SiamHoney wants to help all of our members bridge the communication gap. Let’s face the facts; good communication is important in any relationship. And it’s even more critical when it comes to online dating between Thai women and Western men. It’s difficult to really know someone if you can’t express your ideas and feelings to each other.

It’s also hard to judge a Thai lady’s intellect based on her ability to read, write and speak English. Many highly educated and successful Thai women are often lacking when it comes to foreign language skills. It may take some time before you start to figure out how smart your new chat buddy actually is.

Some Thai women are shy to speak another language even if they have the knowledge to do so. They’re afraid they might make an imperfect statement that will cause them to appear foolish and would rather just keep quiet to avoid any embarrassment. It’s always a good idea to encourage them to speak freely and to let them know you’re happy to help them improve.

Gentlemen should never be shy when it comes to speaking Thai as there are only positive results that come from trying. Thai people absolutely love it when a foreigner makes an attempt to speak their language even if it’s just a simple “Hello” or “Thank You.” And since Thais love to laugh and joke around, having bad pronunciation is often even better than saying something correctly.

Remember to be polite. Many Thai women do like to joke around and tease, but that doesn’t mean they’re trying to turn the conversation into something naughty. A true lady will not be amused by a man that is only interested in sex chat. Have fun and make her laugh, but don’t be disrespectful.
