The best ways to enjoy Valentine’s in Bangkok if you’re single
Modern dating is complicated. There are just so many stages—talking, seeing someone, dating, situationships, open relationships… the list goes on. And with dating apps like Bumble and Tinder, finding a partner is literally just a swipe away but somehow, the whole process feels less human, right?
Everywhere you look, there are pink decorations and couples’ discounts, making it seem like being single is a bad thing. But honestly, It’s not. As Alain de Botton says…
“One of the most important preconditions of a good relationship is a satisfactory perspective on being single.”
So, if you’re flying solo this Valentine’s in Bangkok, don’t be discouraged. There are tons of singles events, fun things to do, and plenty of ways to show love to the most important person in your life—you.
3 things to do in Bangkok for quality time with yourself on Valentine’s Day
Yes, chasing that idealised version of love is tempting—the one shaped by movies, novels, and picture-perfect romances: the passion, the heart-racing excitement, the feeling of being complete. We often blur the lines between dramatic, romantic love and love itself. But is that really what love is?
At its core, love isn’t just grand gestures or whirlwind emotions as it is about radical kindness. The kindness that you give to your partner, yes, but also to your family, friends, neighbours, and most importantly, yourself. So, here are some places to visit for solo dates.
1. Try Puppy Yoga at The Mind Over Matters
If you need a feel-good, stress-free way to spend Valentine’s, how about Puppy Yoga? Nothing boosts your mood quite like stretching into a downward dog while an actual puppy snuggles up next to you. FYI, hugging puppies releases oxytocin, the love hormone which makes this the ultimate self-care activity.
The Mind Over Matters studio is hosting a Valentine’s Day special on February 14, with two sessions at 11pm to 12.15pm and 1.15pm to 2:30pm. For more details, check out Puppy Yoga Bangkok’s schedule on The Mind Over Matters website.
2. Explore the Thonglor Neighbourhood
Walking isn’t just good for your body but it’s also a great mood booster too. What better place to explore than Thonglor? This trendy, safe, and buzzing neighbourhood is packed with things to discover, from dog cafés and Japanese malls to hidden cafés in the woods and cheap izakayas.
What do you like? Find out by exploring and taking this opportunity to get to know yourself better. You may be drawn to fusion restaurants, sleek contemporary art spaces, or buildings with stunning architecture. No need for a set plan—just take a walk and see where the city leads you!
One tip you need is to bring an umbrella and use Google Maps—because Bangkok’s weather can be as unpredictable as finding your next partner.
3. Treat yourself at Yunomori Onsen
Sometimes, all you need is a break from the chaos. The packed BTS rides, the air pollution, and the never-ending crowds at the mall. Your mind and body are connected so a little self-care goes a long way.
Give your body a reset at Yunomori Onsen, where you can soak, recover, and unwind in authentic Japanese hot springs. Yes, it’s a public bath, but trust me—everyone is minding their own business. No distractions, no small talk, just you, warm mineral baths, and pure relaxation.
After your soak, you can gulp down an ice-cold Hokkaido Milk, because it’s a thing, and then head to the resting room to chill, read a book, scroll your phone, or even take a nap. You can also extend the self-care vibe with a nourishing meal at Happy Rice, where you’ll find a menu packed with healthy, feel-good food.
Physical health is mental health so give yourself some quality time—you deserve it!
