From Engagement Rings to Cultural Differences: The Dos and Don'ts of Dating Thai Women

Thai women, what are the most common mistakes by foreign men? What are the signs that can be easily missed? You’ll see an American man taking his young Thai fiancée to a gold shop in this video. They intend to buy gold engagement rings, necklaces and brackets for their upcoming wedding.
It can get frustrating for me watching or reading about these types of common mistakes by foreign men with Thai women because Thailand as a country and Thai woman, in general, are very different than your home country back in the US, UK, Australia or wherever.

I just laugh at how people say marrying a Thai woman is expensive. My first American wedding was over $50,000, $15,000 for a diamond engagement ring, a new Porsche for an anniversary present and tens of thousands in jewelry and literally millions in homes and vacation homes. I think most of these guys are, like you say, low income guys and probably have no business being married. My Thai wedding was $5,000 and about the same for her gold. I give her family a few hundred a month. My income is significant so not a big issue one way or the other. 12 years later we are still very happy and she has been a fraction of the cost of maintaining an American woman. What I’ve gotten from her and her family in return cannot be measured in money. My American wife was a pain in my ass. And oh yeah, 32 years age difference. It’s just never been as issue.

[@alvinkoh5556]

If the cultural disparity is too large between the couple then the risk of the marriage not being able to sustain the long haul is pretty evident. Even if they they are able to sustain the long haul, still they will have to ask if the compromise is worth it or not? Too much compromise is never the ingredient for happiness. This must be understood.

[@4evertrue830]

From my point of view, i don't think the Thai lady, Annie is 24yrs old. I am sure she is older than 24 but younger than 30. That is not the looks of a 24yr old lady. David may have been lied to by Annie. lol.

[@Darksagan]

I agree I thought that immediately. Thai women her age usually look a lot younger.

[@orangeguy3314]

First thing these reality tv characters are paid for drama and laughs. Maybe we should just call them poor paid actors. Most of my smart friends that lived in thailand would never think about giving money or gold to a thai family in a marriage or anything.

[@stuartmccreadie8258]

He must have been pretty desperate regarding his choice and the expenses issues. Looking at his age if he is that set on marriage and he is tossing his cash around now what happens if his new wife falls pregnant? By the time his off spring gets to university he will not be able to support them and his child will be as uneducated as so many, many Thais. Not overlooking the fact he will be 66 by that time. As for the assumption that he has been married before is a stone banker he has. I cannot believe that the rigmarole is followed and the guys involved are so gullible. Take the US$50,000, buy a condo if he is hell bent on staying there and have a ball.

[@paulhobday9272]

Great content and advice, and great presenting! Top Guy!

[@liamanderson4992]

He is 48, she is 24. That is problem #1. When she is a reasonably healthy, active and energetic 50 and he is 74, there will be challenges...... Any man has to ask himself what motivates a woman to stay with him, especially when that woman is young enough to be his daughter. People's motivations change over time. At 48, he is still relatively fit, healthy and vigorous. He can still keep up with a 24 year old. He can compensate for the age difference with experience. When she is 50 and he is 74, he can't work, he's not so fit, she has her own experiences and she may still be able to find a younger, healthier companion.

[@mentorinspired]

A foreign woman with an age gap like that was my uncles mistress and she waited long enough for his wife (my blood aunt) to die and she moved in stole his , property, money, and he has less rights than a slave. Whats crazy is she did all of this without official being married. Just people believing her lies. Many of the old guys just dont get it. I thoroughly believe most people can't learn until they experience the pain.

[@trentcadooable]

My advice to any western man looking to get involved with a Thai women is to get to know her and her family very well before making any commitment at all. This should be a common sense thing but a crafty Thai women is very good at getting a western man to commit before he knows what he is in for. A good Thai woman will openly invite you to meet her family. Most importantly trust your gut, if it appears to good to be true it probably is. You will hear a lot of negative stories about Thai women but there are plenty of good Thai women out there. Just trust your gut and look out for number one and you'll be fine.

[@maxblack880]

Same for any relationship anywhere in the world and goes equally for women and men. Totally sound advice though 👌

[@Randy1337]

My thai girlfriend (who is in Thailand, I am in Germany) gets angry when I say "I can`do this or that". She has a cousin in Germany who works as a doctor in a hospital and has huge chunks of money. She thinks, I can do it like him lol. I earn good, but not like 10k a month like a doctor. She thinks it is normal to have this amount of money and always is berating me "The man of my cousin, he sends her thousands.." blabla. I am getting annoyed of her comparing me to the upper 1% of the German population.

[@franek1643]

I don't agree with your comment that a marriage is expensive in every country. Many people in the west just have the official procedure and after that a small party with few family and friends. Don't have to be expensive. Not everyone has to invite neighbors or distant relatives! Not true!

To me, the only answer to such woman could be: "take care and stay healthy. I am leaving, bye".
