Important occasions in February—yes, we mean Valentine's Day and the Chinese New Year—have already passed, but that doesn't mean Bangkok is going to get quiet all of a sudden. Apart from many intriguing events around the city, two more highlights this week is the return of alcoholic beverage serving in restaurants and bars after being banned for several months and the Makha Bucha day on the 26th (which gives some people an extra day off). So we have a lot to look forward to this weekend.
Take your furry friends to meet their four-legged fellows on a nice day out in a lush garden.
The Sukhothai Bangkok will host a big event for pet lovers—dogs to be specific!—to come together and play. The Paws in the Park event will also see a line-up of pet-friendly activities, including an agility competition, grooming service, a pet-product market, to arts & crafts.
