How Couple-Friendly is Chulalongkorn University?

View Map

What makes it 75% Couple-Friendly: Picnic lawns, pond views, and a quiet art gallery create easy date moments; after dusk lighting is limited and on-site cafés are basic, so romance is low-key.

The premier university of Thailand is a good spot to spend an afternoon and feel the vibes of the local Gen Z. The university is an oasis of tranquility but if the weather gets too hot, duck into Chula Book Center or the co-op!
