Thai Friendly

[QUOTE=PgReal;3058253]Out of curiosity, in a "normal" year do they tend to lower their prices in the 'low' season.[/QUOTE]No, that has not been my experience. The range of prices for Short Time on [U]Thai Friendly[/U] is 1000 - 3000 THB. What I have noticed is that there are more attractive girls that are available. More girls accept my low ball offer of 1000 THB. My regulars contact me instead of me contacting them.

[QUOTE=PgReal;3058253]What about hotels, AirBnB's etc?[/QUOTE]Yes, brother of course. Hotel Prices are vastly different in low season than in high season. Restaurants not so much. Bars may have more drink specials.

I search for things but didn't find anything.

How direct are you on TF? I see the rules say no prostitution. Which I get given the gray area in TH laws.

I hear no chit chat get right to the point. Any sharing of initial messages or auto message with a like?

It seems all FL in online videos are glued to their phone, Unaware or anything going on around them.

I guess I would assume on TF.

Thanks.

Experience from my own booking of the same hotel, same room.

40% down.

Rather, it seems to rely on reports from users. I have observed "girls" get banned after I (and likely others) reported them as obvious scammers for asking for deposits before meeting.

Earning a ban probably depends on the pond you are fishing in. The market in Pattaya is very brazen, so asking outright may not lead to reports, especially if the girls are sending you likes and messages. You can search for my report on Pattaya TF experience. However, the Bangkok market in my observation has a lot more girls that are normies looking for "real dating". So being a pest with starter messages like "how much", "can you send pics", or "do you like anal" may get reported.

As I am working the Bangkok market, I take a more subtle approach. Simple opener that says Hi, asks if they are freelance (key word for P4 P girls) and requests them to share WhatApp or LINE. I do this all in one message since I am using the free version and can't be mussed to wait 10 minutes for each tedious back-and-forth message. If they offer their contact in return, take the conversation to another app and do the next round of screening and negotiation there. Enjoy TF, AR.

[QUOTE=AsianRain;3059013]TF does not seem to directly monitor personal chats for forbidden keywords like some other dating sites. [/QUOTE]This is correct. However, TF does monitor forbidden keywords in the title and body text of your profile.
Avoid phrases like "Looking for freelancer", "Looking for FL", "Looking for fun", "Looking for shorttime", and of course any word related to sex.

Being serious if you set up a new profile, it's worth checking it (preview) a day or so later to make sure that TF hasn't censored it for any reason, it will just show up as "moderated" and you'll need to change it. They don't warn you or send you a warning email. It happened to me and I didn't realize for a couple of days after wondering why my visits / responses fell dramatically.

I think I had. Looking for GFE companionship.

Now I don't know what to put.

I don't want to marry you.

LOL.

But seriously, I simply put 'In Pattaya now' or 'in Bangkok now' in the title, and I don't put anything in the body text.

What is important however is a photo. No photo yields very few results. I guess it makes them feel comfortable that they are dealing with a genuine person etc.

[QUOTE=PgReal;3059206]What is important however is a photo. No photo yields very few results.[/QUOTE]I also experienced a big uptick in engagement once I verified my photo. I can't remember, but there was also an engagement feature that was unlocked once my photo was verified.

While on the subject of photos, guys should remember that TF has a beauty contest element like all other dating apps. Girls are free to judge us as much as we judge them. Putting up a photo that makes you look your best goes a long way towards avoiding swipe left rejection, especially in the relative seller's market of Bangkok. Enjoy, AR.

Hi all,

I've noticed that when accessing my account on my laptop / Browser rather than the APP version, a lot of functionality seems to be gone. I only noticed after a few days for example of 'adding favourites' that none of them have been kept. Just one example of various issues I've noticed.

Has anyone else noticed issues recently when using TF on a PC or laptop?

[QUOTE=PgReal;3059530]Just one example of various issues I've noticed.

I normally use Favorites to bookmark girls that I have hooked up with. To see if things are still working, I did a quick test to add to my favorites a nice tight mini bubble butt talent that I have been tracking. Screenshot attached. Hopefully TF is not throttling functionality to drive membership. AR.

As I understand things, there are 2 versions of TF: web based and app based. They are clearly different. On top of that, premium members get more access than regular members. I am premium.

The TF web based search will now only display ladies who have been online within the last hour, this short limit is new (perhaps just a few days). Long ago this web based search went back to people who have not been active for a long time. The app based version is different, it goes back at least 4 days, though I don't know what other limits are applicable.

I just added a new favorite using the web based TF and she has stayed there at least a few minutes, including time to reboot my computer. She also appears as a favorite on my app based TF. Favorites that I added years ago are still listed as favorites.

Viewed me now goes back only 1 day on web.

Interested in me now goes back only 2 weeks on web.

Favorited me now goes back longer than 3 years on web.

AR.[/QUOTE]It's damn frustrating as I am a premium member (sure I can't even find the cancel Subscription or billing info in the APP now either). I am using Apple and I wonder is it different to the Android version.

Now (on premium) it's not letting me bookmark a favourite or show interest even unless I have a verified photo live. I took my photo down while I left town. Sure it used to let you bookmark favourites as you do on the free version.

I've emailed the TF support, no reply yet. If they had clear rules etc I wouldn't mind so much.

Maybe for Apple it is also in their app store.
