As a passport bro in Thailand, your money may go further than at home and you may stand out, and neither means easy dating or real interest. Where you spend your evenings shapes whom you meet: the bar streets of Pattaya, Patong and Bangkok are a setting where friendliness can be part of someone’s job, not a picture of Thailand.

What to expect as a passport bro in Thailand

You may get noticed quickly; a serious relationship usually takes longer. “Passport bro” is a loose online label for Western men who travel abroad to find a girlfriend or a wife; what a passport bro is covers the term and where it came from. This page is for the man who wants a relationship that lasts, not a holiday fling: the two need different plans. Thailand draws these men because it is affordable on many Western incomes, a major holiday destination and famous for its nightlife. If you spend your evenings in places built to sell entertainment to visitors, remember that friendliness there can be part of someone’s work.
