Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Chiang Mai or anywhere else: you can browse, like, write first and send voice messages or gifts without a subscription or credits. Daily caps exist only to stop spam: up to 40 new conversations a day, for example.

Are the singles around Chiang Mai real people?

There are no fake profiles here: YADate doesn't create them or chat on anyone's behalf. Photos go live only after a moderator approves them, every account confirms an email address, and reports are reviewed by people. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.

Can I meet someone who doesn't live in Chiang Mai?

Yes. Pick any other city in the filters, at home or abroad, and YADate shows the people there.
