the bangkok arrival club · free

Meet eight people in your first fourteen days.

Landing in Bangkok alone is the hard part, not the visa, not the apartment. Tell us when you arrive. We group you with the newcomers landing the same fortnight, and your first two weeks have a table, a map, and a group chat.

Cohort one is forming now, be the first to set your date.

how the fortnight works

One arrival date. One small group. Four ways to actually meet them.

Welcome dinner

Your first week, a long table of newcomers who landed the same fortnight. One reservation, zero awkward solo nights.

Weekend wander

A real itinerary through the city, markets, river, rooftops, drawn from BangkokGotMe's 14,000 mapped venues, not a tourist list.

Coworking day

One shared desk day so the people you meet aren't just a dinner, they're the ones who text you about the next thing.

Cohort chat

A private Telegram group for only your fortnight. Ask where to get a SIM, find a flatmate, split a Grab to the islands.

Cohort one is hosted personally by the founder. As named arrival dates fill in, every fortnight gets its own table. We never invent attendance, the numbers above are real signups only.

claim your fortnight

When do you land?

Drop your arrival date and we'll slot you into the cohort landing the same two weeks. The moment your fortnight has enough people, we set the table and email you the plan. No payment, ever, this is about showing up, not signing up.

Free to reserve. We store your details only to coordinate your cohort, no spam, no third-party sharing. Leave anytime.

The Arrival Club runs on BangkokGotMe's mapped venue network, 14,000+ real places, so every dinner and wander lands somewhere worth being. Bangkok first. More cities as the dates fill.
