Looking for recommendations for a women’s tailor around Phrom Phong, Asoke or Nana.
I want to have two slightly unusual outfits made: a red 70s-style jumpsuit/pantsuit like the photo and a white suit with a floral-print shirt.
Ideally looking for someone experienced with women’s clothing who can work from reference photos.
Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hey everyone! Wasn't sure what sub to post this in, but I just moved to Bangkok and I'm looking to start a casual fantasy football league with some people in the area.
Nothing too serious — just looking to have some fun and enjoy the NFL season. Meeting up to watch games or grab drinks could be fun, but there's no pressure to do that.
I'm also totally open to using whatever platform people prefer (Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo, etc.) and figuring out the rules and format together.
If you're interested, let me know, doesn't matter if you have much experience with fantasy football or not.
Feel free to comment or DM me!
Is anyone having trouble with their True cell service? I've had an esim in my iPhone 13 for over a year with no problem, then yesterday and today, out of the blue, my service cuts off around the same time each day (1330). Last night I spent 2 hours at the True shop in Emquartier and the guys finally decided it was my VPN. I deleted the VPN and it worked again. Now today, same thing happens - no cell service whatsoever.
Hey wannabe Thais. I'm in Bangkok for another week and I'm looking for a salon or a barber to bleach my hair. Must be a mid-life crisis, I guess 🤷♂️.
I'm at Nana station right now and the salon I went to is charging me 3000 THB. Do you have any suggestions that charge less? All recommendations are welcome ✌️.
Thanks in advance!
The Thai government has launched a coordinated push to streamline international passenger processing at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, pledging to expand automated passport gates to 31 additional nationalities by the end of August 2026.
Dear Colleagues and Gem Lovers,
Summer is flying by and your next Bangkok Gem Night is almost here.
Monday, 7 September | 18:00–21:00
Revo Bangkok (Silom)
Followed by the usual late dinner at Nadimos for anyone who wants to keep the evening going.
As always:
No entrance fee. No pre-booking. Just good vibes and a shared love for gems and jewelry.
Expect gem-infused cocktails & mocktails, lively conversation, and our signature charity auctions where 100% of proceeds are going to the kids over at HDF Mercy Centre in Klong Toey.
This is one of the two biggest nights of the year for our community. Come catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and support a cause that matters.
Questions? Reach out anytime to Billie, Gil, or me (Simon).
See you on the 7th.

Hi all, so I’m a Singaporean 25M, thinking of moving to Bangkok or Thailand in general for work. I just want to know how is the working culture there? Is it fast paced? Is it chill? I have 2 years experience working in business and PM roles in tech and AI start ups (one b2b and one edtech) with only a diploma. I only speak English and Mandarin Chinese.
But my main concern is cost of living and salary, I’d like to do my own research as well, so can anyone point me in the right direction or give advice on where to look for rental properties, where to apply for visas (which ones as well), popular job search portals, things to look out for and avoid, and maybe overall advice if you made a move to Bangkok or Thailand.
Thanks guys
Bangkok paradox: ten-million-plus people and it can still be weirdly hard to build a real circle — everyone you click with lives 90 minutes away or leaves in three months. What's actually worked:
— Pick a schedule, not a venue. Run clubs, five-a-side football, climbing gyms, Muay Thai classes — same faces every week beats a great one-off night out. Repetition makes friends; one-offs make acquaintances.
— Gym or Muay Thai classes specifically: shared mild embarrassment bonds people faster than small talk ever will.
— Neighborhood over city. Pick your two or three BTS stops and be a regular there. More Bangkok friendships die to the commute than to anything else.
— Language exchanges and meetups: go to the same one three times before you judge it. First time you're a stranger, third time you're a regular.
— Coworking socials if you work remote — fastest way into the working crowd.
— Volunteering attracts the long-termers, the people actually invested in being here.
Full disclosure: I build a friendship app (SeaWingman — events-first, covers Bangkok), so weigh my bias — but everything above works with zero apps.
What's worked for the people who've been here for years?
Hi there - Am planning a 3 day bachelors party in Bangkok from 1 to 4 October 2026 for 10 pax. I need help in connecting to high quality Party / Club promoters - the folks who help plan parties, get tables in clubs and arrange models. Will appreciate any contacts and connects 🙏🏽
