I usually handle this question by saying, "I don't believe in girlfriends." With a sly smirk.
Usually works in my favor as I become a challenge to them.
A nicer girl that you don't want to scare away? Well, first, be sure that's really what you're working with. Thai girls tend to be good at deception - I imagine this is true even if she's American-born to immigrant parents as the typical cultural behaviour would have been passed down.
That said, I've often let girls down easily without scaring them away by simply being honest. "I'm not really looking for anything right now but if someone came along and we just clicked, I'd consider it." Etc, etc.
Then again - she only asked if you had a gf. It's a simple, "No, not right now." She hasn't insisted on being one yet, so you have some time to work with here. If she does press, tell her you like to take things slow and get to know each other first before jumping into a relationship. lol

Beyond All Seas
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
