ThaiFriendly
Popularity:
Type: Thai Dating
Platform: Website, Android App, iOS App
ThaiFriendly is an amazingly popular site matching Thai women and western men. The site claims to have over 2.4 million members. When we visited the site, 10,185 members were online, so the choices were abundant.
Unlike many other sites on the list, ThaiFriendly is especially popular for casual dating. So, if your goal is to find a long term companion or soul mate, Thai Friendly shouldn’t be your top choice.
But if you look for casual dates, this is where ThaiFriendly shines. Some western men are surprised to find how many messages they receive on the site and the quality of women they date subsequently. You need to set up your expectation right first. The majority of Thai ladies on the site are just ordinary work women, college girls, office ladies, etc. They are just like the next-door type of girls back at your home. It’s highly unlikely you’ll date a stunningly beautiful Thai model through the site. But many western men think these ladies are attractive, and easy to chat and date.
You can choose between a free membership and a paid membership. To get best result, the paid membership is preferrable. There are certain benefits for paid membership, such as messaging other members as often as you want, without the limitation of free members to only send 1 message every 10 minutes. Profiles of paid members will also be displayed before free members on searches.
But the most important advantage of a paid membership is to improve your authenticity and show the Thai women on the site that you are a real person and ready for the dates. Many members reported dramatically improved experiences after the upgrades, like 20 to 30 times more responses.
Here are four tips to get ideal result on Thai Friendly.
- Upload several photos. You should be in clean dresses at the photos and look like someone whom a Thai lady will be interested in talking to and knowing more about.
- Most Thai ladies only want to date a guy who’s in Thailand, so if you are in the country or plan to visit it soon, you may want to indicate it on your profile.
- You may want to upgrade to a paid membership.
- Stay out of romance scams. Please don’t send anyone money you meet on the site without in-person meeting first.
Part 2: 10+ More Best Dating Sites & Apps in Thailand
Tinder
Popularity:
Type: General Dating with Some Thai Members
Platform: iOS App, Android App, Website
Tinder is a dating app widely popular in many countries, including Thailand.
The idea is simple. You’ll be presented a list of photos of members. You swipe right if you like them, and swipe left to pass. If both sides show interest, it’s a match and messages can be sent to each other.
There are lots of Tinder users in Thailand. Especially in large cities like Bangkok, many Thai ladies have signed up for Tinder. However, the experiences of western men who use Tinder to date women at Thailand vary dramatically. Some people report success, while others don’t find it work.
At Tinder, your photos are critical to generate interest. So you need to choose your photos wisely.
ThaiCupid
Popularity:
Type: Thai Dating
Platform: Website, Android App
ThaiCupid is one of the largest and most popular Thai dating sites. Actually, it claims to be "the largest Thai dating site with 3 million members." This means you may have a better chance to find your love on the site than on many other sites.
Based on the research, we find ThaiCupid enjoys good reputation. It seems ThaiCupid has become the first online choice if a western man looks for a serious Thai girlfriend, whom he may eventually marry. At the same time, if a Thai woman looks for a western long-term boyfriend or husband, ThaiCupid is also possibly the first dating site she'll think of. So we are not surprised to find over 300 success stories displayed on the site.
While the site does offer a free membership, free members have certain limitations, such as not being able to contact other free members. To maximize the chance to meet the women they may fall in love with, many western men choose to be paid members. Anyway, the subscription cost is small, if you consider the overall resources you devote, such as time, emotion, energy, and money like travel expense, to find your true love.
Badoo
Popularity:
Type: General Dating with Some Thai Members
Platform: iOS App, Android App, Website
Badoo is a dating app popular in many countries, including Thailand.
One function of Badoo is "encounter". Similar to Tinder, you swipe right or left to "like" or "pass."
Another function is "people nearby." You can find people near you in the neighborhood.
When we visited Badoo Thailand, we found lots of attractive Thai ladies active on the site.
DateinAsia Thailand

DateinAsia.com has become a very popular completely free Asian dating site, with a high number of Thai girls as members. You can send and read messages for free.
When we visited the site, we found many Thai ladies were from Bangkok, while others were from cities like Chiang Mai, Pattaya City, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Phuket, Pattaya, Nakhon Ratchasima, Bkk, Rayong, Ubon Ratchathani, Hua Hin, and Phatthaya.
As one of the most popular 100% free Thai dating sites, DateinAsia is certainly a good starting point to find your ideal Thai date.
ThaiFlirting
Popularity:
Type: Thai Dating
Platform: Website
Based on our research, we find Thai Flirting has quickly become one of the largest free dating sites fully devoted to connect Thai women with western men.
The site has lots of members. When visited the site, we searched women with photos, and got over 70,000 results. Members were from cities like Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Udon Thani, Chon Buri, Nakhon Ratchasima, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Lampang, Khon Kaen and Surat Thani.
If you’d like to join a 100% free Thai dating site, you may give Thai Flirting a try.
To increase your chance to be successful on ThaiFlirting, you can upgrade to be a premium member. On one hand, you profile will be ranked above free members in search results, so there’s more chance Thai women may find you and message you. On the other hand, more importantly, the credibility of your profile will be strengthened, because you have shown genuine interests to find dates on the site and you are willing to pay the membership fee for the purpose. Therefore, it’s more likely for you to receive response of your messages and get dates on ThaiFlirting.
AsianDating.com
Popularity:
Type: Asian Dating with Some Thai Members
Platform: Website, Android App
AsianDaing.com is very similar to ThaiCupid.com, in terms of designs and functions. In fact, both sites are operated by the same company, Cupid Media. The main difference is AsianDating.com serves the entire Asian market, while ThaiCupid focuses on Thai dating.
So if you are only interested in meeting Thai women, you may want to stick to ThaiFriendly or ThaiCupid. These two leading Thai dating sites have more Thai members than any other sites, including AsianDating.com, so you may maximize the chances to meet the Thai ladies you desire.
However, if you are also considering other Asian women, such as Filipina women, Vietnamese women, Indonesian women, Singaporean women, Japanese women, or Korean women, AsianDating.com will be the ideal place to start.
You only need to complete the profile once, and you'll be immediately presented with attractive women from all over Asia. You'll also only need to pay premium membership fee once, which is considerably less expensive than subscribing to several independent dating sites to meet Asian ladies from different countries.
Some people even argue, while AsianDating.com has less Thai members than the two largest competitors have, it's good enough for an individual user. Because each user only has time and energy to contact a limited number of Thai women on the website, the 4.5 million members of AsianDating.com offers enough chances for you to meet Thai women.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a more diversified member base from various parts of Asia, you may want to start your search from AsianDating.com.
