⌖ Bangkok · Treehouse Cafe & Bar

Hosted by Jaume R.

Build AI products people will pay for at this informal builders meetup in Bangkok, taking place on 25 October 2026 at Treehouse Cafe & Bar. From AI idea to paying customer Vibe Coding Products in Bangkok brings together people who are using AI to turn early ideas into useful, launchable products. Hosted by Jaume R., this first edition creates a relaxed setting where builders can show their work, compare approaches and help one another make progress. The meetup runs from 5:00pm to 7:00pm ICT on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at Treehouse Cafe & Bar, 20 Sukhumvit 31 in Watthana. Rather than focusing only on code, the conversation will cover the full journey from deciding what to build to finding the first paying customer. Topics and questions may include: - Choosing an AI product idea worth pursuing - Turning a rough concept into a working prototype - Deciding how and when to launch - Working out what to charge - Finding early users and first customers - Getting feedback on a demo or half-built product - Moving an existing product beyond its current stage Attendees may be building with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another AI development tool. The emphasis is on sharing practical experiences rather than prescribing one particular stack. Who should attend? All stages are welcome. You might arrive with nothing more than an idea, a prototype that only partly works, or a product already earning revenue. You do not need a technical background, and you do not need to have made money from your project. Curiosity, a desire to build something useful and the motivation to keep moving are enough. Bring a demo if you have one, a question you want to explore, or a specific problem that has slowed you down. You can also come simply to meet other locally based AI builders and learn what they are creating. A conversational builders meetup Expect informal, peer-led conversations rather than a formal lecture or highly structured workshop. The format is designed for swapping ideas, receiving direct feedback and discussing both product development and commercial decisions with people who also want to ship. Attendees can additionally use Meetup’s event chat to connect before the session begins. View the event and registration details
