If You Have a Thai Girlfriend This is Why You Should Be Careful With Showing Affection in Public

I know that Thailand's conservatism about public shows of affection surprises many westerners because in the west public exhibitions of the affection are absolutely common but in Thailand it is a very sensitive part of Thailand culture and in some cases is even frowned upon. Even the famous Thai bar girls are careful about this.

Thai television has only recently begun to show lip kissing and frequently the kissing will be done by a double so Thailand, the actress or actor is not the stigma of being seen public kiss.

But things are changing, slowly but what Thailand has begun to more westernized, it is now possible some couples holding hands, especially among younger generations, especially in Bangkok, where the population is more diverse and culture exposed and open to Western influence.

If you use your Thai girlfriend of one of the things that you can seefor is:

* Be careful when holding her hand because in some parts of Thailand when they see a Thai woman holding hands with a western man it can sometimes be assumed that she is a bar girl and that you are her client.

However if you see Thai women holding hands don't get the wrong idea because this is quite normal and acceptable and just means they are friends.

Another one is:

* She might want you to walk some feet away from her when outside in public in Thailand. This doesn't mean she has lost interest in you, only that this is very important for some Thai women so there is no need to take it personally.

The fact is that although you may have seen and heard many things about Bangkok and other parts of Thailand the culture in this country can be quite conservative and is worthy of respect.

So remember if you want to impress just show a little respect for your Thai Girlfriend and her Thai culture you will be amazed at how well you will be treated.
