Thaifriendly Review: Thailand’s Best Dating Site

Thaifriendly Review : Thailand’s Best Dating Site

I couldn't talk about Thai dating sites on this blog without mentioning Thaifriendly.

Whether it is the N°1 Thai dating site as they claim or not, the truth is, there's a ton of people using it.

And it's easy to understand why.

It already claims more than 2 million users and has an active community that makes it one of the best sites to meet Thai singles in Thailand and abroad.

Easy signup, clean interface, tons of users, detailed profiles, lots of filters to find the perfect date... ThaiFriendly has a lot of great features.

But you don't take my word for it, you can try it for free and make your own opinion :

Now if you want to learn more about it before you sign up, here's my review of ThaiFriendly where I take you through the different features of the site.

The number one Thai dating site ?

At least that's what Thaifriendly's website claim right on their homepage.

Right where they also say that the app has over 2.4 million users.

Impossible to verify but if we consider that Thailand has almost 70 million people and welcomes over 30 million visitors each year, that sounds possible.

On top of that, we have to keep in mind that the app is available worldwide.

That means you can use Thaifreindly to find Thai girls in the US, the UK, Australia, and even in other countries in Asia like Japan, China, or South Korea.

But that's definitely in Thailand where you will find most of the users.

And unlike Tinder or Happn that only shows people around you, with Thai Friendly, you can see all the profiles on the app and search by city or region.

Useful when you're planning a trip.

The site also seems to be suited for people who look for something serious with the possibility to filter profiles by education, occupation, income...

You can even know if your future date has or want children.

Nice if you're looking for more than a casual date.

Anyway, enough with the introduction, let's dive into the app.

How to get started on Thaifriendly?

Thaifriendly Sign Up

Creating an account on Thaifriendly is pretty fast and only takes a few minutes.

Choose between signing up with Facebook or your mobile phone follow the 3 steps to get started.

Step 1: Add a username, login details, and basic info

Step 2: Add more details about yourself

And that's it.

Now that you're done with the first 3 steps, you can go to your profile and start adding more details about yourself and what you're looking for.

Or skip it for now and start to play right away.

Setup your profile

After signing up, you can go to your profile and answer questions to give more details about yourself and what you're looking for.

This will help the site to match you with similar profiles.

That's not a mandatory step but I feel like if you're looking for something special, like a serious relationship, someone that wants children, or on the opposite, something casual, that helps a lot to find the right people instead of just doom scrolling through profiles.

I also like the fact that profiles are really complete and that everything is accessible for everyone to see.

On most dating apps you're always asking the same questions to learn about someone.

What they do for a living, what kind of relationship they want, where they live, if they have children...

At least on Thaifriendly, you know right away and don't have to ask these questions a thousand times.

On top of that, the more your profile is detailed, the more chances you have to be messaged by single Thai girls, guys, or ladyboys that have common interests and expectations.

So grab a drink and take a few minutes to set up your profile properly.

Find Dates on Thaifriendly

thai friendly search feature

There are 2 ways to search for a date on Thaifriendly.

1. Browse through all the profiles

With the normal search you can browse through all the profiles on the app and use a bunch of filters to find specific profiles :

  • Gender (girls, ladyboys, or girls and ladyboys)
  • Age (min and max)
  • Have Photo
  • Online now
  • Country
  • City
  • Area
  • English / Thai ability (premium)
  • Education (premium)
  • Weight / Height (premium)
  • Newest members (premium)
  • ...

That's pretty complete and great to narrow down the options to find what you really want.

You're looking for someone in Bangkok who's over 1.60m and speaks decent English?

Use the filters to find just that.

2. Play Search

The play search option is similar to other popular dating apps that have the famous swipe function.

Based on the filters you put, the app shows you profiles that match what you're looking for.

For each profile they show you, you can choose to like, hide, or message directly.

Then it moves on to the next one.

That's a more playful way to browse through all the profiles.

But at the same time, there are so many people on the app that I feel like it's better to start by doing a search with the filters to be more efficient and then switch to play when you've got some time to spare.

But I like the fact that they give you both options.

Chat

message autopilot for dating chat

Even if it doesn't look like it a first, Thaifriendly chat is really fast and well built.

I know, with such a chunky design you would expect something a bit behind in terms of technology.

I was too.

But it works just fine.

You can also sort your inbox by the last messages you sent, unread messages, or the last message you received.

Quite useful when you start to have a ton of messages in your inbox.

Message Autopilot

Talking about having a ton of messages, here's the mass messaging feature.

That's another function I really like and one similar to what some people are doing with bots on Tinder.

You can do mass messaging on Thai Friendly!

You can send a message or photo to up to 250 users at the same time.

Don't have time to waste?

Automate the chat and send messages to hundreds of girls, guys, and/or ladyboys at once and see who answers.

The only annoying thing about Thai friendly chat is it's limited to 1 message every 10 minutes with a free account.

So you better switch to premium if you want to land a date quickly.

Thaifriendly Premium

premium membership prices for thaifriendly dating app

Thaifriendly is free to use but has a premium version that offers additional features.

Let's be honest, the premium version is almost mandatory if you really want to take advantage of ThaiFriendly and land dates in a matter of hours and not days.

The free version only allows you to send 1 message every 10 minutes.

So imagine how long it would take to get to know someone and plan a date for free.

But Thaifriendly premium gives you access to a lot more than unlimited messages, including some really cool features.

Extra features

  • Unlimited messaging. Send as many messages and comments as you want.
  • Advanced search. Use all the filters available to narrow down your search (height, weight, education, children, and more...).
  • More privacy. You can put your profile online or offline whenever you want and hide it from non-premium users.
  • Slide into her DMs. Your messages arrive automatically on top of her inbox, above messages from free users.
  • See who likes you. You can see who checked your profile and who read your messages. You can also see who saved your profile as favorite.

Price

There's 4 different types of premium subscriptions :

  • 1 Month - $24.95
  • 3 Months - $49,95 ($16,65 / month)
  • 6 Months - $69,95 ($11,65 / month)
  • 1 Year - $119,95 ($9,99 / month)

Payment methods and refund

You can pay for Thaifrienldy premium membership by credit card, with PayPal, or with Bitcoin.

They also have a 15 days refund policy.

So you can try Thaifriendly premium features for a few days to see if it's worth it for you and cancel if you don't like it.

ThaiFriendly App (Android and iOS)

thaifriendly on the app store

Thaifriendly app is available on both the App Store and Play store.

So both Android users and iPhone/iPad owners can use the app on the go.

Like the website, the app is really simple to use and goes straight to the point.

Actually, the app has a way better design than the web version.

The website is only better to set up your account, do advanced searches, and manage messages if you have a lot of them.

But if you have only a few messages, once you've signed up and already matched with a few Thai singles on the web version, switch to the app to chat.

It's way easier to use.

Unless you're talking to 50 different girls of course. 😅

What I Think Of ThaiFriendly?

Don't be fooled by the old school design, Thaifriendly is actually pretty good and has a lot more useful functionalities than most dating apps out there.

Of course, you're gonna need the premium membership to take full advantage of it, but the filters that let you sort profiles by education, occupation, interests, and more really help to find the perfect date.

On top of that, with premium, you can see who saw your profile, when the person was last active, what they're looking for, and even add private notes on a profile you like for future reference.

In short, it might not be the ultimate dating site, but if you're in Thailand or into Thai girls, and looking for some fun or serious relationships, this app is perfect for both.

  1. I have used Thai Friendly for some time. I reviewed many, many profiles. I am sure I have blocked over 5000 profiles. There are also many scammer profile. You may contact them and they will message. Some have LINE id and you can talk to them. These eventually say they can do CAM with or do a sex video with or for you BUT they want money first. They never do the CAM or vido and you may never hear from them again. There are a lot of these girls in Bangkok, very much in Pattaya and elsewhere in Thailand.. Best to use this app or Thai Friendly when in Thailand. I encountered 1 girls that had 8 profiles and was getting about 5000 baht a day.

    1. Thanks for sharing your experience John. Unfortunately you have a lot of bots and and scammers on many dating apps, in my experience, Thaifriendly wasn’t worst than others. It might have changed since then though. But it’s a good reminder to never send people money on ANY dating app. Block anyone asking you for anything and move on.

  2. Thaifriendly.com was a good dating site about 5 years ago
    Now basically it’s become a pornhub platform mostly for profiles selling Xcampics and very little to do with actual relationships.
    Sure there are a few genuine Thai people wanting to find a relationship (and most of those sadly get pissed with users so used to a porn feed via the site, they assume everyone will strip off for 500+ THB!) but seriously it’s unlikely they won’t be disappointed to realise that it’s now virtually impossible to find true love on Thaifriendly.
    Membership is an option and it’s quite a rare site to actually offer a free contact mode, although time limited to reset (~+10 minutes).
    Worth buying membership?
    I’d say no.
    Try the free messenger and just see how it goes for you.
    At least you can’t lose.
    Most users switch to line or whatsApp anyway to avoid further delays with messages – but watch for the instant ‘here’s my contact info’ user, as your account for messages could be then flooded with requests for money or other stuff.
    Just remember Thailand life can be tough and so as prostitution is the oldest profession, it’s mostly being used by Thai people to get themselves quick cash.
    Also there are many single mums not surprisingly looking for help with childcare and so many don’t correctly choose ‘have kids’ in their profile.

    4/10 I’d rate the site for usage, has an uncluttered layout and the features are clear with good membership extras for better searches – but for an actual relationship forget that.
    1 star only!

  3. TF is filled with Freelancers and they never remove them with the REPORT feature… Hard to find any legit people there.
