Most guys who make Thailand their home as either expats or retirees, eventually end up in a relationship or marriage to a Thai girl.
Many guys that I've met seem genuinly happy and their relationships and marriages to their Thai wife seems to work despite cultural differences. A lot of guys are finding out that Thai women can offer something that many western either can't or won't: A loving, caring relationship based on traditional family values.
The reasons why many men find Thailand an attractive place to live is of course the warm climate, the low cost of living, the food, the organized chaos of everyday life, the smiles and of course the beautiful Thai women. Add to that afffordable health care, safety and a good sized expat population and you have a winning combination.
There are many thousand foreign expats living in Thailand in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui and even in Isaan and elsewhere. Most are in relationships with a Thai girl or play the game and 'date' several women at the time. Thailand is quite a tolerant country and does not have the same hangups over sexuality that Judeo-Christian cultures do.
I think Thai women are attractive to men for many reasons: Thai women are known for their beauty around the world. Long black hair, almond shaped brown eyes and slender bodies. Add to that an easy going and fun feminine personality and it becomes obvious why Thai women are in such high demand.
Thai women are also very family oriented and traditional in most ways. They value peace and serenity very high, which means you will rarely get into silly arguments over small things that really do not matter. Thai women, being very feminine, have no desire to compete with a man on his premises. They generally want a strong and assertive man that can make decisions, yet he should be humble, polite and kind. These kind of qualities are the same that women used to want in a man in the West before the feminist movement increased divorce rates tenfold.
For a guy looking to find a Thai wife, there are generally three ways to go about it:
1) Introductions
2) Online Dating / Matchmaking Service
3) Bar Girls / Hostesses / Waitresses
In my opinion, online dating is by far the best way to meet Thai women. Dating sites that are good are ThaiLoveLinks

My way-Asian way
Now Ray did it his way-he wasn’t young, nor rich, nor was he good-looking. He was just like everyone else; an ordinary guy struggling through life’s journey. Work to live and live to work. As for girls, a string of failed relationships left him disillusioned with the women he’d met back home-not that there were many girls around in the town that he’d come from. He wanted to forget all that and concentrate on himself, he wanted to forget women altogether-for while anyhow.
So he came to Thailand, initially with the idea of some form of enlightenment. Back in his own country he saved up as much as possible, quit his job and entered the Kingdom as he had always dreamed of. The Kingdom of Siam, better know nowadays as Thailand; the names themselves muster exotic images of a fruitful land of plenty-a combination of images-where the “King and I”, robed Buddhist monks, lotus leaves and all the splendor of Siamese culture is rolled into one mystical dream world.
Asian life-two months later
It was not what Ray had planned or expected, it “suddenly happened”. He came out of his rented condominium in Suhkumvit one morning to buy his usual Bangkok Post newspaper. Still feeling a little bleary eyed as he entered the small kiosk off one of the Sois, he honed in on the last remaining newspaper and by some strange miracle, seemed to grab the paper simultaneously with someone else. The other hand was a beautiful slender hand with perfectly shaped nails, a singular gold ring on the left little finger. Her face was light brown with almond oriental eyes smiling at him. They gazed at each other for what seemed an eternity. “I’m sorry. You take it” he said. “No, you have it, you were first” she insisted. And there it was, the scene was set, Asian love. Ray hadn’t come to Thailand to meet any women, let alone Asian women. His failed relationships and luckless dating back home had caused him aversion to all women, until now that is. Now life was beautiful, a joy to live and love as he had never experienced. Nantana and Ray were engaged to be married within the space of 6 months. They vowed transparency, and committed themselves to truth. All was well- until the one truth was about to destroy all. Before they met, Nan had been registered on an Asian singles dating agency called sweetsingles.com. She’d forgotten about the site and hadn’t bothered to check her email for months so a stream of emails from “other men” had been building up. It appeared to Ray that she’d tried to conceal all of this and fuelled by his sudden jealousy, he flew into a rage- and out of the apartment. Ray was gone-gone for while at least. He finally returned after he had time to reflect on how irrational he had been. Tail between his legs, he returned to apologize. They made up.
Romance and Technology
Some say that the world isn’t ready for high-tech romances such as online dating, singles-intro and marriage-by-data. Some shy away from it and others, like Ray, still feel it holds an air of smut and illegality about it. Yet, millions register and millions meet and marry. Today the word is changing. Cross-cultural and technological borders are being broken down and millions across the world from Asia to America are successfully meeting their soul mates. Companies such as sweetsingles.com offer free registration allowing members to view and contact their prospective soul mates from all over the world. There’s a whole world out there, and discovery is at your fingertips.
Asian Dating at your fingertips.

Though Bangkok has 3 raunchy red light districts there are only several best places where you can find groups of Thai Freelancers waiting around for customers like you. But knowing where to find them is not enough. You have to know where to stay to avoid paying extra hotel fees and and to save money on short time hotels. Many seasoned visitors to Bangkok's red light district prefer Thai freelancers for several reasons, rather then heading over to a go go bar. First you never have to pay a bar fine to a go go bar which cost a minimum of 500 baht whenever you take a bar girl out. Second you never have to waste money on several expensive beers and a lady drink for the bar girl which will cost you all together another 500 baht. Go go bars will not allow you to sit in their bar and watch the ladies if you don't buy drinks. So already you've spent 1000 baht and that's not including the extra activity price of being with the bar girl for short time (1 hour 1500 baht - 2000 baht) or long time (overnight 2500 baht - 4000 baht+). Dealing with Thai freelancers on the other hand is much more loose and relax, with no pressure. You simply go to a spot where they hang out. You can even buy a litre of Heineken for 45 baht at a 7 Eleven and drink on the streets while watching the ladies. And when you find one you like you can chat with her and not have to buy her a drink. Here's several places where you can find Thai freelancers: Nana Hotel Parking Lot Rajah Hotel Coffee Shop behind Nana Hotel (Russian & Ukrainian women) Between Sukhumvit Soi 5 and Soi 7 (a mix of Thai, Africans, and ladyboys) Nana Entertainment Plaza (at the entrance you'll find a handful of ladyboys) Thermae Bar (Sukhumvit Soi 15, basement of Ruamchitt Hotel) Here's a tip: If you find a girl you like but don't want to pay 1500 baht for short time you can always offer her 1000 baht if she can't find a customer. Believe me, if it's a really slow night and she needs to pay the rent she'll take you up on the offer. A little patience definitely goes a long way. After you've found someone and have agreed on a price you have a choice of going to a short time hotel or back to your own hotel. If you decide to go to a short time hotel you'll have to pay 300 baht for an hour. Don't worry about knowing where a short time hotel is, you're companion will know of the closest one. Your next option is to take her back to your hotel. But you must make sure that you're staying at a guest friendly hotel. If you don't you'll end up paying as high as 1000 baht per companion per night. There are many popular guest friendly hotels near where Thai freelancers hang out. And the best places to find them is near the red light district of Nana. And as you can see from the list above of freelancer hangouts, all of them are in Nana red light district. It really makes sense for you to stay in a guest friendly hotel in Nana's red light district. After all you've already paid for the rooms and you're bed is perfectly fine. Also because if you're paying short time you only have 1 hour. We all know how fast 1 hour can really go by. And you don't want to spend most of that time in a taxi getting back to your hotel on the other side of town. Other times girls will charge you more because they will feel they shouldn't have to pay for their taxi ride when you're finished.

I'm not a plus size girl(at least I dont think so), My waist is 30in and hips are 36.. I had a hard time finding Clothes that fit me correctly while I was there. Most of them were fine(correct fitting), bt I'd like them to b a bit more loose(like hw u see those Thai ladies wearing them).Also finding jeans were a bit hard too, coz m tall and almost all da ones i saw(street shopping) were just up to my ankles, Any Ideas?
Is there any place(street shopping) where u can buy individual pieces of clothing for cheap instead of in 3's and 6's? Thanks a lot!
