Thai women overcome the challenges in Norway as Norwegian men opt for Thai marriage partners
More and More men from Norway are opting for Thai women as marriage partners. Indeed there was quite a backlash from women in Norway recently when a Norwegian politician publicly stated that he thought Thai women took better care of their husbands and family.
The growth of Thai women traveling to Norway now means that Thai and Filipina women are now the largest group of non western immigrants in Norway . Norway, with its oil wealth, has now become one of the richest countries in the world. However, the developing economy in Norway has brought more women in Norway into the Norwegian workplace and the roles of men and women have altered from previous generations. Some men in Norway see Thai women as ‘more feminine' more ‘old fashioned' and better marriage partners. Many Thai women coming to Norway have very successfully integrated themselves into Norwegian society. Their have many shocking stories of Thai women who have been abandoned by their partners after traveling to Norway and been forced to depend on Norwegian social services.
The biggest challenges facing Thai women in Norway are:
- The cold – Many Thai women wear multiple layers of clothing in winter and summer periods.
- The negative reaction from some women in Norway and the Norwegian media.
- Many Thai women feel homesick in Norway where the weather and the culture are so different. This is countered in time by the rising numbers of Thai women moving to Norway .
On July 2007 Thai Princess Somsawalee traveled to Norway to meet Thai women and to open the first Thai temple in Norway on the 100 th anniversary of the famous visit of King Chulalongkorn to Norway in 1907.
