I wanted to take a minute to talk about Thai brides and what it means and how it’s done in this day of the Internet age. I’ll also explain the stigma that is now associated with the word “Mail Order Brides”. I’ll also explain the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act that President Bush signed into law in January 2006.

Years ago before the World Wide Web, you could actually go through a physical catalog of foreign brides to meet and marry. This has long been replaced with the Internet and International Marriage Agencies. The days of fingering through a magazine for a Thai bride are over. There are tons of Thai dating sites out there that have taken the place of Thai brides catalog.

The word “Mail Order Bride” has a bad stigma attached to it today. It loosely translates to men getting a foreign bride and forcing her to be submissive. The stuff you only see in movies. Today people don’t really use that word and times have changed. These days Thai girls are a bit more independent. They prefer the whole dating process. I agree with this as it should always be about romance and taking the time to get to know someone. Purchasing a Thai bride is just wrong and should never be looked at in that way. No person is for sale.

In 2006 President Bush signed into law that any International Marriage Broker site has to make known a pursuers criminal history background before contact is made. Now this is only for American companies. I don’t think any other country has this law. It means that before you contact a Thai Bride, the company hosting the profiles must make available the mens criminal background history. This means that you must provide the company your whole history. Now, this is only for Marriage Brokers and not Thai dating sites.

Also, when searching for Thai girls, go with a reputable Thai dating company like ThaiLoveLinks. They’ve been in the business for a long time and have a great following and growing “Real” memberbase.

I hope that clears it up a bit for you. The days of ordering your future Thai bride are over. Use the Internet to meet Thai girls and go through the whole dating process. International dating is a bit tricky but with the right attitude it will work out for you.
