We offer the following services:
1. Online dating via Thai Lady Date Finder™ Our unique service allows you to view real profiles from ladies looking for long-term committed relationship, and engage with them through email and live chat, exchanging personal details only when both of you are comfortable doing so.

We run background checks on all our members (with consent) and we meet all the ladies personally before they are even entered into our database, guaranteeing you that they are who their profiles portray them to be.
5. What makes you different from other, similar services?
We’re glad you asked! To answer this question thoroughly, we’d like to tell you just a bit more about our two programs: Thai Lady Date Finder™ and Thai Lady Dating Events™.
Thai Lady Date Finder™ – What Makes Us Different
1. Unlike other online dating services, we personally review every single profile of every level of membership on our site.
2. We personally meet and/or conduct complete background checks on each of our Platinum level members, guaranteeing that the people you meet are not only who they say they are (no 10-year old photos or fake information), but that they are joining our service with the sincere intention of building serious romantic connections.
3. Other sites charge premiums for chat, email or screen conversations, so that members cannot exchange personal email, telephone or chat information details. In contrast, we offer full and free communication to between members (including any contact initiated by Platinum members to Trial or Regular members). In other words, the connections that you make stay yours, even if your membership ends.
4. You determine your own Privacy Settings – meaning your profile is only visible to the people you want to see it. Unlike our competitors, we make sure our members can control their own experience on our site!
5. And unlike some sites who charge additional, often hidden fees for live chat, email, and so on…we charge one low flat monthly fee that includes it all!
6. Our service offers a linear progression from meeting online to meeting offline, all in a safe, secure and verified environment. We provide the option for you to extend your online dating to in-person dating with Thai Lady Dating Events™.

7. No other service offers you the ability to communicate online with verified members and then meet them in person through a safe, organized and no-commitment-necessary program.
6. Who are your members?
We cater to both Thai ladies looking to meet Western men, as well as Western men looking to meet Thai ladies – for serious romantic relationships only. MeetFarangMen.com is our website for Thai ladies, and DateThaiLadies.com is our website for Western men.Many single Western men lead very busy lives and find it very lonely to come home to an empty house and to sleep alone in an empty bed. Often, men who are divorced or single later in life find it difficult to find opportunities to meet the right women to spend the rest of their lives with.Many men are looking for a fresh start with a woman who embraces her femininity – one who still feels that domesticity is something to be proud of. While those traits sadly seem to be dying out in most of the Western world, what most men don’t know that is that the best place to find that traditionally feminine woman is Thailand!
Thai culture warmly embraces domesticity and femininity among women, and Thai women seek out men who appreciate those qualities. Many Western men, after finding it frustrating to meet a suitable and loving woman with which to build a lasting relationship, find that they are able to meet exactly who they’re looking for in Thailand.
Many men, aware of the rampant sex industry in Thailand, are understandably wary about trying to find a Thai lady — and they are not interested in the “scene” that Thailand in infamous for.
Our service caters specifically to men who are attracted to the beauty and unique femininity of Asian women, and who are open to exploring and understanding cultural differences. Our service specifically avoids what the sex tourism industry offers – we are committed to helping you build a long-lasting, loving and true relationship.
The Thai ladies we target are genuine, educated, and professional. They are feminine –yet still independent — and many have their own careers. These women are loyal and family-oriented.They are looking for “the real thing” in a relationship — and they are looking for someone who is open to a new start, with a twist of adventure. These women are relationship-minded, serious about finding true love. They’re looking for a true “gentleman,” who is interested in caring for them.
We believe that everyone deserves true love. If you have not found your “other half” just around the corner, it can sometimes be worth travelling halfway around the world to find her.There is a unique serenity and genuine joy that we see in the Western/Thai couples that we help connect. This alone is what motivates us to help bring more and more couples together.
Completeness and happiness are within your reach — and you both deserve it!
7. How do you screen your members?
Both Platinum Membership at Thai Lady Date Finder™ and participation in our Thai Lady Dating Events™ program are available by application only. Nobody can just sign up online. Unlike many online dating companies who charge unsuspecting customers to chat and connect with people who aren’t real (called a Bait and Switch scam), our service is designed specifically to protect our members against this sort of scam. We follow a multi-step process to screen all of our members — both ladies and men — in order to provide assurance that the individual’s profile has been verified as a true and accurate portrayal. This allows us to offer exclusive membership control, and guarantee that the pictures and information you exchange are verified as real.
We conduct a standard background check that covers criminal record, marital status, and any sex offenses, for anyone wishing to become a Platinum member. Such checks are standard these days — ordered by virtually all employers whenever a job application is submitted. No background checks are made without the explicit permission of the applicant and they are kept strictly confidential. If the applicant is a Thai lady, we will arrange to meet in person to talk to her and get to know her, as well as to personally verify that her photo profile is an accurate representation.
For men who apply for Platinum membership, such a face-to-face meeting is often not possible as they’re not here in Thailand. So instead, we’ll have a phone conversation with him to discuss his particular situation and requirements, and with his permission, conduct a background check though a relevant agency in his home country. Both women and men who elect Trial or Regular Memberships must still have their online profiles verified – but no background checks will be conducted.
Our site allows you to see the membership status of any members online, and determine whether they have a Trial, Regular, or Platinum membership.
8. What details do I need to provide when I sign up? (i.e., payment details?)
To sign up we require your name and email address (which will remain confidential). You’ll also need to provide a photo and the profile details you want to share online. As a standard, our administrative team reviews all profiles to ensure the suitability of photos and profile information before it goes live on the site. Trial memberships are free. Therefore you won’t need to provide any payment details if all you want is a Trial membership.
If you choose to upgrade your membership to Regular or Platinum, can make payments using PayPal, Bank Wire Transfer, Cheque, and/or ATM deposit. (ATM deposits are only available inside Thailand). We never store credit card or other payment details.
9. What information do I have to give in my profile? (i.e., profession? age? children?)
We believe in honesty and transparency when building a romantic relationship. And the more information you’re willing to share, the more people are likely to contact you. At minimum, you’ll need to provide your real name, your date of birth, and a photo. We’ll display your age, as calculated from your date of birth, which will be verified during the signup process.
While you don’t have to share any information about your profession, your children, your religion, or anything else, for that matter, we encourage you to share openly about the things that are important in your life. Most people do, using the “About Me” section in their profiles. Others, however, feel more comfortable sharing this more personal information once they’re in a one-on-one conversation.
10. Do I have to be interested in marriage in order to be eligible for this service?
Please be very aware that Thai Lady Date Finder™ is NOT a website to find a webcam sex service, a mail order bride, a holiday escort, or a “good time” girl. There are plenty of those out there. And we’re not one of them. We are committed to helping people fine serious, lasting and supportive relationships. Some people find marriage the best way to fulfill those relationships – and others can sustain them without marriage. So we require that all of our members express explicit interest in a long term, serious, sustaining and supportive relationship.
By no means do we push marriage, as we feel that is a personal choice that is best decided within the confines of the relationship.
11. What do I get as a Trial Member?
Once your profile is approved, you will have full access to the site. Just like any member, you can initiate and accept connection requests. Once a connection is established with another member you’re free to chat, email and use webcam. Your connections remain your connections even if you cancel or choose not to continue and remain as a Regular member.
Trial Membership is, of course, free, and at time of printing it’s a full 7-day period.
The idea is to give you plenty of time to see if you like us and want to go further in our program(s).
You’re only limited from seeing those ladies who have set their Privacy Settings so that their profiles are not shown to Trial Members.
13. How do interested Thai ladies hear about your service?
The majority of the ladies that use our service learn of us via word of mouth. We’ve also been featured recently in various Thai Blogs, and have begun advertising to exclusive channels via online ads.
14. Why do these ladies want to meet foreign men? How do I know they’re not just after a green card and/or money?
As a Western man, there are a few reasons you have an edge in dating Thai women.
1. Western men are perceived to be exotic and attractive to Thai women. First, Westerners are usually thought of as a little more “Hollywood” — more exotic and desirable than Thai men. It’s similar to the way that Western cultures consider Asian women exotic and beautiful. Remember that it goes both ways!
2. Western men are perceived as more caring, faithful, and family-oriented than Thai men. In Western societies, “cheating” (seeing another woman outside the confines of a monogamous relationship) is culturally frowned upon, considered unacceptable and unhealthy for the relationship. However it is not only common in Thailand, it’s traditional and acceptable, as long as a man pays monetary support to the women involved. In Thailand, having a wife and a mistress or two (or more) is seen as a status symbol. Thai have titles for “other wives” including Mia Noi – the small wife (this is the mistress) and Mia Gep – the other secret wife.
Thai women are tired of this cultural acceptance. They’re watching Western television and movies and seeing a different — more monogamous and family-centered — way of life, which is more appealing to them. And because more Western men are living and working in Thailand, Thai women are seeing the possibility of a more stable, less dramatic, emotional and family life.
3. Western men are seen as more protective and less violent than Thai men. In Thailand, domestic violence is far more commonplace than it is in Western society.
Needless to say, Thai women are more attracted to Western men as they are perceived to be less violent. Women desire security, safety, and protection – not just for themselves, but for their future family.
4. Western men are perceived as better providers than Thai men. Financial stability is a major component of security and safety. Western men usually have more income than Thai men, and Thai women feel that their quality of life would be safer and more secure with someone who can support them financially.
If you spend time getting to know your prospective partner, her motives will become clear – and based on her motives, you can determine whether you can provide for her needs. Don’t forget that there are women in all countries that will want you only for your money. Stereotypical “gold-diggers” aren’t just women from less prosperous cultures.
In Thailand you will find an amazing number of very traditional women who value a simple life and who are looking for a partner to care for and be cared for by. Unlike some Western women, Thai women are willing to make personal sacrifices to commit to that caring relationship.
16. How old are the ladies?
The minimum age to apply to the Thai Lady Date Finder™ and our Thai Lady Dating Events™ programs is 21. The majority of the ladies on our site are in their late 20’s to mid-30’s, with some in their more mature 50’s.
17. Do the ladies speak English?
Most of the ladies speak English quite well, though some need more practice. We stress to the ladies the importance of English, and many of them are currently studying or have studied English in the past. We also have plans to introduce English language products in our Store.We find that Thai ladies improve their English dramatically when entering a relationship with a Western man. As these women are serious about building a strong bond with their partners, they make it a point to study English, even if it’s only after they meet the right match. It’s also a good idea for Western men to learn some basic Thai, as not only is it good manners to be able to express greetings, thanks, or kindness in social situations, they might find it useful if they need to communicate with their lady’s family!
18. How will I communicate with the ladies online?
It depends on whether you are “connected” to that lady or not. If you’re not connected, you can Send a Kiss, Send an e-Card, Send a Gift or Send an Invitation to Connect with you. Of course, you can also receive the same. Once a “Connection Request” is accepted you and the other lady will be able to, additionally, Send e-Cards with personalized messages, Send e-mail, Use IM chat and Use Web Cam.
Should you wish to share private contact details with each other, that’s fine. You’re “connections” will remain yours. We are not our to squeeze every penny out of our members with crazy schemes like “pay for an email address” or “pay per minute chat”.
19. Is there a built-in chat option that I can use when I log in to Thai Lady Date Finder™?
Yes. If you and one of your connections are online at the same time, you can use the Thai Lady Date Finder™ built-in WebCam program.
20. What information is given in a lady’s profile?
All profiles include up-to-date photos uploaded by the member. A lady’s profile will also include a personal statement (the “About Me” section) that shares her background, profession, interests, desires, and so on. In the near future we will offer the option for members to upload an introductory video.
21. Do the ladies write their own profile stories (do they all have very high-level English)?
While most write their own profile stories, we do assist those who request it. Many of the women are still perfecting their English, and they understand the importance of communicating their introductory statements in a clear and fluent manner.
22. When I look at a lady’s profile, can they see that I have checked them out?
Yes.
23. Can I send personal messages through the service?
Yes. If you are “connected” to another lady, you can send personal email messages though the service.
24. Are my personal messages screened in any way?
No.
25. Is it safe to give a lady my personal email, Skype or MSN details?
If you are connected you can decide whether to give out your personal details. If you are unsure about sharing your personal details, you can opt to use the communication tools that we offer on the website. Many of our clients also opt to set up a second Skype or MSN account to use only for the site – which also helps keep your activities on the site more personal and private.
26. If I’m not very computer-savvy, can I jump right to the Thai Lady Dating Events™option?
Yes, absolutely! We will promote your profile and you’ll be able to see who wants to meet you. Then you can select from that list and we’ll do the rest!
One of the great things we consistently see among couples who meet via Thai Lady Dating Events™ is that usually the lady that the man least expects is the one who really knocks his socks off. Flying to meet somebody you’ve only meet online is a bit “out there”, in our view. It puts a high level of pressure on both the lady and the man. Furthermore, if you fly her to your home country, or come to Thailand with the exclusive agenda to meet her, this creates huge expectations (and possible misunderstandings) for the Thai lady and her family. This step is seen essentially as an agreement to marriage – and is generally not a good or healthy way to allow a relationship to develop naturally.
27. What are the Personalized Dating Events?
Thai Lady Dating Events™ are the natural extension of the online dating site. When a guy is interested enough to want to fly to Thailand to meet a lady, he often opts to go through our Thai Lady Dating Events™ program. We arrange any number of dates with any number of ladies. They may be from his connected list. They may be from a list that we assemble for him to select from. But all of the ladies that we recommend via this program are Platinum members. We have personally met each and every one of them, and we have carried out extensive background checks. We can say with full conviction that they are the same person they represent themselves to be on our site.The dates we coordinate are one-on-one — not a group outing – arranged according to the tastes of both parties. Whether it’s coffee, lunch, dinner dates, outings, or day trips, we arrange things that are fun, safe and relaxing to do together. Thailand is a beautiful and exotic country and our job is to give you the opportunity to meet some truly fantastic ladies in a safe and structured program conducted against a spectacular cultural backdrop. We send a Concierge to introduce and facilitate communication. We arrange for our car service and professional driver to take both parties to the venue and home again.
Membership in the Thai Lady Dating Events™ program is for a full two year period. We do that deliberately to allow a guy plenty of time to come over to Bangkok on more than one occasions and not feel rushed or pressured. In that two year period, we’ll arrange as many dates for him as he’d like with as many ladies that want to meet him. We take the success of our Dating Events guys personally and we’re ready to make sure he finds someone who is truly compatible with him. The Dating Events program is really what our business is all about.
28. Do you meet in person in Thailand or in my home country?
All of our meetings take place in Thailand. Our company is based in Thailand and we subscribe to the “old- fashioned” doctrine that a true gentleman should court a lady in surroundings comfortable to her (i.e., her home turf). We also know that Thailand is truly one of the most spectacular destinations in the world, complete with a thriving nightlife, pristine beaches, a rich culture and a huge array of the world’s finest food and drink.
29. Do you take care of travel and lodging accommodations once I come to Thailand? Is it included in the cost? If not, do you work with a travel service that you recommend?
We work with some of the most reputable and affordable travel agents in Thailand. As our member we will be happy to advise suitable accommodation to suit any budget and ensure the bookings are made. We’ll also send our limo and driver to pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel.
30. How many ladies can I meet during the Thai Lady Dating Events?
We cater each trip to your specific requests. Some clients choose to come for a short visit (perhaps as part of a business trip). Others opt to stay in Thailand for some time (as part of a longer vacation). The number of ladies you can meet is limited only by your personal time constraints and by how many ladies want to meet you. The short answer is there is no limit. We’ll arrange as many dates as you want to go on with ladies that want to meet you.
31. If I opt for Thai Lady Dating Events™, can I look through all the profiles and then choose the ladies I want to meet?
We have a “ladies first” policy. We will promote your profile and travel times, and she will pick you. You will then see the list of ladies that liked your profile and want to meet you — and see how things work out.
Don’t worry — you will be delighted by the number of sensational ladies that will want to meet you! You will probably think something along the lines of “this can’t be real”. But it is! Remember that Thai women see Western men as exotic, something they only see in the movies.
Plus, you can feel confident knowing the women you see in the profile are really who they say they are. How do we know? Don’t forget – we meet every single one of these women personally, and conduct extensive background checks on them – with their permission. If we are wrong, and if you are scammed by any one of our introductions, we will give you all your money back PLUS the cost of your airfare. You will not find another service that offers this level of commitment to their members.
If you are also a member of Thai Lady Date Finder™, you can choose to meet from your online list of connections. You can also allow us to use our system to find ladies that fit your profile, who are highly likely to spark your interest (and you theirs)!
32. Can I meet ladies that I haven’t yet connected with online during the Thai Lady Dating Event™?
Yes, the idea of the Dating Program is to promote you to a wider group than just the online connections. We can promote your profile to our database, which is much more extensive than just those ladies who are online and visible to you. We will promote your profile with your timetable in Bangkok. Ladies that want to meet you will respond. Once they do, we will forward their profiles and photos to you, so you can select the ladies you would like to meet. Once the mutual agreement is in place, we will introduce you. We will arrange the dates. We choose only the highest quality venues to provide both a relaxing and romantic environment that is still comfortable and casual. Our personal driver and professional concierge will make sure that you are escorted properly to the date venue and that you are taken back to your hotel at the end of the date. You’ll meet a number of ladies without hassle, obligation, and without the pressure of commitment. You can find out (in your own time) who really clicks with you!
33. If I find a lady that I would like to connect with on Thai Lady Date Finder™, do I have to meet her in Bangkok? Can I invite her to my home country?
If you are connected, you are free to do as you choose. The good thing about being connected is that you don’t need to use our service any longer. However, we offer this service for a very good reason. It is better to mix and mingle and date without the pressure and obligation that flying around the world creates. It’s also very important to understand the cultural implications behind inviting a Thai girl to your home country.
In Thai culture, it is almost like a proposal. Her family and friends will know you are flying to see her. The fact that you haven’t meet yet is not important. To her and her family it is a great loss of face and respect if the relationship doesn’t continue and become permanent.
However, for the lady to meet you through our dating program diminishes all those expectation. It is a traditional Thai way to meet a potential partner. An introduction through family and friends is the traditional way to get together. Because the Thai lady spends a good deal of time with our agency (through meetings and personal interviews), they quickly see us as friends.
Our personal concierge coordinates the dating process, which accommodates traditional Thai custom and helps the lady feel more comfortable. This unique service allows for a whole range of wonderful, sensational Thai ladies who would not normally meet a Western man to participate in the program. The gentlemen who join our program get the benefit of meeting normal Thai ladies looking for a real relationship – ladies they would otherwise not have the opportunity to meet.
34. What if the lady doesn’t like me?
Not everyone is suited to everyone. That’s just life. We feel it’s better to use our service, where you can meet many suitable and serious women who want to meet you – than it is to struggle through the process alone. And using our service, we are the intermediary– so you won’t have to face (or give) rejection personally.
35. Do you only offer this service to meet Thai ladies or for other Asian ladies as well?
At this time we only offer this service to meet Thai ladies.
36. Ok, I’m excited! How do I sign up?
It’s easy! Visit us to see the programs and apply.
Our company, Meet Me Now Bangkok, will put you in touch with countless single and genuine Thai women who are looking for marriage and for a man who will join them in Thailand.
We offer the option to meet pre-screened serious women who are looking for a real relationship, not to take your money. You can try our customized dating events where you can meet lovely, trustworthy Thai singles.
