doesn't seem bad unless it is expensive. How much?

All these girls are on Facebook groups discussing their farang -  be aware.

Thaifriendly, Thaicupid, Tinder, etc.

 

Many women from bars, freelancers, escort services have accounts with all of them to increase their chances of "getting foreigners". Lots of whackos, prostitutes and general women looking for "rich foreigner".  You may be middle age, old age, unattractive men but money plays big role.

 

https://mojomatt.me/thai-dating-sites-apps/

 

And how one lonely middle age Youtuber who hooked up with his current Thai woman.

 

 

Only nice thing about that vid is the bloody dogs!

 

 

 

 

Not sure which dating site but there are some decent women on there looking.  Many professional woman don't go to bars except with a company outing or friends bday.  

Start 3 weeks before his visit, Pay 20-30$ for only 1 month membership and then plan to spend 4 hours a day searching and sending out a short message to any he is interested in.  Should be talking to 10-20 each Day.  Maybe 1 out of 100 will be worth putting in a top 5 list that he talks to most days.   If he is staring 2 months should have 5+ on his short list to visit. 

They do hate to be vacation gf but for the chance to find a western man they will risk it.  

If he talked correctly to the top 5 girls an intimate first night should be expected.   

Nice girls are not at the bars.

Many women have sworn off Thai men.

He will need to learn to jettison the scammers quickly.   Be aware of what Thai time ladies seem to reply.  During pre covid if they replied at 3-4 am Thai time you knew they were working girls finished for the night.

You don't say what area in Thailand... that would help.

If it's a beach resort no issue..

just tell him to smile at anything he fancies, she will do the rest.

 

How about "ANY AREA OF THAILAND!"    Thank You.

Met my school teacher wife on Thaifriendly in June 2015, flew to meet meet her August, Married her in September. Together now 6 years , 1 child. Most suitable lady for me I have ever met, good mother, financially sensible and a good brain (probably married below her in that regard). Only woman I have met that I know will stay with me and take care of me in old age.

 

Similar story for me with ThaiFriendly.  That site just served as the initial means for us to know about each other. Courted in person for months. Then lived together for two years. And now married for 8 years and counting beyond that.  My wife was working as a school librarian at the time, and was and is as real and legitimate as anyone's going to find.

 

There are success stories out there. And were it not for the dating site, we most certainly never would have met, as we were living in different cities and traveling in entirely different circles at the time. So I'm a satisfied ex-customer.

So you're expecting that somehow the service/website should be operating and performing its services for free to everyone, with no means of paying for their support staff, tech expenses, etc???

If "your friend's" only going to be here for 3-4 months then forget about a dating site...

Walk down the road and smile at a girl that you like the look of..

she'll initiate the next step if she's interested.

Very similar story. On Thai Cupid though. It was footage of her in the classroom that convinced me to move forward.

It is not difficult in the slightest to find a woman in Thailand. In my opinion, there are no such things as the best dating website or the best town or the best bar or how educated they might be.

 

But, the best woman for anyone in particular could be just around the next corner tomorrow, or it might take eight years as it did in my case!

I came to Thailand before I met my wife, as a non drinker, I never read about the bargirl scene and new nothing about bar fines or how they worked.

I dated girls working at market stalls, in an office, in a hotel, I was good looking then, probably still am for my age, tall and slim, no tattoo's, never wore shorts, always well dressed. Found it very easy to get dates.

I was so out of touch I walked up and down Sukhumvit Soi 4 right past the entrance to Nana Plaza thinking I was actually in it, it wasn't until the next time I went there that I found the real Nana Plaza.

I had been talking to other farangs who told me about the bar scene, but although I was keen to go to Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy just to see the girls, I had no interest in paying for sex.

FAR BETTER SITES as Thaifriendly.com operate for free.
Badoo, Tinder, DatinAsia. Facebook Dating, etc...
I would pay if there was any service on Thaifriendly, but after looking at it I come to the conclusion that it is not worth paying for it.

Oh dear......
Now the Thaifriendly team will be spending hours and days to see if it is true what you say and if it is true requesting them to change their ID.
OMG

I used to use Dateinasia 12 years ago. OK for the more mature women. Just set up a profile, and let the girls do the work! Got enough responses that you could filter them and end up with about 4 possibles. I was looking for 30-40 year olds. I did find 2 who were OK, not scammers, and one was definitely a keeper. But married a girl who ran a fishing park and restaurant instead. I was also looking at an Isaan area, so less 'professionals'.

My advice for you:

If you want to meet girls/woman for whatever reason and you are here onlu for a limited period of time, forget the "Meeting Sites" approach and go for the "Direct" approach.
No point to sit behind your computer the whole day and wait for the girl/woman to answer your message.

 

Go sit outside a 7/11 shop, Family Market shop or for a walk at the local park and you will meet at least 10 girls/woman in no time.
Most of them will make you an offer for sex right on the spot.

 

If this doesn't work for you for whatever reason, find a local (motorbike taxi driver) to join you and do the talk with the girls/woman.
 

By the way, most hotels have a notebook full of phone numbers of girls/woman to cater the tourist wishes.
They are mostly only one phone call away and can be very pretty to show-off with.

Another "Direct" approach, but not for the elderly tourists, is to go after sundown to a local disco club.

Many Thai girls/woman hangs around there, waiting for a "fish" to take the hook.
IF you want to take this apporach, I advise you to go with a group of friends rather than to go on your own.

I remember in Sukhumvit in Bangkok a bar somewhere opposite Nana (was at cellar level) where most of the bargirls used to go look for a foreigner after their bar was closed.

 

Finally, if you are not comfortable with meeting a girl/woman directly and want to go trough the meeting sites approach, there are lot of meeting sites with girls/woman who are waiting to catch a foreigner to "Update" their bank account.

 

A lot of FREE sites for this purpose and gauranteed to find a catch.
DateInAsia.com; Badoo.com; Tinder.com; Facebook Dating.com; Etc.

If you look for something more "spicy", pay a small fee and go for the real thing.
Naughty.com; Iamnaughty.com; etc.

HTH

always helps your judgment to meet a girl when you are both drunk... good idea...

Is the op looking for a hooker? This only works if you are in a Pattaya, Nana style area and are looking for pay for play... in the test of Thailand, people just go to 7/11 for snacks...

The 7/11 trick works everywhere in Thailand.

I live in Korat and I can assure you that it works here too.
