Bangkok answers
How do you meet people in Bangkok?
Quick answer
Pick two or three recurring groups — a run club, a language exchange, a founder meetup — and turn up to the same ones every week. Repetition beats variety.
Bangkok is full of one-off events, but friendships form through repetition. Choose a small number of recurring groups that match how you already spend your time: sport, language, craft, industry. Turning up to the same run club four weeks running will do more than attending twelve different mixers.
Start with the events calendar and the community directory on BangkokConnect, filter by your neighbourhood so getting there is easy, and message the organiser before you go. Most groups in Bangkok are used to newcomers and will tell you exactly where to stand when you arrive.
