Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia that was able to avoid European colonization<\/a>. As such, the country\u2019s rich culture and traditions stay relatively untouched to this very day.  For those unfamiliar with Thai culture, the dating scene in Thailand may come as a shock. It\u2019s worth noting, though, that that hasn\u2019t deterred foreign men from romancing Thai women. However, you cannot say the same for the other way around. Relationships between a foreign woman and a Thai man is still a novel concept in the Land of Smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A novel concept, but not at all impossible to make a reality. If you\u2019re looking to pursue Thai men, then there\u2019s a lot you should know. You\u2019ll first need to learn about the intricacies of Thai masculinity to understand them better. Join the TrulyThai team on this electrifying journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have strong faith and patriotism.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Much like other people, Thai men have things that they value the most. First on the list is their religion. Second is their country, and third, by extension, is the monarchy. Their devotion to these values stems from the coming of age rituals they go through as they become adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can undergo monastic training.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every Thai man is encouraged to be ordained as a monk<\/a> at least once in their life. Their expected time of service can range from anywhere between one week to three months. During this period, they learn to understand the importance of Buddhism and the rich culture it carries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is a practice that is not mandatory, most see it as a prerequisite for marriage. Learning the Buddhist ways, such as living a slow life, is an excellent lesson to learn. Families also use this in evaluating Thai men in terms of their character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, undergoing this rite of passage earns Thai men the respect of society. If you\u2019re dating a Thai man who has entered the monastery, consider it a point in their favor. Your partner is sure to be someone that will treat you well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re an animal lover, then you\u2019ll fall in love with Thai men even more. Buddhists believe that people with bad karma can reincarnate into animals or even insects in their next life. So, the monastic training of Thai men gives them a greater appreciation for animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their military service is mandatory.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thai men value their military so much because every man over the age of 21 is an army man. Their intense devotion is due to the requirement of serving for two years before the age of 21. During this time, they strengthen their sense of patriotism while they train. Besides having better physical health, they\u2019ll also have better discipline – two traits that you may greatly appreciate in a partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On another note, if you\u2019re dating Thai men that haven\u2019t done their mandatory service, you should be prepared for their long absence. Talk about how your relationship will change while your partner is away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t interested in a long-distance relationship, you should clarify it early on, before you hurt each other\u2019s feelings. Otherwise, do your best to keep in touch with them and support them if the training gets too tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While Thai guys are humorous and fun to be with, don\u2019t make jokes about their faith or country. Even if it is something that you intended as a jest, they might take it as an offense. No matter how close you are with your partner, it\u2019s best to tread lightly and stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiks\u201d are common.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thais are known for their near-limitless tolerance, and unfortunately, this applies to infidelity as well. Their tolerant culture has led Thai men to believe that it\u2019s acceptable to pursue other women while still in a relationship. Having multiple partners is so widespread that they have an official term for their side chicks, also known as \u201cgik.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is probably one reason why there aren\u2019t many known cases of foreign women dating Thai men. So if you\u2019re planning to date a Thai man, it\u2019s best to lay your cards on the table as soon as possible. If you want a monogamous relationship, you need to make that loud and clear before getting to the first date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, however, the non-confrontational nature of Thai men discourages heavy relationship discussions. Being too vocal with your emotions is frowned upon, and saving face is important. If that\u2019s the case for you, be warier of your partner\u2019s activities. Learn to recognize if your partner treats you as a faen<\/em>, which means boyfriend or girlfriend, or a gik<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most significant signs that your partner sees you as a gik is when they’re hiding you from the public. That means your partner doesn’t post photos of you together or meets with you in secret. If you ever do get together outside, there’s sure to be a friend tagging along. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re dating a Thai guy and you start to observe this kind of behavior, calmly confront them. Avoid lashing out, especially if your feelings were hurt. Having a gik or two (or even more) is normal for them. Sometimes, they don\u2019t understand that it\u2019s not always acceptable for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best you can do in that situation is to explain your side and talk about what to do from there. You might be willing to pursue the relationship, or you\u2019re ready to break it off. Whatever your decision may be, your partner will respect it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t expect to stay friends afterward though. In Thai culture, once a couple has broken up, their ties are permanently severed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They follow the phrase \u201cMai pen rai.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMai pen rai\u201d is a Thai phrase<\/a> that means, \u201cnever mind\u201d or \u201cdon\u2019t worry about it.\u201d It\u2019s a phrase that reflects their beliefs and how they don\u2019t cling to the material world. It\u2019s also the result of living in an Asian country that was left to its own devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMai pen rai\u201d is a phrase that projects positive thinking, and it allows the Thai people to be content and satisfied with what they have. It\u2019s also one of the reasons why Thai men can tolerate so much before reaching their breaking point. If you want a calm, laid-back life, you could do no better than dating a Thai guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not always a positive thing. Thai men can get complacent from time to time because of this trait. It can sometimes feel like you\u2019re leading the relationship. They\u2019re likely to go along with what you want and what you\u2019re saying, to the point that they don\u2019t say what they want. It might feel like they\u2019re not genuinely interested in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, just because they\u2019re easygoing doesn\u2019t mean that they don\u2019t have personalities of their own. Think of it as your partner having a more open mind when it comes to new experiences. If you’re worried that they’re feeling uncomfortable or dislike something, talk about it privately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re easygoing and mild-mannered.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rarely will you see a Thai man lose his temper<\/a>. Since they\u2019re Buddhists, they avoid extremes and almost always take the middle path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the west, showing anger can be empowering, vindicating even. But in Thailand, losing your temper is shameful, so make sure to avoid it at all costs. You\u2019ll find that Thai people tend to smile through everything to avoid emotionally lashing out. They\u2019ll do anything to avoid being shamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shame is such a powerful deterrent in Thailand that one of the worst things you can do to a Thai person is to make them lose face. They\u2019re so scared of losing face that a Thai man might not make a move on you even if he likes you. Sometimes, it might be necessary for the woman to start flirting in Thailand. If push comes to shove and you still can\u2019t get them to man up, it might be a good idea to ease into a relationship by offering to be friends first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace and politeness is part of their lifestyle.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s this graceful, laidback, but respectful way of living that sets Thai men apart. So to impress them, you must carry yourself with their accustomed grace and politeness. The best way to do this is to master how to do the “wai” properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “wai” is a gesture in which you join your palms together as if in prayer, then raise them to your chest, while you gently bow your head. Thais use it in various situations, but ultimately, it’s a sign of respect and humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Wai<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a gesture with Buddhist origins. The meeting of the two palms represents two people meeting as equals. It\u2019s such an integral part of Thai culture that they teach Thai children how to do it as soon as they can put their hands together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason for this. Status is a big deal in Thailand. It\u2019s important to give varying degrees of respect to people based on their social status. Don\u2019t forget to pay your respects to them. Besides figures of authority, elders are also high on the social ladder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important figures of authority is monks. If you meet a monk or someone you deeply respect, you can show it by pressing your thumbs to your chin while making the “wai” gesture and then bowing deeply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On another note, don\u2019t beat yourself up if you forget the greeting etiquette sometimes. Thais know that foreigners don\u2019t always understand their culture. Nevertheless, they\u2019ll still acknowledge the effort you\u2019ve made. It will definitely be something that Thai guys will appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering dating Thai men, these are just some of the things you should know beforehand. While these tips aren\u2019t set in stone, they\u2019re still good to keep in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, don\u2019t stress out about ensuring that dating goes well. The best way to enjoy the experience is to take it easy, let the relationship run its course, and get to know your partner slowly and steadily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
