Bangkok dating safety tips
Bangkok is a safe city for going out, and a few simple habits make meeting someone new safer still. These apply whether you met online, through friends or on HelloHere.
Before you meet
- Meet in a busy public place you know, and get there on your own.
- Tell a friend who you are meeting, where and when.
- Charge your phone and keep some cash for a taxi.
During the date
- Order your own drink, watch it being made and keep it with you.
- Choosing alcohol-free drinks keeps your judgement sharp.
- Do not share your address, workplace details or financial information yet.
- Trust your instincts. You can leave at any moment, without explaining.
Getting home
- Use a ride-hailing app or a metered taxi and share your trip in real time.
- Do not feel obliged to go somewhere else with someone you just met.
Red flags
- Pressure to move somewhere private quickly.
- Requests for money, investments or crypto, even framed as an opportunity.
- Stories that change, or refusal to show their face live.
