with the girls/boys, but just nice chats with them.

    It is also true that you claim that some ladies with money in the family are (sometimes) interested in a farang, I have experienced that myself.

    Another proverb, the exception proves the rule.

    It's damn hard to understand a farang woman, let alone a Thai woman.

  12. HM says up

    Became curious by all the stories, I also registered with ThaiLoveLinks. I immediately received an “'interest” notification. That's pretty quick. She doesn't look Thai at all to me. Rather Arabic. Anyway. She's from Bankok. I may be wrong about that. In any case, I am a bit suspicious of Thai women. Especially if you get a notification from a nice-looking woman so quickly, the photo is missing something that looks more like a girl. You never know whether the person in the photo is behind it. It might as well be a "chick with a dick" 😉

    I am now thinking whether I should respond to her interest at all.
