Hope you are settling in!!! Like you I had difficultly meeting new people when first arriving in Bangkok. I found that joining social groups was the best way to meet people. If you're interested in sport there are lots of sporting activities to join and there are also plenty of women's groups as well. The Bangkok Guide produced by the Australian-New Zealand Women's Group is well worth purchasing. It lists all the sports, leisure, welfare and social groups in Bangkok with plenty of other useful information. You could also contact your embassy as I know my embassy holds regular events/activities which would help you meet other expats.

Or, if you are of a more literary bent...

Why do farang females gather in a dimly lit basement of the Old Dutch Pub in Soi Cowboy, an area renowned for its girly bars? And what do the women - teachers, musicians, sales reps, humanitarian aid workers, students, television producers, and business owners from more than a dozen countries - have in common apart from the fact that they all live in Bangkok?
Every other Wednesday night between 7 and 9PM, the Bangkok Women's Writing Group convenes at the Old Dutch Pub on Sukhumvit, Soi 23 to share what they have written and to reconnect socially as women who live in a testosterone-weighted city. The female scribes write poetry, children's books, erotica, novels, memoirs, personal essays, and screenplays. No previous experience is required to join apart from a passion for writing and a desire to share it with like-minded women.

I had always wondered where ex-pat farang girls go at night. It seems that they all come here. Personally, I've forgotten what it's like with a white woman but surely there must be a few farang guys out there who prefer blondes. If so, you can take your pick here. They will go with you for free! (See Why do farang girls hate Thailand?). The Dubliner chicks have their own ladies night on Wednesdays and over 100 usually turn up.
