Thai people have firm belief in their culture and convictions. During dating they do expect certain essential manners: the partner should be clean, nice-smelling, and dressed neatly. A date should not to talk with too many adjectives and should let emotions show up gradually and normally, not complaining or cribbing too much about any thing. A partner should not visit the other’s relatives if they do not want to continue relations as they do not want to lose face. A date should not show social superiority, nor attempt public demonstrations of affection. One should compliment the partner when it is deserved, appreciating other person’s shortcomings if any. A man should carry a woman’s bags and occasionally present small gifts for her parents too.
More advice: never be late for a meeting, do not go to a bar if it is a first meeting, do not ask for going to bed in first few meetings, do not make dirty jokes, do not be arrogant (to your date or to anyone else – for example don’t be arrogant to your waiter), and do not make vulgar displays of wealth. A man should not object if his date wishes to take her friend during first few meetings as she may take time to gain confidence in him.
Finally, the idea of ‘sanuk’ (fun) is central to Thai society and dominates the dating spirit. For Thai people, this part of life is probably the most cherished memory of their lifetimes.

Getting started as a Penpal is really easy. Just go to one of the hundreds of penpals/mailfriends websites on the Internet and write an message/email to a person that seems interesting to you. (You can find a list of some penpal websites on the bottom of this webpage.) On many websites you also have the possibility to make a profile of yourself and post that on the website. It's up to you if you want that or not. Don't expect to much of that though. It could be that nobody ever reacts to your profile or you just get messages from people that you are absolutely not interested in. But if you're lucky it might also result in a very good friendship. Just be careful with the amount of information you post on your profile, but paranoia probably prevents a interesting conversation. Building a solid Pen pal friendship is quite hard. In the first couple of messages you probably exchange name, age, profession, , hobbies and sports . And then what? If you're lucky you have one or 2 things in common, for example a hobby or you are both fan of the same actor or artist. Then you can discuss the ins and outs on this subject. After that you have to find some new subject to talk about. An suggestion is to tell about those simple things you experience in daily life. It might sound like very normal to you, but can be very strange/exciting/funny to somebody on the other side of the world. Another suggestion is to exchange some words/sentences in your own language with your penpal. You could try to get in touch with your penpal through one of the popular Instant Messengers , such as Yahoo IM, MSN, AOL, or ICQ. This way contact is somewhat more direct and personal, but you could end up in a situation where you absolutely have no idea what to say (depends on how talkatative you are).
