TS Dates alternative for verified Thai ladyboys and trans women
On this page
TS Dates is a long running international trans dating site where free members can browse but cannot send messages. LadyBoy.net is a TS Dates alternative for men who want to meet ladyboys and trans women in Thailand and Southeast Asia: every account is on a paid plan, verified members carry an ID checked badge, and plans start at $14.99 a month, or $7.49 a month billed yearly.
What TS Dates offers and what it costs
TS Dates (tsdates.com) is a worldwide site for trans women and the people who date them. A free account lets you browse, read the first messages in your inbox, keep a Hotlist of up to 200 members and watch one member cam at a time, but, in DatingScout's words, you cannot send messages for free. To write to anyone you buy a paid upgrade.
DatingScout's pricing page, last updated in September 2026, lists two paid tiers:
| TS Dates plan | Term | Per month | Billed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Contact | 1 month | $19.95 | $19.95 |
| Standard Contact | 3 months | $11.95 | $35.85 |
| Standard Contact | 12 months | $8.95 | $107.40 |
| Gold | 1 month | $25.16 | $25.16 |
| Gold | 3 months | $20.95 | $62.85 |
| Gold | 12 months | $14.95 | $179.40 |
The page does not say how members are verified, and it describes the user base only as worldwide. Prices from third party sites change, so check the checkout page before you pay.
Why men look for a TS Dates alternative
- The pool is not Thai. A worldwide site gives you members in dozens of countries. If you want to talk to women in Bangkok, Pattaya or Phuket before a trip, most of your search results will be somewhere else.
- You pay before you know who is real. Messaging is locked behind the upgrade, and the site does not publish an ID check, so you commit money before you can tell a real profile from an empty one.
- The cheap rate needs a year. $8.95 a month is a Standard Contact price on a 12 month term, $107.40 up front. One month costs $19.95.
- Free accounts mean more empty profiles. Any site that lets everyone join free carries more profiles nobody answers.

Where TS Dates wins: a long track record, a wider geographic spread if you date at home in Europe or the US, and a Hotlist and cam features we do not have. Where we win: a pool focused on Thailand, a lower monthly price on both the monthly and the yearly plan, an ID check behind every verified badge, and paid accounts on both sides.

Talk about it in the forum
Who should switch, and who should stay
Switch if you are planning a trip to Thailand, if you live in the US and want to build a long distance relationship with a Thai woman who writes in her own language, or if you want to know a profile has passed an ID check before you write. The ladyboy dating page shows how matching works by city.
Stay on TS Dates if you want to meet trans women near you in the US or Europe, or if member cams are part of what you want. Many men keep both for a while. The best transgender dating app roundup compares both with My Transgender Date and Taimi, and the My Transgender Date alternative page covers the biggest site in this niche.
How to move over in four steps
- Create your account. Enter your email, confirm you are 18 or older, type the six digit code from your inbox and pick your role. No password and no questionnaire.
- Write a profile she can trust. Name your city or the city you are visiting, the languages you speak and what you are looking for. Use recent photos without your workplace or home in them.
- Search with verified only switched on. Start with Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket or Chiang Mai. The filter hides every profile that has not passed an ID check.
- Message her about her profile. Mention something she wrote and ask about her city or her work.
If your TS Dates plan is still running, cancel renewal in its account settings so you are not billed twice.
Safety and scam protection
Dating on LadyBoy.net is between adults, without payment. Escort offers, paid meetings and requests to pay for company are banned and the accounts are removed. Messages are screened for common scam patterns such as a hospital bill, a visa fee or a plane ticket that suddenly needs paying, and a warning appears in the chat when one shows up. You can block or report anyone from any screen, and the safety page explains what happens after a report. Never send money to someone you have not met.
