This company allows you to sign up for a short period of one month but then takes a much longer auto renewal if you forget to cancel. I signed up for one month and then they auto-renewed me for 3 months and took £49.99 from by bank account without my permission and refused to refund even 2 months of it. This kind of practise is widespread but never seen it where they take a longer period - shocking!
FAKE ACCOUNTS AND KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU SAY. CONVERSATIONS YOU HAD BEFORE WITH OTHERS COME BACK IN OTHER CHATS. THIS WEBSITE FOLLOWS YOUR SEARCH BEHAVIOUR AND RESPONDS TO IT, PROBABLY UNTIL YOU ARE A RICH MF TURNED POOR UNTIL YOUR HONEY DISAPPEARED. BE VERY CAREFUL!
Some girls get paid to entertain you (not what you came for). These paid accounts do not allow you to respond for free, for which you will be prompted by a "buy now" (non paid accounts do allow this). They will keep you warm with LINE ID's, video-calls and anything to have you stay. Beware. Some examples of fake profiles below.

I find Thai women very attractive, but those are mostly not what i see on this site. Also, a very large percentage of the women here know no English. I love languages, but Thai is very difficult for speakers of Indo-European languages like English.
If you see a picture of a Thai girl with large breasts, assume it is a fake aimed at presumed Western male tastes. If you want women with large breasts, don't waste your time on Thai, or most any Asian website.
My account was hacked within 30 hours of being established. The parties accessed both financial information and my account verification information (in my case, a driver's license). I notified ThaiCupid immediately. And... no response. I followed up. And no response. I would not recommend this site to anyone until they secure their site.
The site itself has warnings so not sure it's their fault but beware of scammers. Red flags are getting you to migrate off the site(eg to Hangouts), early declarations of love, and more. When these occur be careful there's a train coming and it will run you over. The pressure to "help"is bound to happen just before some liason, try & stay detached emotionally
After searching the site I found 3 or 4 women to talk to. Most that wanted to talk to me were really to young for me. After about a week I started to talk to just 1 woman. We began to use facebook messenger to video call in the morning and evening every day for about 3 months. We are both retired so had the time. I went to Thailand to see if we really get along face to face like we did online. After 2 trips to Thailand and about 2 months of staying together all was good for me. Then about 3 months after I came back to America we got married. She came here to meet my family and then we will return to Thailand to live. It is not a big city but about the poorest place in Thailand. Nong Bus Lamphu is a great place to retired and does not cost a lot to live there. We have a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, 2 story but I would prefer a single story house myself. She is well educated and so is her family. She has no kids and how perfect is that. We also got married online and that cost about $600 (yes it is legal).
The site was good for me. Advice I would give is know what you are looking for. Video call as soon as you can. Do not part with cash until you have met face to face and see with your own eyes what you are getting into.
Once you sign up for the site your only option is to hide your profile if you wish to quit the site. Unable to delete my profile unless that option is hidden in some remote obscure nook. Sent an email to customer service inquiring about deletion and was promptly ignored.
Just like all date sites you have your share of legitimate users and fake ones trying to scam you out of something.

I live in thailand now and you need a stick to beat the girls off. It doesn't matter how old or ugly or what nationality you are. There are so many beautiful Thai girls who want you to be their boyfriend, you will kick yourself for wasting money on any dating site. As soon as you get off the plane here, the dream is real and just gets better and better. Forget western women, they dont even rate a second thought anymore. Forget dating sites for Thai girls, there is someone for everyone here. This is paradise for men on earth, just get your $#*! on a plane and come see for yourself. Dating sites... phhttt. For what!
Was a non-paying member for months. I would just visit the site to see if anything interesting and worth paying a membership for. One day I received 2 emails out of the blue from women that were within reasonable distance (not in another country). They were both attractive so I decided wtf. Sure enough within a few hours of replying back to these women BOTH profiles were no longer online.
These are called "SHILL" profiles. Almost like bait and switch but in this case of shills there is only bait. Sometimes auction sites will use shill bidders to run up the bidding price.
Stay away from this fake site. Even if you're a non-paying member this site already has the odds in their favor that sooner or later you will dump your hard earned money into a membership. Or they will use shill profiles to entice you. Don't do it. There are plenty of free dating sites to find local women.
Answer: Yes, all dating site automatically renew, which is not good and no where they tell you that. As soon as you pay the bill for one month or 3 months go back to billing in your profile and trun off auto billing pay. Because even if you do not use the site after a month or whever you paid you will be charged.
