If you're looking for an Asian bride, Thailand is without a doubt the best place to start. Go there and meet a Thai girl on your own, or use a matchmaking service to facilitate an introduction. When you marry a Thai woman, it's as close to perfect as you're ever going to get.
Getting there
You may decide to go to Thailand and try to meet someone to date while you're there, or try your luck on the Internet and spend some time getting to know her via online chat before venturing overseas. Either way, you will eventually have to take at least one trip to Thailand, preferably two or three, before you tie the knot. Finding a Thai bride is going to take some work, and you'll have to take time out to travel. She probably won't be able to come visit you right away, even if you send her a ticket, because of immigration restrictions. It's up to you to go to her.
The cost of a round-trip ticket isn't cheap, but check out some of the online air fare web sites and see if you can find some specials. Try to buy your tickets as far ahead of time as possible, and if you are flexible on the departure date, you will get a better deal. Leaving mid-week, usually on a Tuesday or Thursday, will yield a better ticket price than if you were to leave on the weekend or on Monday morning.
There are also several agencies that offer full service, not only matching you up with a beautiful Thai woman, but also taking care of all your travel arrangements, including tours of the country, social events and even providing a translator if you need it. The price is naturally higher than if you made the arrangements yourself, but if you have the money to go on one of these first-class expeditions, by all means, do so.
Don't make the mistake of thinking a trip to Thailand is unaffordable. Although plane fare is going up in price, once you get there, you can live fairly well on a tight budget. Nice hotels and short-stay apartments in Bangkok are widely available and very affordable. If you're on a bare-bones budget, you can rent a basic, clean no-frills room in a "guest house" for as little as two or three dollars a night.
