DOS

Do hire a private detective for a few days; it could be money well spent.
Do get suspicious if you find names to the likes of ‘Ning’; ‘Nong’ and ‘Nat’ on his mobile, they could more than just friends.
Do cook for him and eat together; he would much appreciate and enjoy having a warm family.
Do show the upmost respect to his parents as they arent going to be too happy about you at first.
Do learn some Thai; you do want to verify from his friends his weekend seminars upcountry.
Do dress politely; your sexy tops will not be to his grandmum’s liking.
Do do the housework he would very much prefer a wife that loves her new place.
Do try to stay at home as much as possible; he likes a family being together.
Do get up before him and cook his breakfast; he will love you for that.
Do put on sunblock when you go to the beach; he doesn’t want you looking like a country bumpkin.
Do stick food in his mouth at times; he loves to be pampered.
Do be of a similar age or younger than him; you don’t want him to get bored of you.
Do ask him about his hobbies and interests; he wants you to take an interest in him.
Do ask him if the relationship is going to be a serious one; you don’t need him to mess you around just for his fun of it.
Do, if you get married, register it; you will be wanting to sucker the scoundrel of his finances if he runs off with a new girl.

DON’TS:

Don’t drink too much and definitely don’t smoke; he wants you to look presentable.
Don’t even bothering arguing; he wants you to know who is boss.
Don’t get to too open-minded; he is still a little old-fashioned.
Don’t go out at nights; he prefers a girl that stays indoors.
Don’t get too possessive; you don’t need to irritate him too much.
Don’t marry the guy just cause he has loadsa cash, you may be one wife of many in the future.
Don’t talk about marriage straight off; you don’t need to frighten the poor guy about the finances involved.
Don’t try to outsmart him; he wants to feel that he is the one with the ‘leadership’ qualities.
Don’t go telling his parents about your past boyfriends; they want their son to marry a ‘nice innocent girl.
And finally don’t answer back if he tells you off for forgetting to wash his socks; he would prefer an obedient wife.

Well, i got the idea to write this blog actually from a Thai girl brought up in the States. So, i am writing the advice for all the Farang, Eurasian and Thai girls brought up abroad that are interested in dating a Thai guy in Thailand.
Contrary to rumour not all Thai guys cheat on their loved ones. Guys renowned for playing around with other girls are: police, soldiers and guys with stacks a cash!

This list is pretty genuine and I’m not joking, a few of my Thai friends helped me to write it up. As you will see from the list, the BIG differences in mentality between Thai guys and Farang girls. That is the reason why you seldom see a Thai guy with a farang girl unless he has studied or lived abroad.

    I just had a holiday fling with a Thai man. I ain’t sure if he’s what i want, but I’m sure i had the time of my life when i was with him. I think he’s not abusive, and very funny. I enjoyed my stay with him, and he has been very caring.

    I live in Thailand and very much agree with this bit of info. The only thing I would disagree with is that the only Thai guys who are players are rich, soldiers, or cops. Most of them are players regardless of their status.

    That is true, regardless of the Thai men’s status, they are all players. I went to Thailand months ago. My friends and I were just eating in this food establishment at the airport. He was the one who served our food. He smiled at me then after we ate, we left. He ran after me and my friends and gave his mobile number and email address. Though he cant speak English well, he tried telling me to call him and mail him. When I arrived home in my country, I called & mailed him. Everything was okay, we were exchanging gifts.. I sent it to his country and he did the same. I was trying to know him however, Thai people are very secretive and cynical. When I asked him questions about his likes/dislikes, hobbies..etc, he would stop communicating with me. Then I tried to mail him again asking what’s wrong with me wanting to know him better. After all, that is the reason why he asked me to call and mail him. We were communicating for almost 4 months and a few days, however I noticed him being cold to me already. I asked him to add me up in his yahoo messenger and hotmail network, but he wouldn’t and when finally he did, I noticed a woman in his hotmail network. I just asked if that is his girlfriend. He stopped mailing me again. I know that I may not have the right to question him since I am not his girlfriend. However, what made me confused is that, he told me on our 3rd month of writing that he wants to build a future with me and that he loves me. But now, everything about him changed. Now, he no longer wrote to me and I don’t know why.

    dont trust thai men too much. they may be nice at first but once they feel that u are trying to know them better, they will stay away from u…especially when u ask them about their marital status.
