    So I’m giving this one last shot before I quit.

    I’ve been on like five different Thai dating sites in the last month. Most of them feel like ghost towns or bot farms. I’m not looking for a hookup… I genuinely want to try dating a Thai woman and build something real! But almost every Thai dating site I’ve tried either has no one online, or they respond once and disappear.

    Do Thai dating sites for foreigners actually work anymore? If you’ve had luck, where? I’m trying to figure out what’s the best Thai dating site that doesn’t just milk credits and vanish.

    yo I’ve been through the same cycle!
    download, create account, get excited, then 2 messages later: silence or “send gift please” lol.
    BUT there are a few decent ones that didn’t feel like a scam. These 3 were the only ones I’d use again:

    • SakuraDate – Probably the most legit out of all I tried. Not a huge site, but it’s clean, the girls’ bios are solid (not just “hello dear”) and they’re not instantly asking for money or gifts. It’s a credit-based Thai dating service but the pricing’s chill. I’ve been talking to one girl from Chiang Rai for like 3 weeks now.
    • LanaDate – More international, but they’ve got a good number of Thai women. The voice message option is surprisingly helpful, makes chats feel more real. Not free, but worth it if you’re not in a rush. Probably the best Thai dating website if you’re looking for something with more depth.
    • NaomiDate – Newer but not bad. The search filters are very useful!! I found Thai women by region, age, even by religion. Some girls are super responsive. Not as busy as the other two but it didn’t feel fake. Worth a shot.

    They’re all credit-based, not totally free, but compared to 90% of what’s out there, they feel like actual Thai dating sites with real profiles.

    thanks for this!! I was honestly about to try SakuraDate but wasn’t sure if it was just another paywall trap. Good to hear it’s not just bots and coin leeches.
    I’ve been burned on a few sites where every message is like $1 and you still get no reply. It’s crazy. I don’t mind paying, I just want it to feel like there’s someone on the other side lol.

    Real talk, are there even any free Thai dating sites that work anymore?
    I mean like ACTUALLY free, not “free to sign up” Thai dating app and then “please upgrade to reply” the second someone messages you.
    Everything I tried either ghosted me or spammed me with “Hot girl wants to chat” popups 😂

    if you want truly free Thai dating sites, you’re gonna be scraping the bottom of the internet lol.
    Every decent Thai dating website I’ve found has some kind of credit or premium system. NaomiDate gives free credits at signup, that’s about as good as it gets.
    The 100% free ones either have 3 users total or feel like 2007. Not worth your time.

    Has anyone actually met someone in real life through these? I’m heading to Thailand for a few weeks and was hoping to connect ahead of time. Not looking to be weird, just wanna meet someone who’s not a tourist hookup.
    Is that even a thing on these Thai women dating sites or is everyone just chatting for months and never meeting?

    it’s possible, but you gotta be upfront.
    I told the girl I matched with on LanaDate that I’m coming in October and she was totally down to meet. She even helped me pick a hotel close to her area, hehe
    Most women on these dating sites in Thailand are gonna be cautious, but if you’re respectful and not giving off creeper vibes, meeting’s on the table. Just don’t rush it.

    Yeah I matched with someone on SakuraDate and we talked for about 2 weeks before she brought up meeting first. I didn’t even ask. She appreciated that I wasn’t pushing it.
    But yeah, real meetings are possible. You just need a bit of patience and clear intentions.

    I tried LanaDate and honestly… I liked the vibe but felt like it leaned more serious than I was ready for. I’m not looking for marriage right away. Just a solid connection, see where it goes.
    Would SakuraDate be better for that? I don’t want to ghost anyone, but I also don’t wanna lead someone on if I’m not packing a ring lol.

    Sakura’s a good middle ground. Some girls are super serious, but others are just open to chatting and seeing what happens. I told one I’m not ready to commit and she was like “okay, let’s just talk and see if we like each other.”
    It’s probably among the best dating sites in Thailand for guys like us who are still figuring it out.

    Can we get a full list of Thai dating sites people here have actually tried? Just wanna know which are legit and which to avoid without reading 50 ads.
    Honestly, if I were dead set on dating Thai women now, I’d just go with Sakura and skip the rest. Most of the smaller ones just recycle profiles anyway.

    Not my usual area of interest but this thread is wild helpful 😅
    Following because I have a friend who keeps asking about Thai dating apps and I had no clue what to tell him.

    Update: Tried SakuraDate this week and had 3 chats already. One fizzled, one was okay, and one’s been surprisingly deep. Girl from Udon Thani, fluent in English, super kind. She asked me about my family, what kind of relationship I’m after, etc.

    Didn’t expect it to feel so… human. I’m gonna stick with it and maybe try Naomi later if this doesn’t work out. Appreciate everyone here!! this thread saved me a lot of money and time 🙏
