Are Thai women promiscuous? The truthful answer is that some are and some aren't; and the likelihood that your Thai girlfriend could be cheating on you will also vary depending on her circumstances and lifestyle... But what do the statistics say?
According to surveys conducted by condom manufacturer Durex and dating website Match.com, 56% of Thai respondents admitted to having an affair while being married. This statistic ranks Thailand amongst one of the most unfaithful nationalities out of the 36 countries surveyed, and could indicate that Thai women might be more promiscuous than other nationalities.
As a leading detective agency based in Thailand, we have dealt with numerous cases which involve Thai women that were suspected of cheating on their partners. For many of our clients there is an element of choosing to trust their gut instincts and hire a private detective to figure out what is really going on and get to the truth of the situation. Most of these individuals would never have found out that their partner was cheating on them had they not decided to start an investigation.
Indeed, if you are searching for information online relating to infidelity and Thai ladies, then this might be indicative of your own suspicions; and as the old saying goes, there is usually 'no smoke without fire'.
Will my Thai girlfriend cheat on me?
If you are a foreigner that is dating a Thai lady, then unless you can speak Thai you will likely be conversing with the lady in English. Most Thai women do not learn to speak English fluently as a result of studying at government schools, and so the story behind her ability to speak and understand English can be telling in many cases.
It is reported that around 27% of the Thai population can speak English. After we remove foreigners/expats, men, and children from this figure, we discover that the overall number of Thai females of dating age that can speak English to an acceptable standard is relatively low. Statistics which relate to all Thai people or all Thai ladies might not accurately represent this subset of the population.
If a lady has previously studied English at a higher education level, and attained relevant qualifications, then this could certainly be seen as a positive trait.
If on the other hand she learned to speak English through working with foreigners in a beer bar, or informally at a similar 'adult entertainment venue', then this is a whole different topic altogether.
Ladies that currently work (or previously worked) in beer bars are far more likely to commit acts of infidelity in our experience. Due to the nature of their work, bar girls often have dozens of different partners, as well as clients that pay to spend time with them on a nightly basis. Bar girls typically learn English for the sole purpose of being able to interact with clients and perhaps ultimately finding themselves a serious romantic relationship with an English speaking man.
Bar girls, and other women from Thailand's adult entertainment industry, with often look to forge serious romantic relationships by joining dating websites and apps. Of course, if they are joining a dating site/app with the goal of a serious romance then they will typically choose not to disclose their true profession to the men that they speak to online, for obvious reasons. You may think that it 'could never happen to you', many of our clients also believed this until being confronted with the results of an investigation.
Bar girls are also more likely to pull off the so-called Thai girlfriend scam, where a lady will have multiple different foreign boyfriends at the same time, who all believe that they are the only man in her life. When pulled of successfully, this scam can be used to generate vast amounts of money for the perpetrator; and if you don't know what to look for then it can be easy to find yourself getting fooled.
Thai girlfriend from internet dating
One of the wonders of the modern age is internet dating. Numerous different websites and apps can be used to connect beautiful Thai ladies with foreign men all over the world.
If you are speaking to a person from any country in the world that you have met through internet dating, then understanding their true situation without having ever met them in real life is going to be a difficult feat, and we would recommend meeting with them in real life as soon as possible.
Data which has been released by the United States Federal Trade Commission indicates that romance scams hit a record high in 2021, with a staggering $547 million reported lost by US consumers in that year alone, a reported 80% increase from 2020.
If you are internet dating an individual from any country in the world other than the one that you currently live in, then you should be very mindful of romance scams and try to avoid becoming the next victim. One golden rule that we would recommend is never sending money to a person that you have not met in real life.
