Smooci has been available for a while now, but only recently has it come of age and finally plugged the gap that the escort industry has been yearning for.
And that is a digital platform that makes escort-client encounters easier and safer for both parties.
In this Smooci review, I'll explain exactly how the platform works, what to expect from your experience, and whether or not it is worth using.
Let's get started…
What Is Smooci?
Smooci is essentially a booking platform that allows you to connect quickly with visiting escorts, both independent girls and those from trusted agencies.
The platform enables you to instantly book available escorts (known as companions) and receive immediate confirmation of who is visiting you, where they currently are and how long it will be before they arrive.
Smooci isn't an agency, so it doesn't employ escorts (companions).
Once you have booked a date, you will have an agreement with the agency or independent companion you have chosen.
You can then contact them directly to amend or cancel your booking.
Smooci is also the first ever web site to give discounts on escort bookings and up to $15 discount on every escort booking with a premium membership.
Note that premium memberships start at under $10, which we will look at at a bit later on under pricing.
Is Smooci Safe and Discreet?
What I like about Smooci is that it provides protection for the companion and the client. It connects escorts with genuine clients, and vice versa.
It is far more discreet than picking up a girl in a bar, or off the street — which is not a good situation for either party. The identities of the escorts are known and registered, and the client has to create an account, therefore making it a safer transaction all round.
Where Countries / Cities Does Smooci Cover?
Smooci currently operates the following cities. Do double check in the city selector though, as more cities are being added as the service expands:
Asia:
- Bangkok
- Manila
- Angeles City
- Cebu
- Hong Kong
- Macau

Europe

How Do You Book an Escort?
Smooci uses an API that connects to all the escorts; so it knows who is available.
You can view user ratings and comments and get information on the services offered by each.
Let's look at the process for booking an escort in Bangkok, since that's where I am located and this is a website about Thailand.
The same process applies to any of the aforementioned cities.
It's as simple as going to the website and doing the following:
- Click on request a date at the top of the page.
- Select whether you want female or ladyboy.
- Select when you want your date (date).
- Select the time and for how long for.
- You will then see a list of companions who are online and available for your selected time.
- You have the choice to filter by specific services you want too.
- Bookings are placed and confirmed using SMS OTP verification, so have your phone to hand.

Standard vs. Premium Membership
Standard membership allows you to use the platform, which is cool because you can go right through the booking process to get a feel of how it all works before making a commitment.
But Premium Membership is preferable and very affordable at that. It offers a host of benefits that I can't see you'd want to do without.
Here's a run-down of those benefits:
Access User Reviews
We all know that when it comes to using online services, reviews are key to decision making.
While standard members can see an escort's overall rating, they can't read specific reviews. Premium members can read comments used by past clients.
What's more, no review is edited, so you see the good and the bad.
Get Location Tracking
This feature enables you to see the estimated arrival time of your date and to follow her journey all the way to your door.
Once you've made a booking through Smooci you'll be sent a live GPS tracking link the moment your date starts her journey to meet you
Access Photo Verification
Let's face it: dating sites are notorious for Photoshopping.
The escort business is no exception as agencies and independents want to display professionally edited photos, which can often be a misleading representation of how the person looks in real life.
Premium Smooci members get the benefit of photo verification.
Once a booking is complete you can vote on whether your companion's photos were accurate or not.
Photos which receive a high number of ‘no' votes are deemed inaccurate and automatically removed, while photos which receive a high number of ‘yes' votes receive the verification seal – only visible to Premium members.
Book 24-Hours in Advance
Standard membership allows you to book up to 4 hours in advance, with booking durations ranging from 2 -24 hours.
If you go premium you can get bookings confirmed up to 24 hours in advance.
This is super-helpful if you are flying in on business or for a long weekend and want to make an arrangement beforehand.
Book for as Little as an Hour
Sometimes you might just want company for a very short time. Premium members have the option of booking for a just 1-hour.
Smooci Pricing: Premium Membership
I think the pricing is very fair when you consider the associated benefits. As you'd expect, the longer you join for the more cost-effective it is:
3 days: $9.99
7 days: $14.99
30 days: $24.99
1-year: $99.99
Discounts
As mentioned previously, there is a discount in place for premium members.
The discount system works as follows:
Premium clients get an automatic discount on every booking.
In Bangkok that equates to 100 Baht off 1-3 hours, 200 Baht off 4-8 hours, 300 Baht off 10-15 hours, and 400 baht of 24-hour bookings.

My Final Thoughts
Smocci bridges an important gap in the industry between client and companion.
I think most would agree that women working in this industry should be safer, and indeed on the client side there is a need to cut down crime, in particular theft, which tends to happen in encounters where women are picked up in and around nightlife areas and the street and not directly from a bar.
Smooci keeps clients updated throughout the process via SMS updates, their private booking screen and GPS tracking of their date.
So what's clear is that Smooci offers a level of consumer information, trust and control that was up until now not available in the sex and escort industry.
On the companion side, Smooci enables escorts to work with more autonomy and efficiency, controlling their time and earnings with a new level of freedom and safety – no pimps, no “mamas or sisters” controlling them in bars, no dangerous street corners.
I see Smooci as a positive move towards a safer, more discreet system for personal liaisons, and one that has been a long time coming.

not much options available on streets at one specific point to choose from.
few here few on other locations from freelancers. all though it can be more cost effective with negotiation for short time.
and when it come to be more choosy like with couple or lesbian, many on streets feel shy and say No.
so this platform is good for couples to choose easily the right option from good looking options.
again photo specially with candy cam type software can be misleading
This is a good options specially for open minded couples looking for threesome.

Escort services in Thailand on the other hand are basically only going to appeal to one of two types. The first type is the traveling businessman who simply doesn’t have time to go out and find a girl on his own and so he finds it easier to have her come to him. And the second type simply does not want to be seen consorting with bar girls in public. Well, I suppose a Thai escort would also appeal to those types who are too shy and socially awkward to approach freelancers and bar girls. I have actually run across a few of these types before. They will hang out in the bars and you can tell that they desperately want to go with one of the girls but they just cant bring themselves to pull the trigger, or even to talk to the girls for that matter. At first this seemed incomprehensible to me, but then I realized that getting rejected by a prostitute would be particularly devastating for someone who already has very low self-esteem. And since many of the better looking bar-girls can afford to be picky there is always the chance that one could refuse to go with you. And in any case, if a guy is very shy he is going to be very intimidated by a good looking girl even if he knows that she is for sale.
By the way, I have to disagree with you that theft is “common” in encounters where women are picked up from nightlife areas – at least in Thailand. Only an extremely low percentage of Thai bargirls or freelancers would ever even consider flat out robbing a customer. There are plenty of them of course who will take advantage of the more naïve and vulnerable guys out there and proceed to bleed them dry. But even these types are not representative of the majority. And I’m not just talking out of my ass here. For a time, prior to 2007, I was pretty heavily into the Thai bar scene myself, yet not only was I never ripped off or taken advantage of in any way, but I actually met some really good friends who worked in the business. In fact, I know quite a few current or former bar girls who are more honest, ethical, and downright genuinely nice than many of the prim and proper Thai women that I have dated over the years.
Of course, even back when I was hanging out with bargirls I don’t think I ever would have considered using an escort service. The thing is, since I would typically spend anywhere from 24 hours to several days or more with these girls I wanted them to be fun to hang out with. And the only way to gauge this of course is to get to know them before you actually take them out. Not something you can do from looking at a photo or reading a bio. Still I went to the Smooci site today and tried to put myself in the shoes of a potential customer and here’s what I thought.
The first thing I noticed was that you have to be a paid member in order to see photos of the girls who are offline. And you cannot even find out how many girls in total are currently active members on the site. Many online dating sites will do the same thing and it sometimes irks me that I have to pay just to find out if they even have any girls on their entire site that might interest me. I did actually find one or two girls on Smooci that I found reasonably attractive and a few with great figures as well (not always together on the same person though). I also noticed something odd about the women on this site however and that is that a lot of them seem to have eerily similar facial features – long oval face, long straight nose, and very similar eyes and lips, etc. They also all have very light skin of course. Women’s faces normally come in a variety of shapes. For example Selena Gomez is round, Megan Fox is an oval, Olivia Wilde is a square, Scarlet Johansen and Vanessa Hudgens are diamonds, and Reese Witherspoon is a heart. I can’t quite figure out what Jenna Coleman is but I do know that I would swim the Atlantic and then proceed to walk the rest of the way across hot coals just to be with her. And as for Asian women just give me someone who looks like Jamie Chung, only a bit more curvaceous.
Anyway, the women on Smooci Bangkok just look like they were selected by some computer algorithm which measured them against some preprogrammed mathematical formula which is based on some very narrow Thai standard of beauty. The trouble is that I just like a lot more variety than this, and quite frankly it kind of creeps me out a bit seeing so many women who all have such similar features.

I think "common" was perhaps the wrong word, but it certainly does happen - I'm always seeing news reports on these incidents. Though you're right, not so much bargirls but more the street prostitutes such as those that hang out along Sukhumvit road between Nana and Asoke of an evening. That said, the majority of robbery reports do tend to be ladyboys.
Anyway, as for Smooci, I am in favour this platform because I feel it gives the women more autonomy over their work. I'm not so sure this will apply to women of 35+, but certainly younger, more tech-savvy women will be able to utilise the digital age to run their business from a website/app and not be tied to a bar with all the control in the hands of the owner and mama sang.
Oftentimes, when starting out, the women are indebted to the bar for travel and accommodation costs, and they have to meet a minimum number of hours per week, etc. Using Smooci a woman doesn't have to deal with the noise and somewhat seedy atmosphere and clientele of the bar, nor have to be there every night, 7-days a week.
As there are women who work in this way but don't like the bar setting, there are many foreigners who don't enjoy the bar scene but do want company, be it for a business trip, holiday or for the evening. Some want the feeling of a proper date too: dinner, conversation, laughs...
The digital age is changing so many areas of industry, and I think Smooci will change the goal posts for some, not all, workers and customers. Whether it will make it safer remains to be seen.
