When you meet a girl and you like her or think she’s pretty you want to be able to tell her right? It can be hard enough for some of us when the girl speaks the same language as us, but what can you do if you’ve just met the Thai girl of your dreams and don’t know how to tell her how you feel?

Here are a few phrases of love that will go a long way in letting your girl know how you feel and finding out how she feels. Don’t let the spoken language barrier block the language of the heart.

Updated with Thai script as requested by Porn so you can now surprise your girlfriend by sending her some words of love in writing.

koon suay mak (คุณสวยมาก) – You are very beautiful
koon na-ruk mak (คุณน่ารักมาก) – You are very cute
koon tam hai pom mee kwarm sook (คุณทำให้ผมมีความสุข) – You make me happy
pom kit teung koon (ผมคิดถึงคุณ) – I miss you

Thai culture expects men to pay a dowry (sin sot in Thai) or bride price prior to the marriage as a symbol of love, respect, appreciation and gratitude to the wife’s parents for raising and caring for her. It is a long standing tradition and is widely accepted in Thailand.

It seems that it developed from the fact that Thailand has no social benefits and children take care of their parents. Traditionally, sons will pay for the upkeep of the parents and the girls will do work for them (house and farm). So, when a daughter leaves her parents they are “compensated” with the dowry since the daughter will now “work” for her husband.

It is also a sign of readiness to support the future wife. In the West we are taught that love is separate from money, but in other cultures money may represent a symbol of love. I know that this is very different from the way that we think of money and love in the West. Part of this connection is due to the way that Thai people value generosity. Generosity is highly valued and it is often hard for Thai people to understand if someone does not want to show generosity.

Of course today many Thai parents are more modern thinking and the dowry is often more important as a visible sign to the community of how successful the new son-in-law is. The concept of “face” comes into play here. I can’t say that I understand this concept completely and will have to say that it is fundamentally about the perception other people have about us and ones importance relative to others.

It is acceptable to “negotiate” the dowry as well. Usually this will be done by a close friend or family member of the groom, however in the case of a foreigner marrying a Thai girl it would be done by the future bride. The amount of the dowry can vary widely and is usually dependent on how successful (and rich) the groom is (or perceived to be). Keep in mind too that many times the parents will return the dowry to the couple immediately after the wedding as a gift.

In my case, my in-laws gave back the gold in the dowry as a gift as well as much of the cash. They kept the money that was received from our guests as gifts to pay for the wedding ceremony. I thought this was extremely fair and generous, especially since it wasn’t expected. Of course each situation is different and while it is definitely more common these days for the return of the dowry as a gift it still isn’t an automatic.

I think the bottom line is if you love your Thai girlfriend then I wouldn’t worry too much about the dowry. If it is something you can afford then it is really no big deal. I mean really, how can you compare money to love? Money you can make more of it anytime, right? But for love…it is so elusive and difficult to find and keep. Ask yourself…can I live without this woman…then ask the same question about the dowry. I think that will put things into perspective.

Lately I’ve noticed that there are lots of guys out there considering lovely Thai girls as girlfriends, and why not? Because you’re here taking in this post I know that you too are interested in finding out how to meet Thai girls for dating, love and maybe even more and I hope I can assist you in your search.

If you have visited Thailand in the past then you’ve seen the large numbers of lovely Thai girls in the streets and stores and you probably already know how simple it is to find a Thai girlfriend. If that is what you want then I know you’ll be able to get what you need.

And how about those of you reading this that haven’t been to Thailand – is it possible for you also date a attractive Thai girlfriend?

Totally and you should know that it’s quite easy besides. Because of the genius of the internet finding Thailand girlfriends couldn’t be easier or more rewarding. All you have to do is enroll with a good Thai personals site and within five minutes you can be meeting ladies in Thailand. By the way, this works for those of you that have visited Thailand as well.

Connecting with lovely Thai girls online is the next great thing in dating. Thai ladies have obviously caught on to the web and it appears that this is now their medium of choice to meet single European and American fellows. You’ll find that there are literally hundreds of thousands of girls that have created profiles on Thai dating websites and they all have one thing in common – they are interested in connecting with and marrying Europeans and Americans.

This is a great development for us fellows on many levels. First off, meeting Thai girls is now cheap and easy. It’s no longer necessary to put out thousands of Euro’s or dollars just to travel to Thailand and begin the process of connecting with the women. You can start meeting lovely Thai ladies very inexpensively from the comfort of home.

This is how Golf and I met and I can’t say enough how glad I am that I finally put my pride aside and decided to try out ThaiLoveLinks. It was definitely the best decision of my life thus far.

Secondly, it’s no longer necessary to frequent the pubs of Thailand to meet girls. Now, I like a beer as much as any other man, but let’s face it, the honesty of the women in clubs is quite often questionable. It may be good for a one nighter, but not really so appealing if you’re searching for a girlfriend or spouse. Now you can keep your partying separate from your girlfriend search, which is probably a very wise thing.

So, listen to me if you are thinking of Thailand girlfriends get yourself online and start the search there. You can always travel to Thailand after you have gotten to know some Thai girls, which might make your visit even more pleasant. I hope this has been a help to a few of you and please leave me a comment below if you have any questions.

Why do you need a Thai girl as your girlfriend? Have you thought about the real answer to this query? I believe for quite a few men it’s really easy to figure out as they have either been residing in Thailand for some time or else they have considerable experience with Thai culture and Thai girls. On the other hand, if this is a dream for you and you haven’t had any experience with Thailand you could need to think a bit on why you desire a Thai girlfriend.

For whatever reason, there are a considerable number of Western men who adore Thai women. It may be the slim bodies, the attitudes or the attention of Thai girls that makes them so pretty, but the point is they ARE sexy. Traveling to Thailand is simple enough and you could be surprised to find that getting a Thai girlfriend is simple enough as well.

There are the typical methods of meeting girls such as clubs, but I wouldn’t counsel taking this way unless you’re prepared for distrust, requests for dosh and a broken heart. There are better methods and you’ll discover that there are many awesome sites online to assist you in meeting Thai girls. These sites have tens of thousands of women all hunting for the exact thing you are, friendship, love and maybe even marriage.

Any of the Thai dating website can put you in contact with literally thousands of cute Thai girls who are looking to become your girlfriend. It won’t make any difference whether you’re in Thailand or located elsewhere in the world, these personals sites will make sure it’s easy for you to locate a Thai girlfriend. You’ll discover that quite a few of the ladies register for love, but many are also there simply looking for a bit of fun.

After connecting with a few of the girls, working past the inevitable language issues and getting to know a few of them you’re very likely to spend a bit of your time emailing and chatting online. If you can get a webcam this is even better as the ladies will certainly desire to see what you look like. It shouldn’t be too long until you have a pretty serious communication going with one (or more) of the girls.

At this juncture you’ll possibly desire to head over to Thailand, if you’re not already there, and hook up with the women in person. While the personals scene in Thailand is super for Westerners, there are 1000’s of blokes who have gone the route of connecting with their Thai girlfriends through Thai personals sites. It certainly beats meeting the girls in a bar or club.

If you do travel to Thailand and meet a girl in a club there are certainly some things to be aware of. It appears that a lot men lose all common sense when connecting with Thai women in clubs, so attempt to keep your wits about you and don’t add to the fodder for stories about love gone sour on the internet. Always remember that the whole reason women work in bars is to make cash. They may fantasize of a knight in shining armor to sweep them away, but this is simply that, a dream, and earning money is primary.

If you go about it correctly and take your time then there’s no reason you can’t locate a Thai girlfriend and love through the Thai personals websites. Many websites on the web attempt to tell you about getting a Thai girlfriend as if it is a set process, but it’s really no different than beginning a relationship anywhere else. Simply take it easy, be honest and trust your instincts.

It’s not possible to totally explain how to get a Thai girlfriend in a post like this, just as it wouldn’t be possible to completely tell you about getting a girlfriend anywhere in the world. The first step is to begin meeting the women and the easiest method for doing this is using the Thai personals sites. After that it’s your call where you need any potential relationships to go. All I can say is that Thai girls are super and finding a Thai girlfriend is easier than you might believe.

Do you think that Thai love is different from love in the West? Quite a few men are looking for information regarding Thai girls and Thai dating that it appears that somehow they have the notion that Thai love is somehow a different sort of love than that found in the West.

It’s true that the rules surrounding dating and matrimony are different in Thailand, but I don’t feel that Thai love is greatly different than that found in any other country of the world. Thai ladies have the same sensitivity and the same depth of love as any other woman, no matter where you might be.

So, try not to read too much into what you will hear about Thai women and dating. Of course, you’ll run up against some differences once the connection is begun if you decide to take it to the next steps, however the actual blooming of love shouldn’t be significantly different than what you are used to in Europe or America.

If you make the effort to get to know the girl and Thai language and culture then you shouldn’t have a lot of trouble in cultivating both a friendship and an enduring love for one another. In questions of the heart I don’t believe that nationality is too considerable. We all have similar feelings no matter what nation we come from.

So please try not to fixate too much on the disparities in the customs of Thailand as you begin your quest to locate a Thai girlfriend. Instead, keep your attention on the lady and her thoughts and dreams. You’re both searching for the same thing, specifically love, and while it might be a ephemeral thing, once located you will wonder how you ever survived without one another.

Trust me, the love of a Thai lady is an astonishing thing and the depth of that love can sometimes be unexpected. If you take the time to really relate to a Thai girl you will fathom completely what I mean.
