To be completely open, I am married and live in Bangkok. I met my Thai girlfriend while employed at a go-go establishment. From my observations, a “proper” Thai woman can be found virtually anywhere. That is contingent on the girl in question. However, the task would be considerably more manageable if the search was restricted to individuals who were not engaged in the world of bars. That means that you would not typically encounter women working in go-go establishments or beer bars, as their role is to accompany patrons. Their viewpoint regarding foreign men (farangs) will differ significantly from that of an individual whose livelihood does not revolve around the sex trade. This may also include women who have held positions as “additional in massage salons.

Women who hold steady employment in institutions such as medical facilities, large retailers, eateries, and the like will value a good man more for who he is than his financial capabilities (this is a subject that is perpetually debated). They often possess the ability to sustain themselves on a considerably modest income, and their expectations are frequently not as ambitious. They remain unaffected by the allure of quick cash associated with “traveling with clients.”

Additionally, finding a Thai woman with some education is a tremendous plus. To initiate a meeting with them, a simple salutation suffices. Inquire concerning their family. Invite them to tea. Avoid both pushing and rushing. Exercise patience. These women are frequently paid little and receive only three to four days off per month, despite working endless hours. They have no additional funds for parties, cinema, or buying things, so any contribution (within reason) would be greatly appreciated. Prepare yourself to encounter the family should she develop a favorable opinion of you. Show that your motives are good, and you may be pleasantly surprised by the degree of gratitude she expresses in return.

Is it currently feasible to encounter a “normal” woman in a bar? It is indeed feasible. However, keep in mind that she will have a past that you will both need to confront in order to be in a relationship that is not financial. Operating in a field where a typical or monthly salary can be as much as ten times greater than somebody earns in a non-sex-related occupation (for significantly less effort) will undoubtedly influence their perspective.

Thailand has an entirely different culture than the West. Experiencing the way Thais think and the way women perceive themselves can be a challenge for those who have held positions involving “close” relationships with foreign men.

To adapt to the Thai way of pondering, a Western man must undergo a shift in the way he was raised. It is not to be approached lightly.

Beekeeper John says:

I am regretful that I have never had the opportunity to meet Thai ladies before; if I were to be completely honest, I would have a happy marriage much, much earlier rather than having two sad marriages. In the course of my life, I decided to sign up for ThaiBridesOnline.com, an online dating service that caters to Asian brides. Despite the fact that I liked the attention I received from them as a western guy on a dating website, I found myself looking for something casual until I met Blossoms. I didn’t have high expectations for the attractive women of Thailand. She made me fall in love because she provided me with support and care that I never imagined were available to me before. She gave me adorable little notes, and at the same time, she turned out to have such a profound personality. She was really nice. I decided to travel to Thailand, and you know, I had the stereotype that Thai women were easy to get along with. Therefore, I anticipated that I would have no trouble advancing my relationship with Hathai. It came out that she was the lady I had always imagined she would be: she was family-oriented, a little bit traditional, extremely caring, and yes, discriminating. Despite the fact that we have been married for four years, I have to say that I do not believe I could be happier with any other lady.
