In a Thai dating tradition, Thai families will expect the man to support the woman and their entire family. He must be financially stable and capable in bringing that responsibility for the rest of his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thai people that live in extra poverty believes that their daughter\u2019s marriage should bring fortune to them. If a Thai woman likes the man she is dating, she should bring him home to meet the family and her family will discuss the dowry with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thais prefer to have nonverbal communication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
