Thai women appeal to the imagination of Western men. Many try to find their happiness in the 'Land of Smiles'. Sometimes disappointed in Western women, they look beyond the borders.

Soon sold

The handsome Thai women with slim figures and long black hair make men's hearts beat faster. When they are also charming and sexy, you will soon be sold. Yet the packaging says little about the content. Don't make the same mistake your predecessors did by jumping into an adventure completely unprepared.

Tips for the search

How do you start the search? And how do you know if your 'dream woman' is really a dream woman and not an (ex) bargirl whose sole purpose is to strip you? We'll give you some tips.

Let's look at some numbers first. According to an article that was sent to me (unfortunately no source reference) the relations between farang (westerners) and a Thai came about as follows:

  • 60% met a Thai partner in a bar.
  • 30% have their Thai wife or girlfriend through online dating get to know
  • 20% used a relationship mediation agency.
  • 10% came into contact with a Thai woman through his work, study or circle of friends.

We discuss the pros and cons of the above.

A Thai woman from a bar

Let me first state that many Western men are happy with a Thai woman they met in a bar. However, a warning is in order here. A bar is not the right choice to start your search for a reliable Thai partner. Someone who knows little about bar life in Thailand and the ladies who work there can really get down to business. You won't be the first. In some cases it can cost you a lot of money.

There are enough Thai women working in a bar to meet a farang and be willing to step out of the bar life. But you need quite a bit of human knowledge, common sense and knowledge of Thai culture (Isaan) to separate the 'wheat from the chaff'. In this case, I recommend that you firstAfter the Rush' to read.

Online dating through dating sites

Men who are looking for a Thai or Asian woman can start at home behind the computer. Online dating is a great way to get in touch with Thai women. In Thailand, too, the internet is widely used by women as a first step in the search for a Western man. This method is therefore more suitable for newcomers. You better prepare and chat and email with each other first.

Earlier I wrote a fairly extensive article on this topic: “Dating a Thai womanread that carefully. Caution is also advised here. Never just send money and guard your privacy. Of course there are also Thai women with less sincere intentions, they are mainly looking for a sponsor. Some are very cunning. It could be bargirls who use the dating to connect with even more potential sponsors.

A relationship agency

This is a lot safer but a rather expensive way. You never know who you're dealing with. After all, anyone can start a relationship agency. Commercial motives mainly play a role in this. It is important to prepare well in advance. In addition to the sometimes sky-high registration and brokerage costs, you also have to take into account the costs for a trip to Thailand to meet your future loved one. Suppose the meeting is disappointing, then you have already lost a lot of money without any result. I have no experience with dating agencies, so I can't give any tips or advice. My personal preference would therefore be for online dating.

Through friends and acquaintances

This is by far the best method. You usually know in advance what kind of meat you have in the tub. If you know someone with a Thai partner, you could ask them to mediate and introduce you. Facebook is also a good option for orientation and making contacts. You can then see if you have mutual friends, you can go through these people in advance information collect.

The tips at a glance:

  • The bargirl circuit is, especially for newbies, less suitable for meeting a Thai woman.
  • Online dating can work fine if you also ensure proper preparation. Read the tips (Dating with a Thai woman) to avoid disappointment.
  • A brokerage agency can be an option but costs a lot of money.
  • Through Facebook you can get in touch with Thai women. Search especially among your friends. See if you can get in touch with a Thai woman through those friends.
  • Do you know someone who has a relationship with a Thai? Then try to get in touch with other Thai women through her. This method is the most reliable.
  • Immerse yourself in the culture of Thailand and know that many women in Thailand have financial obligations to the family. The booklet 'Thai Fever' is highly recommended.
  • Don't just embark on a Thai adventure, you will come back with a rude awakening. Make sure you have enough information about the pros and cons of dating someone from another culture.
  • Realize that you will always have to deal with prejudice from your environment if you have a relationship with a woman from Thailand.

    I'm on a date in asia, and the use (and therefore exchange of messages) of this site is completely free. I don't know how this website earns its income.

    By the way, not looking for a Thai, but a Filipino. Contacts with them are much easier, the cultural difference is considerably smaller.

    • Steve says up

      I've heard that too. Probably because they are Christian in the Philippines instead of Buddhist.

      • chaika says up

        rather, in the Philippines they almost all speak decent English and in TH, forget it

        • hans says up

          I once read the Philippines have 700 dialects, so that becomes difficult under the influence of the Americans, English is already taught there at primary school. The cultural difference is also big, since the pope preaches that you have to do without a raincoat (aids for free), the children are sleeping everywhere in the house.

          Fortunately, those Americans have not conveyed their morality.

          Yes, even in the small hamlets, the Thai youth receive sex education at school and explain how the pill and condom work. I believe the pill is for sale for 50 tb a month strip, but I could be wrong.

          I think a lot of dollars are also going to Thailand, because why can they only buy a rai land as a farang.

          The English lesson given in the schools is appalling, spoke to a Yankee who I could hardly understand that he teaches English

          • Hansy says up

            Totally incomprehensible response.

            I don't know how many dialects NL knows, there are many, and I hardly understand a lot.

            Many Pinay are RK, but so are Italians. To speak of a great cultural difference because of this belief, escapes me completely.

            And if the Thais receive sex education at school at a young age, then they do very little with it, considering the many very young (and often single) mothers.

            As @chaika points out, many Pinay speak (and write) English, some of them excellent.

            • hans says up

              Hansy, I just checked again. the philippines have 172 dialects and beuit consists of 7107 islands. They know 2 official languages, English and Filipino based on the Tagalog dialect.

              It is the second country in the world after the US in terms of inhabitants that has English as an official language,

              It has been a Spanish colony for 300 years and came into the hands of the Americans after 1898.

              That is why most Filipinos are Catholic and therefore speak good English. The Philippines is also the only country in Asia where Roman Catholicism predominates. Maybe you understand it now with this explanation, otherwise look it up http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/filipinen

              • hans says up

                Hansy

                Forgot to say about that sex education that they don't do anything with it, you can be right. In Isan it is desirable that the daughter enters the marriage as a virgin, otherwise the dowry will not be good.

                So if your daughter starts buying contraceptives, it will be known in no time in the village where she lives. So then the parents' thunder begins, snappie

              • hans says up

                peter
                I made a mistake with the address http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/filipijnen are

              • Hansy says up

                I've been chatting for about 5 months now with a Filipina who writes perfect English, so I know a thing or two by now, partly because she writes very candidly.

                What you are writing now is general information.

                What matters to me is that whether or not to use a contraceptive does not result in a cultural difference. You write this in your response of 20:29.
                And what becomes difficult with 700 dialects escapes me too. Apart from the fact that you bring this number back to 172.

                Incidentally, Pinay also use more and more contraceptives and ignore the opinion of the pope.

    • hans says up

      Hansy

      In my experience, the cultural difference is so far different that I mean that it has to do with the religious experience, contraception is only part of it.

      After all, Thailand is largely Buddhist and the Filip is predominantly Roman Catholic

      On a small scale in the Netherlands you also have the differences between the RK, Streng Ned. Reformed and, for example, the Jehovah's Witnesses and the so-called Gentiles.

      For example, if you see the difference between Indonesia and Bali with Hinduism and other islands with Muslims, that is just a world of difference.

      And as far as the Filipino language you respond to is concerned, that's completely correct, so I had also explained that to my response of 10.35, just read it. it clearly states that english and filipino based on tagalog are the 2 official languages. that's why your chat girl can also speak good english,

  2. HansNL says up

    The cultural difference between Thai and Pinay is really not that big.

    • Hansy says up

      In Thailand, the culture of shame prevails, with us and in the Philippines, the culture of guilt.

      Some pieces have already been written about the culture of shame, which are certainly not easy to handle, especially in relationships.

      So how do you come to the conclusion that the cultural difference is not that big ………

  3. Johny says up

    I met my sweet thai through chat. Without the intervention of others. I have been married for 5 years now and have a daughter who is 4 years old and very happy. PS my thai is from isaan area

  4. Steve says up

    Know what you're getting into with a Thai. Many people think that Thai women are submissive and all that. Well, that's really not right. They just roll over you.

    • meazzi says up

      They are like retail companies, as long as there is money to distribute you are interesting.

  5. Sam Loi says up

    I'll just keep it at mom's house. I am in the fortunate and luxurious circumstance that mothers now earn the money, as I have previously been found by an expert to be unprofitable for the labor market.

    Who in Thailand can repeat this after me?

  6. Sam Loi says up

    Still no one who can share this heavy fate with me?

    • Pim says up

      Sam Loi.
      What a shame for that woman.
      Very unfortunate for her that your benefit is so low .
      But take comfort, there are many here who have it worse than you, but are more sensible with their benefits.
      So also have 1 happy life with their wife who doesn't have to work.

  7. Sam Loi says up

    Allo Allo Pim. I will notify mothers of the statement of support.

  8. Or says up

    I am Thai. I met my husband through dating site.
    We got married in the Netherlands and I have been living in the Netherlands for almost 2 years now.
    I don't work in a bar, but I don't think all women who work in a bar are bad women. You have to look closely at that. Many good women are a little shy. And they don't dare to ask for everything (that's why they aren't that interesting to you).
    Some women (not so good) can show you very well that they are very good, sweet, love you a lot, etc. And for many mannan those women are very interesting!

    There are just as many good women as bad women everywhere… (men too)

    * my Dutch is not good yet because I have just started with Dutch language. But I just want to give my opinion on this topic.

    • @ Or, nice of you to comment. What you say is certainly correct.
      Your Dutch is pretty good. Especially compared to some here 😉

    • Dirk says up

      Dear Or,

      You are very right.

      Your Dutch is very good, better than our Prime Minister of Belgium :-))))

      Congratulations!!!
