Why Many Thai-Farang Relationships Fail
Thailand is a magical place for both tourists, expats, and retirees. I have yet to meet someone who has been to Thailand, who didn’t like it there. In fact, most people I know would like to go back again as soon as possible. A lot of guys from America, UK, or elsewhere, work in Thailand or have retired in Thailand. Naturally, most of them are or have been in a relationship with a Thai girl. Many have had bad experiences. In most cases this could have been avoided with knowing a little more about Thai culture and society before entering into a serious relationship.
I am not talking about the stuff you can read in travel books, like no kissing in public; but about what expectations Thais have of foreigners, and how they view interracial relationships.
First of all, there’s no point in generalizing: Thai women are not the same; and neither are all foreign men who happen to be in Thailand. Yet, most foreign men seem to end up with uneducated Thai women from the particular province of Isaan. This isn’t wrong in any way, of course; but I think many foreigners do not really understand how very different life in rural Thailand is compared to their cushy, welfare states.
Village life does entail waking up at dawn, and then working in the field for 12 hours straight simply to put food on the table. If you don’t work in farming, then most will work in menial labor-intensive jobs for low pay. Those who get an education will still face an invisible wall in climbing the social ladder. Thailand is in many ways a feudal society, and social mobility is low to nonexistent.
So, if you meet a girl from this situation, try to keep in mind that where you have a lot of choice, and likely grew up knowing that there were many options available to you; a poor Thai girl does not have these options. Her chances of social mobility are quite limited; and for many, being married to a foreigner means a much higher standard of living — not only for her, but for her family. Speaking of families, the pressure from parents can be quite strong when they find out that she is dating a perceived rich foreigner.
So ask yourself: Am I ready to support my girlfriend/wife?
I believe many guys would be much happier if they tried meeting women from the middle class instead — who are not looking for security, but rather for experiences and freedom.
Online dating Thailand is a good way to meet Thai women online.
