@33 RPM Have you been to the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand just north of the 700 year stadium?  Might be a good place to meet people with a similar interest.  Located here:  https://goo.gl/maps/Hyn7BP3sv7F7XAHPA

NARIT hosts public nights most weekends at the telescope on site.  They also organize some offsite events at nearby mountains, dams, other dark places on special days. Planetarium is open almost every day, but usually a million school kids. However, you can stop into the Planets restaurant (closed Monday) and have a beer on the balcony and watch sunset over doi suthep. The running / cycling path that follows the canal road has an offshoot through NARIT, so around sunset there are often joggers and cyclists eating there. That's where I'll be this afternoon 🍺
