EatMatch - Meet and eat with locals while traveling in Bangkok

Solution

Make a local friend! EatMatch lets you find locals nearby and invite them out for a meal. Locals can bring you to their favorite restaurants, help with food ordering, and be your culture guru. In return, you treat them the meal.

EatMatch will only match you with locals that speak the same languages - say English, Chinese, Korean, and more. You might be surprised how many locals are trying to learn your language!
