Please Your Views On Thai Brides

[thaiconnections]

Hello... People ,,

I would like to know your views on Thai Brides websites cost can be from £1,300 - £2,500 pounds to meet a Thai Lady.. One i was looking at claims to be really busy (( Is this REALLY BIG Business ))

Would people really go for this kind of service or is it a fast way of trying to make a buck ?????

I really want your views please NO JOKES ...... Thanks .....

If you want to spend thousands of dollars at a website to meet Thai women it should probably be Travelocity.

[Kifalo]

My view is this;

Why should anyone care?

If it does involve you directly then what does it matter?

Also we know each and every one of you has a HISO girl right??????

Peace

not a troll just wanted to get my point across!

[bangkokburning]

Your point is what?

[CharlieH]

Yes, people DO use that type of service, I know a few who have and I did myself a few years ago, price was 15k baht, although there were other "packages" with higher prices.

I found it an interesting and insightful experience being totally new to the country, and travelling alone, dont drink and didnt want to meet the ladies that frequent the streets and bars.

I needed to find another way to meet them and an agency seemed to fit the bill.

Not all men are confident, not all men like going to bars or cruising the streets at night, so there has to be an alternative and an agency is one of them and certainly a safer option.

I was met at the Airport, escorted to a nice Hotel, picked-up the next day by a pretty girl and taken to an office to talk things over and make some selections from an album. The ladies I chose were then given my details etc and asked if they wish to meet. If they did a mutual appointment was made at the office and it went from there. I met some really nice women, one I was in a relationship with for over a year.

The real trouble with these services is not just the p4p aspect of it. They may be providing a legitimate service - hookng you up with available women.

Many of the women found online are just as mercenary as any bar-girl and many are just that. There are also loads of women who are quite happy to marry you and divorce you.

I even know an attractive lesbian who wants to find a farang husband just so she can graft off of him.

Could you meet a great woman online? Perhaps but also realize these are women that are not simply looking for a nice guy (Westerner OR THAI) to marry - they are targeting YOU, farang. That is something you must weigh and clearly understand.

I am not a fan of online relationships, my hunch is neither are our embassies.

[colinneil]

Bangkok burning you are entitled to your opinion, as are we all, i met my thai wife online, we are now very happily married, no problems, my wife is a school director,very shy about men, never asks me for money, many times she pays ,every thing we do is 50/50. stuff what british embassy thinks its bugger all to do with them.

Online dating here..is it any more risky than say .. 'Beautiful Russian Brides' ?

if you are living in a different country you don't have much other choice than the online route.

I think overall it is a good safe way to meet people and get to know them. You can save a lot of awkward dates by chatting on skype and the like.

Is any one method of meeting people better than another? I don't really think so.

So many free websites out there anyway.

the lot of you are holier than thou. What does it have to do with any of you.

Mr OP if your happy carry on don't listen (read words on a screen)

(waits for the grammar police to tell me you're and not your)

I think that it is a profitable business. You have women who either want to meet a potential husband or scam a mark from overseas and you have fellows who are chomping at the bit to have a Thai girlfriend/wife. The company in the middle has nothing to lose as there will always be a nearly endless supply of women out there just as there will always be a nearly endless supply of men.

Can you trust them? Who knows... I would be surprised if any detailed background check or communications check will be done on the female. You roll the dice and hope she is sincere and not a babe with the mind of a scam artist.

didnt want to meet the ladies that frequent the streets and bars

What makes you think many of the ladies on these sites don't?

There's plenty of places to meet non-bar women, and you don't need to pay a middle man a fortune to do so.

"What makes you think many of the ladies on these sites don't?

I was referring to an online "agency" not the usual dating sites that offer message services and nothing else.

We have all heard the stories of girls running 6 or more men at a time and being paid to do it in some cases. The "sick" relative routine etc. The saying goodbye to one at the airport whilst the next one arrives in a few hours.

Agencies are very different, controlled, escorted, chaparoned in some cases,arranged itinerary etc even hotels pre-booked, a far cry from many of the "dating" sites.

With the figures mentioned I think this is what the OP had in mind. No one would pay those amounts for a "dating" site that just offered a message system as many do.

15 grand!!! I would have helped for 5.

[macksview]

well, lots of cheaper middle men/women out there, my wife has a least 9 farm girls farming, 8 tesco girls chatting, 7 7-11 girls calculating, 6 shop girls texting, 5 fast food chicks, 4 hairdressers, 3 homepro cashiers, 2 nurses nursing and 1 bank girl doing her nails.

call for email address, phone number and % of sin sod, all in nothing else to pay.

[pigeonjake]

i think its more exciting to go and meet them for myself,

they are there, ive been married for 7 years, and still happy,

jake

[tinfoilhat]

Forgive me, but i have trouble comprehending why anybody would pick a country on the map and say "I want a wife from there."

If you are out of Thailand, why would you seek to meet a thai woman online, especially given the opinions on this and many other fora regarding what is widely purported to be their dis-ingenuousness?

Are you so terrified of living alone that you are willing to go to any lengths to find a mate, suitable or otherwise?

It would seem so.

[ozziebloke]

Spend your money and come here for a holiday and you can meet plenty of beautiful honest woman! It just depends on what you are looking for and where you look. It is exactly the same as any country in the world. It's not rocket science, It's just life as it is

I have found that people who are really happy with there lives don't keep on telling everyone they are happy every 5 mins.

On the other hand people who want to be happy but for some reason are not keep on telling themselves and everyone else they are happy every 5 mins.

If your happy great enjoy. But if your not happy then don't keep on saying you are just trying to convince yourself you are.

[zzdocxx]

A contrary view might be that a good-hearted person who has found happiness might want to share that with others. Maybe it is a way for him to express his gratitude. I welcome that.

I am happy.

seriously.

[BookMan]

We will know for sure in 5 minutes

[saroq]

Why would you pay that sort of money when there are plenty of sites where you can meet Thai girls for a low monthly fee?

[impulse]

On a related note, why would anyone pay a mechanic $2,000 in labor to replace their engine when they could buy a short block and do it themselves in the parking lot?

And why would anyone pay someone 6% to sell their home for them when they could do it themselves?

And why does my company pay recruiting agencies big bucks to locate talent when we could go down to Soi Cowboy and find lots of talented, dedicated and super qualified candidates just by listening to their stories...

A couple of thousand bucks to find and introduce me to the woman I'll be spending the rest of my life with? Cheaper than dating back home, and a lot cheaper than wasting weeks in high $$$ hotels learning the ropes in a strange town.

I've never used an online introduction service, but I certainly don't begrudge anyone that chooses to go that way.

Agree. No need to pay for a service when its free. Plenty of free dating sites out there, just gotta go seek em out.
