You have chosen Time for People
Take Time, Never Rush Into a
Thai Marriage. Take time to determine the
sincerity and honesty of your new friend before becomming seriously
involved with someone that you have just met and have not known for
very long. Be cautious and use good common sense!
Please remember that it is very possible to become Charmed, Enamoured
or Enchanted with a lady from a new culture that is unfamiliar to you.
Why? Because Thai Culture is very different from American and Western
Culture, but, in some ways Thai Culture is similar enough to Western
culture in some respects, as to be misunderstood by Westerners.
Misreading your new friend, because you did not take enough time to
know her and her culture, could become a big problem and headache. One
thing to remember is that when they speak English to you and they do
things and act in a certain fashion, you are perceiving these actions
with your Western eyes. Remember that you are interpreting what you
see and hear with your Westernized mind.
You believe what you are seeing and hearing. You believe that you
understand what you see and hear, but what you see and hear and
perceive is not always what you might think and hope it to be,
especially in Thailand. Why? Because you interpret what you see and
hear from a Western point of view and western culture
and point of view.
You must take time to learn the Thai Culture. I suggest that you read
some travel books and other publications about Thai Culture before
becomming too involved in an international relationship
