How to make friends

[at795]

Gay people, here's a question: How did you meet your partner/friends??

I've been living in Bangkok since April this year and today I went to Gay Street for the first time.
However, there was nothing I could do but walk back and forth along the street.

How do you find friends in a place??
If anyone has any tips, please let me know.

Gay apps. Even in countries with restrictions, you can use a vpn like the locals.

Facebook, joining groups etc. Even undefined groups or classes in known gay areas will have a high probability.

Gyms and bars are very low success for friends as people tend to keep to themselves or their group unless they are just looking for sex on premises.

Thank you for your answer!!
I see, I understand.

The problem here is communication skills.
I can't speak English or Thai yet.
I also don't drink much alcohol.
Would it be difficult to get close to someone in this situation??

I've never dated anyone or been friends with anyone before.
I have no experience.

I'm from Japan.
Now, it may not be wise to say on the internet where I live.

I usually have work during the week, but I might have days off on weekends.

In that situation, you could search for Japanese gay Expat groups in Thailand on Facebook.

I see.
That might be easier.
But I want to interact with foreigners.

Then you need to learn to speak English or Thai quickly.

Of course.
I'm also planning to take Thai and English classes.
I might have to try really hard though.
