Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Bangkok are Bangkok Culture Buddies (BCB) Thai-English Language Exchange, Barrio Latino at REVO Bangkok, and Bangkok Runners. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Bangkok is friendly and full of things to do, but the city is huge and traffic keeps people inside their own circles. The easiest way in is a regular event or a busy place where sharing a table, a class or a dance is part of the evening.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, from Silom and Sukhumvit to Rama 9 and Victory Monument. All of them work if you go alone.
