Online dating has become essential for modern-day lovers and loners. The matchmaking app industry is still raking in business left and right, despite complaints of countless cringe-worthy profiles, creepy users and inevitable ghosting. We list down the best dating apps in Bangkok. You’ll find there’s something for everyone and that Tinder is no longer the only viable option.
Whether you’re looking for that perfect someone or just need a concert buddy, you should download Tastebuds. The app scans your music library or lets you manually add your favorite bands to your profile to turn up matches who dig the same kind of tunes.
Works with: iOS
If you value quality over quantity, then you need to download Coffee Meets Bagel. CMB serves you only a few quality matches each day at noon based on filters like lifestyle and religion. Matches disappear in eight days so you have to come up with your opening line quick.
Works with: iOS, Android
If you’re a brave woman, check out Bumble, a dating app that requires female swipers to make the first move. This prevents girls from getting that first creepy text or inappropriate pics from pervs. But you’ve got only 24 hours to start the conversation, to which he should then respond within 24 hours. If time runs out at either end, the match expires.
Works with: iOS, Android
Happn lets you find that cutie you’ve just crossed paths with and possibly meet him or her—using geolocation technology, which pinpoints the real-time location of other users who are within 250 meters of your location.
Works with: iOS, Android
Like dudes with beards? Download Bristlr, an app that matches the bewhiskered to those with a facial fuzz fetish. You can only chat after you both heart each other.

If you’re up for something casual or looking solely for a hookup, then OkCupid’s got you covered. It works like a typical dating app by asking endless questions about your personal interests to find you potential matches, but you can also just select “hookup” to cut to the chase.
Works with: iOS, Android
Despite the sheer number of shirtless dudes flexing their biceps or the possibility of receiving creepy, cringe-worthy messages, Tinder is still one of the most widely used apps. It’s easy to use, and lets you swipe, swipe and swipe away until you find a sleeping buddy or, for the rare lucky ones, a partner down the aisle.
