Would a Thai girl prefer a Thai guy? A Westerner? Or how about a Thai born and raised in the west?

Answer 1

all of the above.

Answer 2

Maybe I can give the best answer because I am a Thai girl and I am also married to a foreigner ??? LOL

Actually, It is too superficial to answer who I prefer being with between a Thai guy or a Farang guy. I honestly believe that Thai men make good husbands because I have great a great dad and 2 cool older brothers who don't fail in their marriages ..plus they are great dads to my nieces ...

I didn't really prefer a farang to a Thai guy when I dated but it is all about timing and work situation I were engaged in... it is not about the looks and I am not a gold digger ... coz I don't need my husband's money to live or to make me happy ... we share pretty much the same values in life and dreams ...

I think it is not about being Thai or being Western ... if 2 people get along together and it is right .. then it just is ... !!

Answer 3

Oh man!!!

It depends on each girl. Some girls prefer MONEY, no matter you are Thai or Westerner. Just have lots lots of money to spoil her, you can get everything.

But MONEY can't work with some Thai girls, so be careful.

Thai born and raised in the west is in trend now. That means the girl can live in the West with you. The girl can get on the plane, travel around the world, and talk about this to her friends and relatives. Most of the girls like this opportunity. Thai people call "go inter". It's cool.

Answer 4

Yep its the places they go , also Thai people generally talk there own language which is Thai. Unless the beer bellied westerners are prepared to learn the language they will have next to no chance of meeting anyone other than a hooker. Its a great shame as Thai people are the best in the world.

Answer 5

Please don't generalise and stereotype Thai girls. DO NOT for a second think that all Thai girls are out to get a foreigner.

I agree with el cid that they are more likely to prefer Thai man because of the reason stated above.
Because there are a lot of foreigners who married Thai girls, this gives the impression that they prefer foreigners. This is NOT a race issues. A lot of these girls are from a poorer circumstances and only want the best in life for the rest of her family - usually her parents, as it is Thai culture to look after your parents when they are old. So they want stability. They marry foreigners so that it will also benfit her family.

It is not about where you are born. IF you are going to give them stability in life, they will accept you. However, a lot of modern Thai girls who are in a good living standard probably prefer and look for a Thai guy.

Answer 6

Any answer would generalize and lump all Thai girls into one category. Real life isn't that easy.

Thai girls come from different social and financial backgrounds. Their different experiences in early life, what they have been taught, what the have seen etc. shape their perceptions.

For most Thais, luk krueng (half Thai, half Caucasian) or fair skin is seen as attractive (which you'll notice if you pay attention to Thai movie/TV stars and singers).

For many (poor) Thais, Caucasians appear to be very rich and live comfortable life. Hence, there is some attraction there.

But, there will always be the issue of cultural differences between people growing up on one continent and people growing up on another. So, apart from language issues, many Thai girls tend to prefer a "local" guy over these hard-to-understand-albeit-rich foreigners.

Answer 7

The reality is many Thai women are looking for Western guys. There are a couple of reasons for this. Western guys, in the minds of most Thai people, have money. In Thai society it's very important to take care of one's aging parents. If you marry someone with a secure financial future, it will be that much easier to fulfill your obligation.
Also, many Thai women view Thai men as being lazy and spoiled. Especially if they're an eldest son. Not to mention their propensity for drinking. Of course there is some generalizing in my answer, but I've spent a lot of time in Thailand and it's a very common view.
They also seem to find westerners to be attractive. Thais (not all of course) are attracted to fair skin, and western features.
I can tell you, if you a western man, they're will be no shortage of Thai women who are interested in you. This is simply a fact.

Answer 8

Different folks, different strokes.

In general (I mean, just look at the statistics), Thai girls prefer a Thai life partner.

I know of some (second generation) Chinese families where the family patriarch demanded the daughters marry into other Thai-Chinese families.

For most Thai families, blood-line is less important than the daughter's happiness.

Although difficult to generalize, I think Phil gives a quite elaborate overview although he doesn't quite fully describe the situation/background and preferences of the girls from Isan. Thailandguru, on the other hand, seems to focus on them.

Answer 9

Most Thai girls would probably prefer a Thai person as they would usually have the same language and statistically have the same religion (although a minority are muslims), and the same culture. I don't want to stereotype or anything but I would think that most Thai girls (who live in Thailand) would only be open to a western relationship if they are a gold digger.

Answer 10

If you're a Farang, it's hard to know if you're getting a straight answer or being flattered. They have said that many Thai men make bad husbands because they prefer a live-in partner to a legitimate wife (no dowry), they expect to be allowed to have sex with as many women as they can, they can dispose of their income as well as the wife's on drinking and gambling, and they only care about satisfying themselves in the bedroom with no thought given to the wife's pleasure, plus many Thai women like tall men with fair skin, light coloured eyes, long noses, thin lips, etc. Many Farangs who actually marry a Thai wife (not speaking of punters on holiday who are just here for some fun) truly fall in love with their wives, are willing to change their whole life around to be with their wife. They are fed up with western women and appreciate the beauty of Thai people and culture. Most will spend all of their income trying to give their wives and wives' families a better life. It's a win-win situation. If all someone wants to see is how one is using the other, then so be it. If he makes a good husband and family man, while she is the woman of his dreams, what's wrong with that match? I wonder, though, sometimes, do Thai men resent foreign men as much as foreign women seem to resent Thai ladies?

Answer 11

Umm not really, it's not the preference as such, but I'd say more of how one sees herself living with her better half, the important aspects are the likemindedness, lifestyle and education. So a girl with desire to go away from her home and the homeland wud prefer a foreigner , also she wud be a modern open minded women ready to accept anything and accomodate any culture in an instant.
A typical orthodox thai girl wud naturally prefer her counter partner.
A semi orthodox with dreams of going abroad but remaing in her own culture may go for a thai born but raised in west type of a guy coz shez still in touch with her culture and lifestyle altho a bit different , won't be drastically different.
