Networking Options in Bangkok<\/h2>\n

There are a number of clubs in Bangkok<\/a> whose main aim is to help expats network, for business and pleasure. Clubs such as the Royal Bangkok Sport’s Club and the British Club have a number of expat members who visit on a daily and weekly basis. They are good places to meet fellow expats as there are many social events held throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Expat Groups<\/h3>\n

Expat’s Association of Bangkok<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Expat’s Association of Bangkok is an organisation whose goal is to introduce expats to each other, provide a social network to both new and established expats living within the city and to provide support and advice. A number of expats throughout the city attend the weekly meetings that are held at different restaurants throughout the CBD. It is a fairly low-key club which is largely attended by retired and semi-retired expats, but they often have invaluable information on important issues affecting expats in the city.
