Question: "Why do these ladies want to marry a Western man?"
Answer:
In Thailand, social status is very important when determining an acceptable marriage partner.Thailand has a large lower class, a substantial middle class and relatively small upper class elite.In general, women are supposed to marry someone of equal or higher status.Although it is certainly a factor; the groom's family is usually not as concerned about the social status of his mate. He can marry down, without the same degree of friction that his sisters would encounter. This presents a real numbers crunch for the middle class Thai woman. Many of her prospective mates have married down, thus depleting the pool of men available to her, without a corresponding decrease in the number of single women within her social class. Also middle class Thai men do not feel any urgency to get married, and as mentioned before, do not generally satisfy themselves with only one wife, if and
when they do marry! Thai men also generally consider a Thai lady to be over the hill at 28 years of age!
The above factors combine to create a very large pool of single educated and attractive women, who want to find a good husband. Thai women are famous for their grace charm and beauty, and generally find Caucasian Western men attractive. They find their pale skin very attractive, to the extent that they will often shield themselves from the sun. Indeed they often think of themselves as unattractive, because of their slightly darker skin. This conversely, is one of things which most Western men find so pleasing!

Divorce in Thailand is quick, easy and cheap. Newly divorced Thai women have little opportunity or desire to remarry Thai men. The old analogy of a Thai marriage where the lady is likened to the back legs of an elephant, and as such is the stabilizing directing influence, is a good analogy. Indeed women are often as important as men, in the economic contribution to the household, but their role is staying in the background behind their men, supporting them. Many Thai ladies are rebelling against this intolerable treatment by their unfaithful husbands. Many now in fact initiate divorce proceedings, accepting the hardship, and repercussions of their actions. Other young unmarried Thai ladies see this scenario all too often, and have no desire to follow this unsavoury route of marriage, followed by divorce. They are now looking to Western men to provide the stable monogamous relationship, which they seek. They consider that Western men possess important qualities, which are sadly lacking in many Thai men, those being that they are loving, caring, faithful, and will provide the long-term security, which they crave. Whether or not this is true, it is certainly their perception.

Question: "Why do Western men not want a wife from their own country?"
Answer:
Many men are dissatisfied with their local women. Despite the commonly held belief; they do NOT want some mild mannered submissive lady, who they can lead around like a lap dog. They want an old fashioned "traditional" kind of wife, whose desire is to be first and foremost, a wife rather than a career woman. Whilst in the past, it has been mainly middle-aged, or elderly men seeking a woman significantly younger than themselves; one now increasingly finds, younger and younger men are seeking this option. The truth is, the average Thai bride, whilst not being a submissive doormat, is by the same measure, not forceful or domineering. Thai women are generally highly supportive of their husbands. Most Western men seeking such a wife, aren't interested in finding some meek, submissive doormat. What they do want is someone who isn't the extreme opposite either.
Unfortunately, too many of today's Western women are; causing these men to have simply given up on them!

Question: "Why are more and more Western men turning away from women in their home country?"
Answer:
Many Western women are extremely confrontational, adhering to the "What have you done for me lately ?"attitude, which is prevalent in today's feminism influenced Western women. As a result; millions of Western men are becoming increasingly unhappy with them! These men come from all walks of life, from every racial and cultural group and from every social and economic level. There are certainly millions of single eligible Western men, who would really rather be married. The reason they're not married, is because, they are unable to find any women who are acceptable to them.

Question: "What are the Western women’s failures?"
Answer:
Today, many women desire to pursue highflying careers, and good luck to them. The problem arises however, that in choosing this path; by its very nature, the resulting scenario, is that these women become unacceptable wife material to a large number of men. The feminist movement who protest about, and denigrate the mail order bride movement, do so because they are unwilling to accept an outcome which is a result of their own making. Immense social damage has been caused throughout the Western world by the feminist movement. It has harmed not only men, who can't find the kind of wives they want, but women as well .The resulting outcome is that an increasing number of Western women are finding it impossible to find a suitable husband; unfortunately what they seem to fail to realise, is; that the reason why they can't find husbands, is because they have chosen the path of a career, rather than that of a wife.

Question: "What are Western men’s goals?"
Answer:
For the most part these men, who are often in their forties and fifties, want a woman significantly younger than themselves (between 10 and 20 years), who is physically attractive, charming, gentle, sweet, feminine and who is actively seeking to be the wife of a Western man, in preference to the pursuit of a professional career as well as being a wife. Indeed, today there is a tendency for younger and younger men to seek wives in this way Many single men in their twenties and thirties, who have never been married, are now turning to the foreign bride market, and the age trend is moving downward. These younger men are looking for the same basic kind of woman as the older men, with the exception that they seek wives closer to their own age.

Question: "Are these women economic migrants?"
Answer:
No, this is not their prime directive. Thailand has a robust economy, with a shortage of labour in certain fields of
employment. In point of fact, Thai ladies are more than happy to consider a good Western man, who wants to live in Thailand with them. It comes as no surprise, that women the World over, tend to seek economic advantage when they marry. However it is also true, that in most of these countries, the cultural expectations of the Thai women towards being a wife, are very different from that of today’s Western woman. Thai women fully expect to put home and husband first. They're conditioned by their society, to be the kind of supportive, nurturing wife and homemaker that the Western women of the early/mid 20th century were. In return, they expect to marry a man who will be a good provider. In marrying a Western man, they expect to find a man who will provide for them on a much higher level, than they would be very likely to find at home. This does not however mean that they are gold diggers. Since the time of the caveman, women the world over, have sought a measure of economic security, and hopefully, increased social standing, through marriage. These women seek nothing more or less, than women have always traditionally sought. Indeed, their views are very traditional. This makes them such good candidates for men, who want to find a traditional wife.

Question: "Do Western men have to be rich to qualify for a Thai mail order bride?"
Answer:
"The Answer is NO!!!"
The wonderful thing about this, from a Western man's point of view, is that to such a woman living in a poor country, an average Western man does not have to be rich, to provide all the economic incentive that a Thai woman living in a poor country needs. In the eyes of these Thai women, the average Western man, appears to be fabulously rich in the first place. Add to this, the prospect of coming to, living in and eventually becoming a citizen of a developed Western country, and the perceived advantage to her becomes overwhelming. An average middle class Western man is, in the eyes of a Thai woman, on the level of a top captain of Industry in Thailand!

Question: "What are a gentleman's requirements, to qualify for a Thai bride?"
Answer:
1.He must be single, divorced or widowed.
2.He must be in employment, self-employed, or of independent means.
3.He must be a homeowner, or have a renewable tenancy agreement.
4.He must have had a bank or building society account for at least six months.
5.He must have a valid passport, which does not expire for at least six months after his departure dates from Thailand.
6.He must be prepared to travel to Bangkok.

Basically gentlemen have to be able to demonstrate to the embassy of their home country, that upon arrival in their chosen country of residence, their Thai fiancées will not be a burden upon the state, by having to resort to public funds. It is possible by mutual consent, for a gentleman awaiting his divorce, to become "engaged" to the Thai lady of their choice. The lady will invariably agree to wait, until the gentleman’s divorce certificate is forthcoming. Thai marriage agencies are NOT for gentlemen who are looking for a casual "holiday fling". Anybody "in the know" will soon advise you of the complete folly of the following perceived scenarios:-

Question: " Attempting to meet a suitable decent Thai lady in a social situation, who is not meeting men every week as part of her living, and about whom it is possible to discover a reliable verifiable history "
Answer:
It is virtually impossible; to meet a decent single marriage- minded Thai lady in a social situation in Thailand, as these ladies would not be available to meet.
Yes; there are hundreds of Thai ladies to be met in social situations in Thailand, however always remember, that when you go home, they have to earn their keep, from somebody else!! To meet a decent lady, you need to use a reputable agency, which has investigated the background and social status of the lady.

Question: "Attempting to find a lady that will stay faithful to you in your absence?".
Answer:
Once "engaged" to a lady who is on the books of a reputable agency, that lady is immediately removed from their books. She will faithfully wait for you until her visa to come to your country has been secured.

Question: "Attempting to keep the relationship alive from several thousand miles away, without help and assistance in communication, cultural differences, customs and language"
Answer:
A reputable agency is there for you and your lady EVERY step of the way, to prevent the relationship falling apart for any of the given reasons.

Question: "Attempting to secure assistance with all aspects of visa and cultural preparation, for the lady's entry to her new country of residence"
Answer:
You need to use a reputable registered marriage agency, which has successfully prepared and secured hundreds of visas, for Thai ladies to enter Western countries worldwide.

Question: "What do Thai women see as their role in a marriage?"
Answer:
Most Thai women looking for a potential husband, have the same traditional views towards the mother and homemaker roles as our grandmothers probably had. They fully expect to be the one who stays home, takes care of the kids, cooks the meals and keeps the house clean. After all, they have been brought up to believe that this is the way it should be. Please do not assume however, that these ladies expect to be locked up, in the home and treated like slaves! If circumstances force them to go to work, or if both parties agree that it’s OK for the lady to work, she'll expect some help around the house... and she deserves it! The Western man, who marries such a woman, gets the best of both Worlds, whether he prefers a more traditional parental role, or wants a more active role in parenting. Either way his wife will more than likely find this acceptable.

Question: "How do Western men go about finding Thai mail order brides?"
Answer:
A Western man seeking a foreign bride can choose from over 250 different services featuring women advertising for Western partners.
Option.
The Most common services are agencies, which simply sell names and addresses of Thai ladies seeking Western husbands. Men contact them directly. Men then write directly, or email selected ladies, with a view to eventually meeting them for romance. This has its pitfalls.
Perhaps most importantly - there is little or no vetting of these ladies, and whilst there are no doubt many genuine ladies in these lists, there are inevitably a large percentage of less suitable ladies, with dubious professions!
The man is taking pot luck !!
Clients may often find that they are competing with several hundred other men for the hand of a chosen lady, who have received the same addresses!
Gentlemen who decide to take the step of taking a trip to Thailand to meet their penpal, may often find when they arrive, that the lady is already married, does not exist, or is a completely different girl to the one in the pictures!! He may be lucky, court the girl and even eventually marry her, usually after a second visit, and a further period of correspondence.

He has then got to get her through a visa to come to his home country.
He has to keep the relationship alive in the intervening period before a visa interview - quite a daunting proposition. His lady has to successfully pass a tricky visa interview. She needs help!!
Option.
Thai marriage Agencies.
Gentlemen can choose from several such agencies purporting to offer similar services. Extreme caution is advised in selecting a suitable agency, as there are many less than honest entrepreneurs with little or no experience in this field of work, opening Oriental Introduction agencies, with monotonous regularity, which invariably close down a few short months later, when they realize that their "get rich quick scheme" was not such a good idea after all.

They often leave behind a string of poor trusting, unsuspecting clients, high and dry, a lot wiser and poorer!
Western men should choose an experienced ethical caring agency, with a verifiable track record stretching back
several years, with hundreds of successful marriages to their credit. They should be able to talk directly with previous successful clients.

They need to choose an agency where ladies have been vetted to weed out unsavoury less than genuine ladies, where a comprehensive ethical caring service is provided to BOTH parties, at EVERY single stage of the process, from initial chaperoned introductions, through to dating, development of a relationship, FULL assistance and support during man's absence from Thailand, pending lady’s visa interview, preparation, submission of visa application documents, liaising and supporting BOTH parties, schooling of lady prior to visa interview, assistance with ladies departure and arrival in her new home country, aftercare support service and networking, with other couples in the man's home country.

There is ONE Agency with ALL these attributes which stands head and shoulders above the rest. It is a World leader in its field, having been favourably featured many times in the media, including CNN News, the B.B.C and also Thai Channel 7 TV.

It is owned by a Thai British couple - Lawrence & Thapanee Lynch.
