Rent a Thai friend who's up for whatever you're up for

Got plans and no one to do them with? Pick a friend, choose the day and meet them there. Mookata for two, a sunrise hike, a rooftop bar, front row at a concert. You choose what you do, and they come along and make it more fun.

What people rent a friend for

Anything that's more fun with two. A few favourites:

Two friends clinking beers over a mookata grill in Bangkok

Food

Mookata, hot pot, a long dinner, a 2am noodle run. Most Thai food is made for sharing anyway.

Two friends with drinks at a Kata Beach bar at sunset

Drinks

Rooftop bars, craft beer, or a bucket of ice and a few Changs at a street bar.

Two friends cheering at a live music bar in Bangkok

Nights out

Live music, a club, a bar crawl. Someone to go with, and to share the Grab home.

Two friends high-fiving at a misty viewpoint on Doi Suthep after a hike

Hiking

Sunrise viewpoints, waterfalls, a forest trail. Better with someone setting the pace beside you.

Two friends with their arms up in a concert crowd in Bangkok

Concerts and events

Got two tickets? Bring a friend to the concert, the football or the festival.

A Thai friend and a visitor with shopping bags and milk tea in a Bangkok mall

Shopping

Malls, markets and a second opinion on that shirt. Bonus: they can ask for a better price in Thai.

Two friends playing badminton at an indoor court in Bangkok

Gym and sports

Badminton, a run in the park, a Muay Thai class. A partner makes you show up.

Two friends singing in a pink-lit karaoke room

Karaoke and games

Private karaoke rooms, board-game cafes, arcades and bowling.

How it works

  1. Pick a friend

    Browse by city, see what they're up for and check their rate.

  2. Tell us the plan

    Choose a date, a start time, how long and where to meet. Your credits are held, not spent.

  3. Meet up and have fun

    We confirm with your friend and send you the details. If it can't happen, your credits go straight back.

Credits are only used once your booking is confirmed.More about how it works

Fun, and strictly platonic

  • Every friend is picked by hand. We find them ourselves; nobody signs up to be listed.
  • It's friendship and nothing more. Dating, romance and adult services aren't allowed, and anyone who asks is removed.
  • First meet-ups start somewhere public, like a cafe, a mall or a station exit.
  • Friends can say no to anything, and so can you.

Questions people ask

What is Rent Thai Friend?
Rent Thai Friend lets you pay for a Thai friend's time and company in Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Phuket. You pick the plan, like dinner, a hike or a concert, and they come along. It's strictly platonic, and every friend is picked by hand. Each friend sets an hourly rate in credits.
Is this a dating service?
No. Rent Thai Friend is strictly platonic. You're paying for a friend's time and company for an activity you choose. Romance and adult services aren't allowed, and anyone who asks for them loses their account.
Why are the photos blurred?
To protect our friends' privacy, so their faces aren't public on the internet. Sign in, add your details, and once you're approved you'll see everyone's photos properly.
How much does it cost to rent a friend?
Each friend sets an hourly rate, shown in credits on their profile, with a minimum number of hours. Food, drinks, tickets and transport for your plan are extra and paid on the day.
When do I pay?
You buy credits before you send a request, and the request holds them. They're only used once your friend confirms. If it doesn't go ahead, they go straight back to your wallet.
What can we do together?
Pretty much anything legal, platonic and fun: meals, drinks, nights out, hikes, concerts, shopping, the gym, karaoke, the beach. Each profile lists what that friend is up for.
Do the friends speak English?
Every profile lists the languages a friend speaks and how well. You can filter by language when you browse.
Can I book the same friend again?
Of course. Open your bookings and tap Book again.
Why do I need to be approved?
We check every new member's details by hand, because our friends are meeting someone they don't know. We'll email you as soon as you're in.
