Meetup
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Meetup.com is a good place to look for a class.
- numerous foreigner-friendly events you can find on meetup.com and some digital nomad specific events too.
- 4. Meetup, if you'd like to meet localities or internationals
- Go on group hikes and other activities through meetup.com
- Other than that, you might want to use Meetup or similar platforms to look for hobby/interest-based gatherings – in big cities, there may even be women-only ones.
Cons
- Check out meetup.com The number of events can vary greatly. Certain cities like Bangkok, Mexico City and Tokyo are quite active where many cities have few events or ones that are set up as recurring but stopped a long time ago.
- In Chiang Mai, Whats App groups and Facebook groups are the main ways to find out things to do on a day to day basis (oddly I have found a lot of phantom events on Meetup)
- Meetup is kind of awkward, you like it?
- I always check on Meetup, but since 2024 Luma is becoming more popular (so I would say check those 2).

Instead, focus on doing things. Go on Meetup or Internations or whatever the equivalent is where you are and find a book club or a game night or a hiking group.
