On Thai girls and Dating

November 18, 2010 | Author: Jonas JK.Conrad | Posted in Dating

Thailand is a magical place, the beaches, warm climate, unique culture, great food and beautiful women. It’s easy to see how a visitor in Thailand may think that he has found paradise at last. Every years, thousands and thousands of Western men return home from a holiday in Thailand wanting to return as fast as possible. Many times, the reason for this is a woman, and more often than not it’s a bar girl who has put a spell on him. Sometimes, everything works out and the couple live happily ever after, but in other instances, cultural differences and mistaken expectations lead to nasty breakups. Over the years, I’ve seen many Thai-Farang relationships. Those that lasted were generally not those who began in a bar.

There’s nothing wrong with meeting your Thai sweetheart in a bar, I mean, that happens all the time back home, but I think there are good reasons to be vary before entering into a serious relationship with a ‘bar girl’.

First of all, there’s no point in generalizing, Thai women are not the same as isn’t foreign men in Thailand. Yet, most foreign men seem to end up with uneducated Thai women from the particular province of Isaan. This isn’t wrong in any way of course, but I think many foreigners do not really understand how very different life in rural Thailand is compared to their cushy, wellfare states.

Village life does entail waking up at dawn and then working in the field for 12 hours straight simply to put food on the table. If you don’t work in farming, then most will work in menial labor intensive jobs for low pay. Those who get an education will still face an invisible wall in climbing the social ladder. Thailand is in many ways a feudal society and social mobility is low to non existant.

Take a walk down any street in Thailand; do you notice at least one girl sending you a shy look, maybe a smile? Maybe you don’t, cause we as Westerners are not in tune with the subtle signals Thai women send to men they are interested in. Don’t expect a ‘good’ Thai girl to make the first step.

That’s why I generally tell my friend to try Thai dating sites first..
