There will come a day in every man’s life when he will turn to another man and ask: what are Thai girls like? By clicking on this article, chances are pretty good that today is that day for you.
Thai girls are sweet and giving. they can also be opinionated and vocal, leading you to question whether or not choosing to be with a Thai girl was a good decision at all. Thai girls are also:
- Loyal
- Adventurous
- Family-oriented
It goes a lot deeper than that though, and I’ll be explaining all of the different characteristics of Thai women that you need to know about. Most are good. Some are bad. But they are all incredibly interesting.
For the record, all the information for this article comes from both my own past experience and the current experiences of my friends (ex-pats from the US and Europe) who are living in Thailand right now. They all live with a Thai girlfriend or wife.
While I have never dated a Thai girl, I have worked with them professionally for over 20 years. That, combined with the relationship experiences of my friends, should be enough data to give you all you need to know about Thai girls and what they are really like.
Seriously. What are Thai girls like?
Being with a Thai girl is something special indeed. Thai culture is a very honorable and respectful, and it is a stark contrast to the more selfish cultures of the west.
Thai girls are sticky
One of the most common things I hear from my friends who are dating or married to a Thai girl is that they are incredibly sticky. Once they find someone they are attracted to and comfortable with, the latch on and don’t let go very easily.
Although I’ve never experienced this characteristic while working with Thai women in a professional environment, my friends tell me that this is the best part of being with a Thai girl.
Simply put, they honor and respect the man they are with. Their guy means the world to them, and they want to spend as much time with him as possible.
Thai girls are loyal
Stickiness leads to loyalty. Because Thai girls are so sticky, this naturally translates into being incredibly loyal as well.
My friends tell me that disloyal and dishonest Thai girls are rare. They certainly exist, but for the most part, a Thai girl isn’t going to leave you for another guy once you’re in a relationship with her.
I have noticed trace amounts of this characteristic in the professional workspace as well. Every Thai girl that I’ve ever worked with has come through on her promises. Not only that, they typically went above and beyond to do what they said they were going to do.
Thai girls are opinionated
Despite being sticky and loyal, Thai girls can get quite opinionated at times. Dating a Thai girl is not as quiet and calm of an experience as dating a Japanese woman.
Thai people are not afraid to speak their mind once they get comfortable with the people they are surrounded with. That’s a good thing.
Anyway, to me, this is one of the most interesting characteristics of a Thai woman. When you first meet one, they always seem so quiet and sweet. However (after a while), and you start getting comfortable with one another, all bets are off. You can expect her to say pretty much anything that’s on her mind. Get ready!
As a matter fact, if she’s telling you her deepest opinions, it’s a clear sign a Thai woman likes you.
Thai girls are adventurous
Of all the Asian women that I have met, it’s been the women from Thailand who have been the most adventurous. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why this is, but I have a few ideas:
- Thailand is a very outdoorsy country with many outdoor-type activities. Whenever someone asks me how to meet Thai women, one of my first suggestions is to to join an outdoor club of some kind (cycling, hiking, rock climbing, etc). You’ll meet many people this way.
- The average income is very low in Thailand, meaning that most people have to find low-cost (and interesting) ways to keep themselves entertained.
- Thai people (especially Thai girls) have a zest for life unlike people from many other parts of Asia.
My friends tell me that Thai girls are the most exciting kind to be in a relationship with. They are very active, and it seems as if they’ve always got something interesting going on in their life.
Thai girls are family-oriented
If you’re looking to settle down with someone in a long-term relationship, it’s hard to beat being with a girl from Thailand.
Family is very important in Thai culture, and everything revolves around that close family unit. Families stick together for life, and support each other any way that they can.
This is especially true when it comes to Thai girls, as it isn’t uncommon for them to live with their family until they get married. For some women, that can last deep into their 30s.
What is it like dating Thai girls?
There’s a reason why I have so many friends from the US, Europe, and Australia living in Thailand. Dating Thai women has proven to be a very satisfying experience for all of them. No, it’s not the perfect dating utopia (no place on this planet is), but they all very much seem to like the dating scene in all parts of Thailand.
Dating a Thai girl is a little bit different than dating a woman from other parts of Asia
- She will treat you with the kind of love and respect that you crave. If being with a woman that loves you unconditionally for who you are (including all your faults), dating a Thai girl is for you.
- She will expect you to love and cherish her family just as she does. Remember: family is everything in Thai culture!
- She won’t be afraid to tell you when you’re messing up. Since Thai women can be so opinionated, it’s easy for them to speak their mind whenever they feel the itch to do so.
- She’s going to keep you busy. Not only will you be eating quite well, chances are pretty good that she will be more on the adventurous side and you’ll always be moving from one thrilling adventure to the next. Nearly all of my friends in Thailand tell me that their girlfriends or wives have them constantly going to events and activities all around Thailand.
The most important thing you need to know about dating Thai girls
Dating a Thai girl the complete opposite of dating a girl from a western country. Thai women are not as independent as their western counterparts, and they need more love and support than you may be used to giving.
Anyway, if you are interested in dating women from Thailand, I recommend no other place than eHarmony.com. Yes, it’s a website based primarily in the western part of the world, but it’s user base is massive (and it’s the reason why I declared it as the best website to meet older Thai women). There are many attractive and available Thai woman active on eHarmony at any given time, so good luck!
2 characteristics of Thai women that you need to watch out for
Although most of the characteristics of Thai women are pleasant, there are some that you need to watch out for. Especially if you’re looking to get into a long-term relationship.
1. Watch out for Thai women who are looking for a sugar daddy
The cost of living in Thailand is low because incomes are low. It’s hard to make a good living in Thailand if you don’t have any marketable skills, and this causes many native Thailand people to seek ways of leaving the country in order to find a better life elsewhere.
If you meet a young and beautiful Thai woman who is excessively nice to you after your first interaction, watch out. It doesn’t automatically mean that she’s trying to use you for your money, but it’s a red flag for sure.
It’s always safe practice to ease into a new relationship and take things slow. Women who are just using you for your money won’t have any patience for that, and they’ll move on to their next target quickly.
2. Watch out for Thai women who are looking for an escape from Thailand
My same warning about an overly sticky / young and attractive Thai woman latching on to you too soon applies here. If it seems too good to be true, chances are pretty good that it is.
Again, the best way to weed out Thai women who are just using you for their own personal gain is to go slow and keep your distance in the beginning. It will make the legitimate women(the ones who aren’t trying to scam you) want you more. It will also make the ones who are trying to scam you really frustrated. They will move on quickly.
In general, the characteristics of Thai women are pleasant and nice. Just make sure you’re paying attention and not being blind to the fact that there are bad people in the world who will think of nothing of using you for their own personal gain.
