Thailand — For Thai Gen Z, self-care is no longer a solo ritual — it’s a lifestyle, and increasingly, a way to connect. In 2025, “Self Care” (#5) and “Self Love” (#7) ranked among the top Interests on Tinder in Thailand,1 reflecting a generation that is prioritising personal well-being, balance and intentional living — and seeking partners who share those values.
As this mindset grows, dating is extending beyond the app into shared, real-world experiences — from fitness routines to mindful lifestyles, where connection is as much about how people live as how they match.
The trend is also reflected in Tinder Interests in Thailand. “Jogging” has tripled year-on-year, while “Marathon,” “Running” and “Sports” have all increased2 — signalling a clear shift towards more active, health-conscious lifestyles among Thai singles.
Bringing this behaviour to life, Tinder has partnered with Samsung to launch the Tinder x Samsung Solemate Run Club — a new social experience that brings together a community of like-minded singles for a group run, designed to spark natural conversations and connections in a relaxed, energising environment.
The first edition, held on 22 March in Bangkok, brought together almost 100 participants to run, connect and experience a new way of meeting like-minded people beyond the screen. Momentum will continue with a second edition on 29 March 2026.
“At Samsung, we aim to use Galaxy Devices to enhance a healthy lifestyle and create experiences that add value to everyday life. Through our collaboration with Tinder we bring people together through movement, shared interests and meaningful connection. It’s exciting to show how Samsung technology can be seamlessly integrated into daily life as a “partner in personal health” and that wellness and technology can coexist to help like-minded communities connect in new ways,” said Supak Jiramongkonrat, Category Manager – Thai Samsung Electronics.
“Thai singles today are looking for people who match not just their vibe, but their lifestyle too. On Tinder, we’re seeing more users embrace Interests linked to self-care, wellness and active living — and the Tinder x Samsung Soulmate Run Club brings that to life in a fun, low-pressure way,” said Ranus Srirungruangdeja, Director, Brand, Tinder – Thailand.
Whether it’s finding a running partner, expanding your social circle, or simply trying something new, the Tinder x Samsung Solemate Run Club reflects a growing shift in how connections are made today — more active, more intentional, and more real.
