Thailand is an enthralling all embracing country in South East Asia, and most visitors often report feeling welcomed by friendly Thais in the "Land of Smiles." From the exotic sights and sounds of Bangkok; street food sellers, pushcarts, tropical orchids and the all embracing heat, to the beautiful rural charm of the provinces, places like Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Song, where hill tribes still work the land, and rice fields are frequented by dirty-faced children and buffalo, there is something for everyone in this distinct yet sedate land.
However there is one thing in particular that some are looking for, and some search from top to bottom to find it. And that is love.
For many men, the first stop on their holiday will be one of Thailand's tourist oriented, red light districts and bar areas. Where girls serve drinks and make friendly conversation, hoping that it will lead to something more. Many Thai women want to find western men as husbands. And some will go to any lengths to entice one of these men to sign on the dotted line and walk her down the aisle; many go online and sign up to dating agencies that promise a husband from England or Europe. they employ the help of a 'fixer' who can read and write enough English to help them send emails to their prospective love partner. Likewise men looking for a Thai wife will often go online or join a Thai introduction agency, which promises the best Thai ladies from all over the country.
What are the chances of finding love in such places and just how happily these relationships work out over the long term, and how many fail, is not fully known. However, it does seem that more and more people are seeking love and happiness in the Land of Smiles.
