The Most Popular “Locked Specs”

Among Single Men and Women Dating in Thailand in 2025

 

According to the latest report in 2024, Thailand recorded fewer than 500,000 newborns for the first time in 70 years, marking a low-birth crisis. The birth rate is expected to continue declining, placing Thailand among the countries with the lowest fertility rates in the region.

 

One of the key reasons for Thailand’s low birth rate is the large number of singles who remain unmarried.

 

High-end matchmaking company Bangkok Matching found that many singles stay single because they have firmly “locked” certain specifications in multiple dimensions—whether in looks, education, income, or lifestyle. If their expectations are not met, many prefer to remain single rather than lower their standards. This trend reflects the reality that modern singles prioritize quality of life, compatibility, and future stability over simply having a partner to avoid loneliness.

 

In 2025, these “most popular locked specs” have significantly shaped Thailand’s dating and marriage market. Bangkok Matching has compiled the following insights:

✨What Makes Bangkok Matching Different from Other Matchmaking Companies in Thailand

 

1. Vision and First-Hand Experience of the Founder
   Our Founder and CEO — Khun Bee Kulchulee Subsinudom Nylander — has a deep passion for helping singles find true love with sincerity and dedication. Before founding Bangkok Matching, she personally explored over 300 dates through various methods — from business networking events, chambers of commerce, investment and knowledge courses, and even scuba diving lessons, to dating websites and apps, both with Thai and international men.

These experiences gave her profound insights into dating techniques, attraction psychology, and cultural differences in how men around the world think and express themselves about relationships.

 

2. Expertise in Psychology and Business Management
   With academic backgrounds in Counseling Psychology and Business Administration, Khun Bee deeply understands human behavior and individuality. This knowledge allows her to provide personalized dating advice and coaching for both Thai and international members, ensuring each client maximizes their chance of finding a meaningful relationship.

 

3. Personal Involvement by the CEO
   Khun Bee personally oversees every matchmaking process and regularly monitors members’ progress. Before a membership begins, she talks with each client (per clients request) to offer direct advice — identifying strengths, areas for improvement, and strategies for successful dating. Her goal is simple: to help every Bangkok Matching member find the right partner and build lasting love.

 

4. Cross-Cultural Understanding and High-Society Experience
   As a Thai-Chinese who has been married for over 17 years to Mr. Håkan Nylander, a Swedish former Trade Commissioner stationed in several Asian countries before moving to Bangkok, Khun Bee possesses deep understanding of both Thai and international cultures. Her experience in international and high-society circles enables her to truly understand the mindset and relationship expectations of high-caliber, successful singles.

 

5. Global Exposure and Cultural Insight
   Having traveled to over 60 countries, often residing in some for months, Khun Bee has gained a broad and empathetic understanding of diverse lifestyles, values, and relationship dynamics across cultures — knowledge that shapes how Bangkok Matching connects people globally.

 

6. The Highest Screening Standards
   Bangkok Matching maintains the strictest screening policy. We do not accept individuals with active mental health conditions, unless they are fully recovered and can present a certified medical clearance. This ensures a safe, respectful, and emotionally healthy environment for all members.

 

7. For Serious Relationships Only
   We accept only members who genuinely seek meaningful and long-term relationships. Even if someone has substantial financial means, if their intention is not sincere, Bangkok Matching will politely decline service. Our mission is to help clients find life partners — not temporary companions.

 

8. Verified and Authentic Member Profiles
   Every profile is carefully verified — including occupation, education, income, marital status, photos, and video introductions — ensuring all member information is accurate and trustworthy.

 

9. Professionally Trained Matchmakers
   All Bangkok Matching matchmakers are also personally trained by Khun Bee in the areas of psychology, matchmaking, and client care. This guarantees a high level of professionalism, empathy, and family-like service in every client interaction.

 

10. Continued Care After Successful Match
    Our commitment doesn’t end once members find their match. Bangkok Matching continues to follow up and support each couple until we’re confident their relationship is progressing well. Only then do we step back to give them the privacy and space to grow their love independently.
