Thai ladies are very traditional in their cultural ways and for close personal relationships to succeed you must take time to learn about the individual lady and you both need to be sure you wish to make a life time commitment to each other.
As long as you treat them with respect, Thai ladies will respond positively, as they do like calm natured men who are genuine and good at heart.

More Respect

For one, more Thai females are now aware that foreign men do not have the same attitude as some Thai men, the girls realise that with marriage to a foreigner she has a better chance of being well treated, respected and having a faithful husband, something which is not always an option for some Thai girls in their native country. They also feel they have more opportunity to be in a sincere two-way loving caring relationship with a foreigner.

More Balanced Attitude

Another point to note is the legal position is more balanced in the west. In Thailand at present it is still possible for a man to divorce his wife on the grounds of adultery, but not for the wife to do the same to her husband. (The divorce law is Article 1516 of Thai Civil Law and still states [February 2007] that if a wife sleeps with a man who is not her husband she commits adultery, giving her husband grounds to file for divorce. According to the law, however, a woman is unable to reciprocate if her husband sleeps with another woman, except if she can prove that he supports the other woman or regards her as being on the same level as herself).

Even as a divorcee in Thailand there is a stigma attached when it comes to females remarrying, whereas males have very little difficulty.

A Positive outlook

Many Thai women are Buddhist and have a very positive outlook on life. My wife wakes smiling very morning - and in 5 years I have not found a bad bone in her body. She is full of energy and seems to only want to make me as happy as she make me.

A Thai home.

Both in England where we lived and in Thailand my wife is a wonderful home maker - she loves to cook fresh food, maintains the house and is very much a traditional wife. This is her wish not mine but i am very happy knowing she is playing her part in our life together and enjoying it.


I have many friends with Thai wifes and Thai girlfriends and every single one agrees they wouldn't change a thing.
