Halloween weekend hands you a costume, a crowd and a loud room, and most people still go home having spoken to no one but the friends they came with. This guide to things to do in Bangkok this weekend covers Thursday, October 29 to Sunday, November 1, 2026. It ranks 26 Bangkok events this weekend on whether the format gives you a reason to talk to a stranger. It's for you if you're single or new to the city and tired of trying to meet people in Bangkok through an app.
Five top picks come first, then six scored write-ups. After that, every event appears by day with its venue, area, time, price and a link where one exists, so you can plan around where you live and how late you want to stay out.
On this page:
TL;DR: Top Picks for Meeting People:
Bangkok Singles Night at Tony's (Thu, 7:30 PM, Tony's Sukhumvit 11)
OMG! Haunted Hearts (Sat, 6 PM, W Lounge, W Bangkok; gay edition Sun, 6 PM)
Koktail Kraft Workshop Food & Drink Market (Sat to Sun, 10 AM, Gaysorn Amarin)
OH MY GHOST!? Halloween Night Run (Sat, 5:30 PM, theCOMMONS Saladaeng)
Best Events for Meeting People in Bangkok This Weekend
These six score highest because the format does the approaching for you. Each one gives you a reason to talk to a stranger: a bingo card, a five-minute round, a workshop table, a group run or a story circle. Scores run from 1 to 10 and weigh structure, group size, cost and how many people you meet.
Bangkok Singles Night at Tony's (Single Meet Club), Thursday, October 29 | Score: 9/10
Tony's Sukhumvit 11, 477 Soi Sukhumvit 11 (Watthana), 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM. The listing shows no THB price this week, so check the ticket page; the ticket covers one drink and all activities. Hosts make introductions and run conversation starters, Connection Bingo and emoji picks for singles aged 21 and up. You can come alone or with friends. The organizer suggests you come at the start of the night, when meeting everyone takes the least effort. A bingo card turns your first line into a task, and a task costs you less nerve than a cold opener. Event details | Tickets
Why it scores well: Every guest came to meet someone, and the games supply the opener. A Thursday slot leaves you the weekend to follow up.
OMG! Haunted Hearts by OMG Matchmaking, Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1 | Score: 9/10
W Lounge, W Bangkok, 106 North Sathorn Road (Sathorn), 6 PM to 9 PM both nights. Saturday is for men and women and takes up to 60 Thai and expat singles. Sunday is for gay men and takes up to 40. Tickets cost 1,499 THB and cover one drink, snacks and unlimited picks. You apply first, OMG screens every application, and approved guests get a payment link. Each guest gets 10 or more five-minute dates, plus icebreaker games and a Haunted Heart reveal, and a costume earns you an extra drink. A five-minute round caps every awkward moment, which makes the next introduction cheaper. Saturday edition | Sunday gay edition
Why it scores well: You meet 10 or more people in three hours, and screening filters for intent. Each round ends before a conversation can stall.
Koktail Kraft Workshop Food & Drink Market, Saturday and Sunday, October 31 to November 1 | Score: 8/10

OH MY GHOST!? Halloween Night Run, Saturday, October 31 | Score: 8/10
theCOMMONS Saladaeng (Saladaeng), briefing at 5:30 PM, run from 6 PM to 7 PM. Free, and walk-ins are welcome. Mori Run Club leads a 4.7 km ghost-shaped route around Lumphini Park. After the run, the group returns for highballs, free pizza, games and a costume contest. Running side by side lowers the stakes of talking, since nobody has to hold eye contact, and the after-party gives you a second chance with the same people. Event page
Why it scores well: It's free, and a group pace keeps you beside the same runners. The after-party turns the run into an introduction.
Ghost Circle, Saturday, October 31 | Score: 8/10
PlayYard, theCOMMONS Cloud 11, 4th floor (Sukhumvit 101, Bang Chak), 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Free. Director Banjong Pisanthanakun gives a talk from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. From 7:30 PM, the room forms a circle and guests share their own ghost stories. A story circle gives you a turn to speak, and a story you liked gives you a reason to find the teller afterwards. Register
Why it scores well: It's free, and everyone gets a turn. The stories hand you an opener for the end of the night.
Ice Bath & Breathwork, Thursday, October 29 | Score: 7/10
PoA Glass Box and Dip Garden Onsen & Ice Bath, Yellow Lane (Ari), 7 PM to 9 PM. One listing names PoA White Box as the room, so ask at Yellow Lane when you arrive. Included with a Dip Onsen day pass (500 THB). Guided breathwork, ice baths and meditation. A cold plunge is a shared ordeal, and a group that endures one together has a topic for the rest of the night. People of Ari
Why it scores well: A small group shares the discomfort, and the onsen gives you a quieter place to keep talking.
