You may have noticed the large ad prominently placed in the right sidebar recently. The photo is actually a link to Thai LoveLinks, which is a Thai oriented dating site. Why is it there? Well aside from the obvious reason that it fits with the subject matter of the blog (all things Thai) Thai LoveLinks is a site that is very dear to both Golf and I.

You see, its at Thai LoveLinks that Golf and I first met almost five years ago. It’s amazing to me that time has flown by so quickly and now we’ve added a third member to our family and it all started at this site. As you can see from the two of us the site definitely works. If you are looking for a new romance with a Thai girl or even if you just want to make some new friends or get someone to teach you Thai on a regular basis the Thai LoveLinks is worth a look.

Unlike some other foreign dating sites I’ve been to there appear to be very few scammers or con artists working Thai LoveLinks. All I found were genuine Thai women looking to meet foreigners whether it be for love or even friendship. Not only did I meet my future wife at Thai LoveLinks, but I was able to significantly add to my Thai vocabulary and even my pronunciation since some of the girls I spoke with used webcams.

When I started using Thai LoveLinks I got message after message from Thai women that wanted to chat with me. Before I met Golf I think I was regularly talking with 4 or 5 Thai girls. Two of them especially were very helpful to me in learning more Thai. Even now they remember me and if I write to them they write back immediate and want to know how I’ve been and if everything is well with both me and Golf.

To give you some idea, here is the description from Thai LoveLinks themselves: “ThaiLoveLinks.com is a Thai dating and Thai personals site connecting Thai singles seeking friendship, dating, romance or marriage. Join our dating site and start using chat rooms, meet Thai girls seeking marriage, Thai ladies seeking friendship, Thai penpals and more. Get started now! – Join for free to start meeting Thai women for dating, romance or maybe even marriage.”

Thai LoveLinks is a great way to meet Thai ladies, if Golf and I aren’t testimony enough just look at the page after page of featured success stories on Thai LoveLinks. You’ll see that this site has made many men and women very happy. I wish there were some way to share the happiness I have now because of Thai LoveLinks with the whole world. Well, thanks to this blog I can share it with some people at least. If you want to make friends with a Thai girl, have a penpal, learn Thai or even find the love of your life then you have to go to Thai LoveLinks.

If you do go to Thai LoveLinks and you find that you need help with something that is language or culturally related please drop me a line in the comments here. Both Golf and myself would be more than happy to help you in any way we can.

Do you ever ponder why quite a few European blokes frequently prefer dating Thai girls? It’s really not too hard of a question to answer in my mind. This article makes sense of its complex connotations and gives two probable explanations why it just feels good to have a Thai woman for a lover.

They believe in taking care of their fellow:

While it may sound sexist, a good deal of Thai girls are raised to care for their guy and be obedient to him. Serving their fellow and listening to what he says makes them believe they’re being more loyal to him than if they weren’t. If you were to mention these same behaviors around a lot of Western girls you would probably be ripped to bits and called a misogynist for even trying to mention a girl could be caring for a guy and being obedient to him. These behaviors have basically been wiped out in modern Western culture; Western ladies seem to be determined to be doing all they can to not take care of their guy, to not be obedient. Thai woman in contrast are more than happy to care for their guy and do things for him like cook and make sure that he’s happy. Seeing their guy happy makes them feel happy, while seeing their man in turmoil makes them feel uneasy.

Thai women are delicate and feminine:

This may be a second one that might sound offensive, but Thai women tend to be a good deal more delicate and feminine than most westernized women are. They frequently take extra steps to have a diet that will make sure their body remains looking nice and petite. They frequently have strong feminine qualities that are difficult to find in most Western girls. Men value these traits probably more than they value good looks, but you can’t to tell most American girls this as they just won’t believe you. The Thai women exudes all of the qualities of women\girls from an age that’s in the past, it’s so uncommon that a lot of guys would give almost anything to have that kind of girl with them. The Thai woman is a modern version of the American lady of the past.

These are just two of the qualities Western fellows appreciate about Thai women. When fellows say they’d prefer to be dating Thai women, they really are referring to a lady who’s not direct nosed, assertive, or frigid, rather a sweet lady and a girl worth keeping. I’m not stating that you’re not able to locate this type of lady in the West, however it just seems to be much easier to locate in Thailand and that’s why it makes sense for a lot of Western men to be dating Thai women.

I book in at Bangkok airport, sat waiting for my flight home and engage in a conversation with an Englishman. He was happily married to a Thai and had been for some 10 years he lived in the North of Thailand. He was now returning to work in England. After much talk he offered up the following advice. [...]

The guys that are you seeing this that are looking to meet Thailand girls should know about the Thai personals website called ThaiLoveLinks. This site is definitely the number one Thai personals and Thai dating site around. With hundreds of thousands of Thai ladies in their database there’s really no better way to begin getting to know Thai women.

I wanted to do a speedy check to see how the website was to use, so I browsed over there and made up a profile. Making the profile was free and in approximately five minutes I was done and logged in. And that was a total profile including my photo and a quick description of me and the kind of woman I was looking for.
After logging in I was interested to see the women that were on Thai Love Links. What a surprise! Even though it was early in the morning in Thailand there were 100’s of girls on the site. And after looking about for just 5 minutes at the Thai girls logged on I saw dozens that I was interested in. The only other way you could locate so many beautiful Thai ladies together in the same place would be to head off to Thailand!

Unfortunately it takes 48 hours for your uploaded picture to get approved because I was interested to see what kind of response I would get from the women. The Thai Love Links site says that you get over ten times the response with a picture and that’s not surprising. Not surprisingly the girls want to see you as much as you would like to see them. It will be interesting to see what occurs once the picture is posted. Meeting Thailand girls has never been simpler.

The online chat feature is possibly the best as it lets you get online and start talking with Thai ladies within minutes. Or if you are not sure or short on time just send interest to the ladies and let them respond to you.

To finish, I would have to say that since there are so many Thai girls on the website and it is so full featured that Thai Love Links is the #1 Thai dating and personals site available. It is totally professionally built and is robust, easy to use and quick loading. With the ability now to get online and talk no matter where on the planet you are meeting Thai ladies has never been easier.

I think the most cute girls in the world are Thailand girls. I believe you have possibly already read about this on Thailand Musings before, but I believe that it bears restating. If you are on this website reading this post then I’m confident you believe it too when I state that Thai girls are certainly the cutest girls on the planet. I suppose that might be disputed and I would be pleased to hear your opinion in the comments below, but that is my idea and I’m sticking to it.

What makes me think that Thailand girls are so amazingly sexy you might ask. Well, the reasons are numerous, but here are just a few:

• Their gracious demeanor
• The shy smiles
• Slender sexy bodies
• Soft raven black hair
• Exotic dark eyes
• Silky smooth skin

Don’t get me wrong, other girls of the world have their merits as well, but it seems none of them get my interest like Thailand girls.

Besides which, Thai women take care of their husbands unlike anything I have ever experienced in America. From dinner and cleaning to the bedroom, Thailand girls are a treat as a spouse. I know not every relationship is ideal and neither will your relationship with a Thai woman be, but it is as close to the ideal as I’ve found. Sure there are bumps, but they are mostly small and many times culturally caused, just requiring some learning and sympathy on each person’s part to avoid in the future.

If you’re ready for the experience of your lifetime and happiness in abundance then I recommend you get out there and find yourself a cute Thai girl today. There are scores of ways to meet Thai women, even if you’re not presently in Thailand. If you do happen to be in Thailand then so much the better, simply initiate conversations wherever you are, possibly asking for assistance with your Thai or where the limes are in the supermarket or whatever. It’s simple to break the ice and once you are beyond the initial stage of connecting it’s quite easy to get a phone number.

If you are not physically in Thailand then it’s different, but still simple for you to meet Thai women. Just browse on over to Thai Love Links.com and begin browsing. Once you’ve found a Thai girl that you think is interesting or attractive send her your interest and that’s it. It’s so easy on ThaiLoveLinks because the women are there for the same thing as you, to meet foreigners, to hook up and presumably marry a foreigner.

If you agree with me that Thailand women are the cutest women in the world then get out there and locate one for yourself. There’s simply no excuse at all to believe that you can’t have a sexy young Thai girl fall in love with you. So many of them are attracted to foreigners, that hooking up with one is like shooting fish in a barrel. Once you’ve dated some cute Thailand girls you’ll definitely thank me for pushing you to do so.

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.

Wouldn’t you like to meet a hot Thai girl? Most guys I’ve spoken with love Thai girls and think that Thai girls are exceptionally hot. I’m pretty sure they would all love to find a simple way to connect with hot young Thai girls.

In the past, if you were interested in Thai girls for love and dating you would have to hop on a plane and go to Thailand. It’s possible that those who lived in large metropolis’ like New York or London could be able to locate Thai girls without the trouble of traveling, but in a lot cases these women were already dating someone or married. The only sure way to meet a hot Thai girl was to go to Thailand.

This presented several issues including the money, the time involved and the fact that having arrived in Thailand you needed to locate the women that were actually interested in American fellows. This was frequently not a simple task in a city of millions.

That has now changed and all blokes can now connect with a hot Thai girl. And you can bet that they are interested in connecting with you as well. Yep, there are tens of thousands of Thai women going online to connect with European guys. These are all ladies that are very interested in connecting with European and American men and frequently they are even willing to relocate to your country.

In my case, I’m already married to a sexy hot Thai girl (Love You Golf! ), but if I was single I would certainly be online meeting Thai ladies by the hordes. I feel that, there’s no quicker way to meet a hot Thai girl then by using the Thai personals sites. If you’ve never tried it I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. ThaiLoveLinks is where Golf and I met, why not give it a try?

If you have any questions regarding meeting a hot Thai girl online please leave me a comment and I will be pleased to elaborate.

I’m seeing a fad in Thailand for several decades. A craze of European and American men coming to Thailand and signing with dating agencies to find Thai brides. As American and European societies mutates and Western women become increasingly liberated and increasingly similar to blokes, conventional American and European guys are turning to Thailand to find a more conventional wife. Thai women are usually pretty, slim, take very good care of themselves and also take extremely good care of their spouses. They make dinner, they clean, they take care of the children and they make their guy feel as if he is a King. It’s no wonder American and European fellows desire a Thai bride.

For the girls, the men are perceived as a good catch. European and American guys, even less affluent ones, typically have more money than Thai men. American and European guys present a Thai woman a chance to leave Thailand and visit another country. American and European guys are viewed by some Thai women as being kinder than Thai men and Thai guys have a certain notoriety for not being monogamous. Lots of Thai blokes also don’t settle down after marriage, and keep a girlfriend even though they have a bride and kids at home. So for some Thai girls, an American or European guy afford things a Thai man does not.

As you might imagine, there will be some complications in marrying a Thai bride. Language differences, cultural dissimilarities and visa concerns come immediately to my mind when considering some of the issues that Thai-Western couples may come across. Overall though a Thai bride might be a great idea for many fellows that have become disillusioned with American and European ladies. If you begin the marriage with some planning and with discretion you have a great chance of having a outstanding marriage.

To the fellows who come to Thailand searching for love and a Thai bride, I say “Best of luck”. It can occur for you, especially in this day and age of web dating and personals. It certainly did happen for me and I couldn’t be happier. To the Thai women I say Get to know this bloke slowly. In any culture, there are good and evil. Look out for warning signs, and believe in your instincts. If you have questions, they are present for a reason. Remember that money isn’t everything.

Several weeks ago I wrote a post “What Do You Want to Know About Thailand” and I got some very good questions. I know I’ve gotten a bit sidetracked since then and I still have a few questions hanging out there so I want to finish answering those and if anyone else has any questions about Thailand or Thai culture please go back to that post and leave a comment or contact us with your question. I’ll be posting all of the answers here at Thailand Musings so don’t forget to subscribe so you won’t miss any of the great questions and answers.

Here is another question regarding Thai culture and the willingness of Thai women to meet and marry significantly older western men. I find this a particularly good subject because it is exactly the question that Golf asked me when we first met on ThaiLoveLinks. I think her question went something like “Why do so many old guys try to chat the young girl on here”. Needless to say I took this a bit personally and felt it necessary to explain. The rest is history.

Question about age differences: Let’s face the facts, I am a 55 year old guy talking with a 30 year old Thai woman. I am well aware that I could produce children. But I may not be still around past age 75, who knows? And I could have ten year old kids when I reach retirement age. I do not want to put a woman and kids at risk, and can certainly make provisions for their support after I am gone. I’d be interested in any success or failure stories you have encountered regarding this. Of course, here in the US, this degree of age difference in marriage is relatively rare, and perhaps even somewhat scandalous. Not that I am ungrateful, but why is a large age span seemingly so acceptable for many Thai women?

Stories regarding Thai women and western men meeting and dating or marrying are very common on the internet and will run the gamut from wildly successful to depressing failures. Do a Google search for Thai women + foreign men and you’ll find hours of reading material. For success stories go to the testimonials of ThaiLoveLinks (where Golf and I met) or simply read about Golf and I. The International Herald has a good story about this subject as well. For failure stories you’ll find plenty, but most of them involve Thai bar girls. By meeting a good Thai girl you can avoid a lot of the common pitfalls you find on the internet.

The reason a large age span is acceptable is often very personal to the girls and I hate to generalize, but if I have to do so then there are several commonly accepted reasons that Thai girls date and/or marry foreigners so much older than themselves.

First, many Thai girls are looking for stability, both financial and in the relationship, and older foreign men are typically able to provide both. They are in general financially well off, especially by Thai standards and this is viewed as a definite positive. They are also more settled and less prone to wander than their Thai counterparts. Add to that the western cultural ideal of monogamy and they become even more attractive to Thai women who are used to seeing Thai men that are promiscuous and prone to having mistresses.

Thai’s also value white skin very much and in fact those with darker skin are perceived to be of a lower class in Thai society. Typically children of Thai/western marriages tend to be much lighter skinned and thus more accepted in society. The Thai’s even have a name for such children of mixed parentage which is ‘Luk Kreung’ and literally means ‘child half”. You’ll find many famous Thai actors and models are luk kreung including pop singers Tata Young and Lanna Cumming.

One aspect that is often overlooked by westerners is that traditionally Thai marriages were often arranged by parents, not on the basis of love, but for mutual benefits between the families such as a property tie up or business merger. Westerners don’t understand this type of arranged marriage and often don’t consider this aspect of Thai culture yet it is very ingrained and accepted in Thailand. Because of this Thai women can sometimes view their bodies as property (Thai men view them this way as well which is a reason Thai women don’t care for Thai men) and as such have no problem using it to gain a better social or financial standing.

In the beginning the Thai girl may not even like her husband much, but over time a love and mutual respect grows. As the two get to know each other better an assimilation of each others culture begins to occur and the bonds between a Thai woman and her foreign husband can grow very strong. It’s good to understand these dynamics better, but I think we older western guys should just be thankful for our beautiful Thai ladies and not question too much. After all, it sure beats the alternative.

I woke up at 5 o’clock in this morning with my eyes still closed…tired, have to push myself so hard because I want to go to the gym. Steve has to be at work before 6 so I just need him to drop me at the gym first and then I can go back to nap again later.

One thing (from a lot of things) that different between Thailand and here is “size”. Yes,size…

I grew up with the size that different from Thai women size. What is the Thai women size look like? Hmm…mostly for Thai women will have the average height around 5′ to 5’5″, most of them thin and also small but for me is 174 centimeters or 5’8″. And do you know seem like I’m the tallest one in my nursing class on that time. So when I stay with my Thai girl friends I will be a lot different from them.

The problem was when I went to shopping either with them or by myself I have to pray for myself…please have my size for these sexy dress, please let me fit with these Jeans or those cute pants something like that. One good thing is I’m not a fat girl so not that difficult for me for find my size at least sometimes anyway. Still for my clothes size will be “large” or “extra-large”, once a while will be lucky with medium but just occasionally.

First few weeks since I got here, Steve said I need to get the coats and some clothes for wintertime. Ok, I said because I think it would be nice and can see what and how is the shopping mall in here look like. After we’re done with choosing process and then I have to try them on. Steve asked me what size do you want to try on Golf? For me no need to think though because I know my size. So I told him right away “extra large” or at least “large” honey. But you know what…make me surprise a lot! Because they’re too loose and for finally I ended up with smaller size!!! OMG

I couldn’t believe on that time, I called and talked to my friends. They laughed so hard and said if they come over here they might have to wear the kid size. ;-D

I had the conversations with some of my friends at work. And I brought this story up while we talked because I wanted to know what and how do they think about it. Most of them had exactly the same idea that because people in here, a lot of them are overweight and big so that’s why they have to produce the size of the clothes similar to the size of people in here.

Hmm ok, I got it…but what if they have to travel to Thailand then what ‘s going to happen?

In Thailand we don’t have so many places where we can drive through just like in here. We don’t have McDonald’s drive through, the banks drive through or Starbucks drive through etc. Every place we need to go and get the service from we need to walk in and not so convenient like this. Well, we have the delivery for some, but still not as good as drive through. And I like it a lot…but sometime I think it’s too much. Because when you can get every things so easy and so convenient, you will getting lazy and for finally don’t want to do anything.

Just my idea…
