Generally, the neighborhood people you find frequenting a temple are better than the bar crowd.
But please tell us, how much better will golfing or yoga or jujitsu people be better than people at a temple.

Klikster - first, I wasn't directing it at you so chill out pal.
Admittedly going to a temple is a much different approach to making friends.
I don't remember how long you said you've been living in Thailand but...going to a temple I stand by what I say - if you've got to go to a temple to make friends, that's pretty sad.
If you're in a city, there are many other activities and places to meet people, places better suited to making friends - and I'm not speaking of bars. If you're in the baan nawk, it's quite easy to meet people, the trick is finding Thai friends you like and who don't view you as an ATM.
The vast majority of people who go to temples are Thai and they don't go to make friends - they go to pray. Most of the Thais I know go to the temple, pray, and leave. It's not a social gathering...
