The best things to do in Bangkok this weekend (July 3-6)

Moving together with strangers holds a special kind of joy. Especially when it’s swing – all hips, heels and not taking yourself too seriously. In collaboration with Jelly Roll Jazz Club, a collective that’s been spinning and stepping their way across Thailand for years, this evening offers a little lightness in motion. The night begins gently, with a beginner-friendly dance class at 8pm, where no one cares if you get it wrong so long as you keep going. By 8.30pm, a live jazz band takes over, and the room starts to hum – with brass, rhythm and the thrill of a beat you’re suddenly keeping up with. It’s not about technique, really. It’s about remembering what it feels like to enjoy the moment out loud. July 3. B600 via here and B800 at the door. Clutch BKK, The Warehouse Talad Noi, 8.30pm-11.30pm

Once a printing house, now a memory pressed between tiled floors and wooden stools – this exhibition remembers Thai Wattana Panich not just as a building, but as a beating heart of knowledge production. Tucked in the centre of Bangkok, it served as a quiet engine of authority, where language wasn’t simply used but standardised. Today, the show asks what happens when the direction shifts – when words don’t trickle down from textbooks, but bubble up from tweets, slang and subtitled memes. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s about power, who holds it, and who gets to redefine it. In one room, a narrow reading space mirrors cramped living quarters. Visitors must squat to read. It’s a subtle nod to who language once excluded, and who now rewrites the rules from the bottom up. There are games, too. Of course. Until Aug 17. Free. Bangkok Kunsthalle, 2pm-8pm

Have you ever looked at yourself mid-week, mid-thought, mid-life, and wondered – when did I become this? Not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet, slow-burn way things shift. Skin turns over. Hair greys. The favourite mug chips, then becomes more beloved for it. That’s the pulse of WERDIN, an exhibition less about ceramics than it is about metamorphosis. The artist doesn’t seem interested in permanence. Instead, they prod at what happens when things are in flux – how clay can’t always say what needs saying. So they borrow other languages. A gleam of steel here, a crack there. Not mistakes, but evidence. Until August 9. Free. La Lanta Fine Art, 10am-7pm

There’s a curious magic in stepping back millions of years – a chance to wander a world before ours, where giant creatures roamed freely. This event offers just that: an immersive trek alongside Thai dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts, as if the clock has unwound to a forgotten era. Each step pulls you deeper into a landscape shaped by colossal terrestrial rulers, their shadows still lingering in the imagination. It’s less a simple exhibition and more a portal to ancient earth, where awe and curiosity collide. For anyone who’s ever been fascinated by the primeval, this is an invitation to experience wonder unfiltered – a rare glimpse of a world lost but never forgotten. July 1-November 2. B150-350 at the door. Museum Pier, 10am-6pm

Print is back – bold, messy and everywhere. This year’s festival lands in Bangkok with the quietly subversive theme: ‘Printing is everywhere’. Think less gallery, more street corner. Organised by GroundControl and PPP Studio, the event swaps exclusivity for ink-stained hands and shared space. Expect everything from striking wall pieces to tiny treasures, plus a special showcase pairing ten artists with ten print studios – each bringing their own twist. After Chiang Mai’s turn in 2022, Bangkok now gets to press, pull and smudge its way in. There’ll be weekend workshops too, perfect for anyone keen to roll up sleeves and give it a go. July 4-15. Free. Central Chidlom, 4pm-10pm

Robin Ordell is a name that quietly commands respect across Europe’s underground scene. A fixture at Berlin’s Club der Visionaere, Hoppetosse and The Pickle Factory, he’s the founder of No Time County and a long-time Half Baked resident – rarely spotted this far afield. His sets unfold like a journey through jazz, funk and minimal, weaving soulful rhythms with a pulse that never lets up. For those who’ve danced through his nights, there’s a knowing warmth, a shared secret in the grooves. If you haven’t yet, this feels like the perfect moment to begin – an invitation to dive deep into a world where music shapes the night and every beat tells a story. July 4. B500 via here and B700 at the door. Beamcube, 9pm onwards

It starts with a flicker on the screen. A whisper in the dark. The kind of silence that doesn’t stay still. Thailand’s first horror film festival isn’t content with jump scares – it wants to crawl under your skin and stay there. Held somewhere between a nightmare and a block party, the festival reimagines outdoor cinema with a line-up of scream-worthy titles: Ouija, Us, Smile, The Sisters, Coming Soon and Shutter. But it doesn’t stop at the credits. There’s a haunted house turned art exhibition, unsettling stories from behind the scenes, short film competitions and eerie conversations with directors and cast. Add in live music, food that bites back, and a programme that keeps shifting, and it’s not just horror – it’s a haunted playground. Updates via Facebook: Thai Film Director Association. July 4-6. Free. Maen Sri Waterworks building.

Pull Up! returns, this time with DJ Ennio and Hi(hg)hat at the helm, steering the night into deep territories of drum and bass and techno. It’s a gathering that feels less like a party and more like a shared ritual – where beats ripple through the air and time dissolves into rhythm. Ennio’s precision meets Hi(hg)hat’s raw energy, creating a soundscape that pulses with urgency and subtlety in equal measure. For those who live for the moments when the music takes over, this is more than a set – it’s an invitation to lose yourself in the labyrinth of sound and emerge somewhere new, somewhere electric. July 4. B200 at the door. Blaq Lyte Rover, 9pm onwards

Tomoaki Murayama doesn’t draw animals, he conjures them. In his first solo exhibition in Thailand, the Japanese artist offers a quiet kind of magic – dense, monochrome worlds where owls share space with octopuses, where roots tangle with antlers, and where the line between things blurs into something softer. Born in Kyoto, Murayama takes the forest not just as subject but as philosophy: an ecosystem without borders, where everything touches everything else, eventually. His drawings – intricate to the point of near obsession – reward slowness. What first appears decorative reveals layers, like moss on bark or veins in a leaf. The sculptures feel like those same lines, suddenly upright and breathing. Even the gallery space resists separation. Creatures perch near eye level, tucked into corners, watching. It’s not just an exhibition. It’s a quiet argument against division. Until July 18. Free. Art Focus Bangkok, Rivercity Bangkok, 10am-8pm

This exhibition unfolds around the simple phrase ‘side by side’ – a meditation on the selves we are and the ones we might have been. At its heart is Mr. Halfman, a storyteller from a parallel universe, weaving tales where opposites don’t clash but converse, where different choices exist in harmony. It’s less about regret and more about curiosity – an invitation to wander these twin worlds, to embrace moments of joy, calm and connection. In this space between what is and what could have been, we find room to breathe, to love and to live entirely on our own terms. July 5-27. Free. GalileOasis Gallery, 10am-7pm

A day where ink meets sound, and memories take shape on skin. This event threads tattooing and music together under the theme ‘traces of memories’, inviting a quiet reckoning with the past. 12 tattoo artists, each with a voice of their own, offer flash tattoos that aren’t just designs but fragments of emotion – etched gently, meant to linger. It’s a space to revisit moments, to carry them forward in permanent whispers. Over the needles, five creative workshops open doors to new ways of expressing what’s lived and felt, blurring the line between memory and art. Here, the personal becomes collective, a shared journey painted in ink and sound, fleeting yet unforgettable. July 5. Register via here. When Life Gives You Lemons, 10am-6pm

Huerta arrives in Bangkok not with fanfare but with the kind of quiet assurance that fills a room before the first beat drops. A Berlin export with a penchant for swung-out house and hazy edits, he’s the sort of producer who doesn’t just play a set – he builds a world. Beamcube hosts the night, in collaboration with Bassis, the grassroots platform gently reshaping Asia’s electronic underground. His work, scattered across Slow Life and SlapFunk, leans into warmth, depth and just enough disorientation to keep you hooked. On the local end, Praw brings genre-blurring ease while Lsyndrome keeps the pulse steady. It’s not about the drop or the peak – it’s everything in between that leaves a mark. July 5. B400 via here and B600 at the door. Beamcube, 9pm onwards

No urgency, no schedule – just moon milk, movement and the kind of silence that says more than words. This workshop isn’t about becoming your best self or fixing what’s broken. It’s gentler than that. A space to feel your way back into your body, to trace the outlines of a dream you almost forgot. Through slow ritual and soft rhythm, it invites a kind of remembering – not of facts or names, but of the parts of you that rarely speak up. Here, manifestation isn’t loud or showy. It’s felt in small shifts, in breath, in stillness. The sacred, it turns out, is quieter than we thought. July 6. B2,200. Reserve via Instagram @pinky_pyn.official_ and @altheawaken. Slowcombo, 4pm-6.30pm

House Samyan turns 21 – old enough to know better, young enough to still keep secrets. To mark the occasion, the Surprise Screening returns, cloaked in clues and adrenaline. No title, no spoilers, just the promise of something fast, tense and possibly a little unhinged. The kind of film where you grip the seat and forget to blink. But the real twist comes after the credits roll – a first look at the cinema’s upcoming roster of classics set to unspool through the rest of 2025. For those holding a Grey Card or past three paper tickets from any screenings this year, the first 80 seats are yours for free. A nod to memory, loyalty and the quiet thrill of not knowing what comes next – until the lights go down. July 6. B160 via here. House Samyan, 4.15pm onwards

Rebirth rarely arrives with fanfare. More often, it smoulders quietly – like ash cooling after fire, or something green pushing up through scorched soil. At TAY Songwat, spread across the second and third floors, an interactive 4D exhibition leans into this quiet insistence on beginning again. Rooted in the aftermath of destruction, the work draws from wildfires – unruly, raw – and the complex part humans play in both their ignition and their healing. But this isn’t a lecture in disguise. It’s intimate, unsettling, occasionally tender. Two major installations invite the body in, while video guides offer something closer to a conversation than instruction. Hope is there, just not in pastel. It’s in the invitation to reflect, to return to something elemental, and maybe – just maybe – to begin again, even if it’s only with a thought. Until July 20. Free. TAY Songwat, 9.30am-5.30pm

50 years on, the James H. W. Thompson Foundation isn’t celebrating so much as excavating. In a region where war never fully ends – just recedes, reshapes – this exhibition gathers 13 international artist collectives to unpick the Cold War’s quieter aftermath. Spread across four venues – the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, William Warren Library, Jim Thompson House Museum and Jim Thompson Art Centre. Not the chest-thumping headlines, but what lingered: the unease, the absences, the memories that don’t quite sit still. Here, history isn’t recited but felt. Each work unearths personal, often peripheral stories that slip through the cracks of official accounts. The result is a constellation of perspectives – messy, emotional, unresolved. Across painting, video and installation, the pieces gesture towards grief, survival and the strange elasticity of memory. A reminder that what we inherit isn’t just fact, but feeling. And sometimes, fiction is closer to the truth. Until July 6. Free. Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, William Warren Library, Jim Thompson House Museum and Jim Thompson Art Centre.

This festival doesn’t try to define queer cinema. It simply lets it speak. Curated by Baturu, a collective that believes art doesn’t need permission to be political, the programme spans fifteen films from across continents – Nepal to New Zealand, France to the Philippines. The stories aren’t stitched together by genre or tone, but by their refusal to shrink. They don’t beg for tolerance. They breathe, ache, kiss, leave. Screenings unfold across Bangkok – from the Goethe-Institut to Buffalo Bridge Gallery – while Chiang Mai sees parallel gatherings hosted by Sapphic Riot and Some Space. Expect talks, workshops, unlikely connections. Expect joy that doesn’t need to explain itself. June 27-July 6. Check the schedule here. Free. Goethe-Institut Thailand

This isn’t interested in shiny newness. It’s more about resonance. About pieces that carry memory, not just style. From June 27-July 3, this pop-up market in Bangkok becomes less showroom, more living archive. MINICANA, making its city debut, teams up with Chanintr’s expertly chosen pre-owned collections to host a week of curated disorder: spatial experiments, quiet revelations, and the soft chaos of creative exchange. It all kicks off with an almost-party on Industry Night – NotAFashionShow unfolds alongside Charmkok’s strange and beautiful bites, with workshops drifting somewhere nearby. RomRom Takeover follows, all rhythm and disorder, then Slow Shop Sunday dials the volume back down. Between June 30 and July 2, the space becomes a quiet showroom again until July 3, when everything is priced to leave and nothing stays put. June 27-July 3. B999 (industry night) and B555 (RomRom takeover) via here. Chanintr Pop-Up Market, 7pm onwards

CRAFT doesn’t serve meals so much as curate moods. Tucked inside Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, this all-day refuge operates on its own tempo – where a burrata-loaded toast feels just as right at 9am as it does at noon. Breakfast isn’t a time slot here, it’s a mindset. The menu meanders from bacon-draped French toast to Thai seafood porridge that lands somewhere between comfort and ceremony. For those in pursuit of chlorophyll, there’s a smoothie bowl so green it feels almost virtuous – kale, mango, spinach, all spun together with the quiet insistence of health. But indulgence lives here too. Tofu and tempeh arrive with chilli peanut sauce, a sort of soft rebellion for the plant-based crowd. Burgers come double-smashed, wraps are generously stuffed, and yes, there’s lobster – perched Waldorf-style, open-faced, unapologetic. Gluten-free options appear, if you ask nicely. Come Friday and Saturday evening, the space slips into a new rhythm with live DJs spinning laid-back grooves as daylight fades. Every day. Reserve via 02-056-9999 and craft.kimptonmaalai@ihg.com or via Line @craftbkk. CRAFT, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, 7am-11pm    

Somewhere between a botanical archive and a love letter to overlooked symbols, this exhibition asks: what if flowers weren’t just decorative but deeply political? Chiang Mai’s flame of the forest, Khon Kaen’s golden shower, Ratchaburi’s pink cassia and Pattani’s hibiscus are plucked from provincial emblems and thrust into the present, reframed through sculpture, installation and graphic forms. Each bloom becomes a portal – to place, memory, even protest – hinting at what it means to belong to a region, and how nature codes itself into the fabric of everyday life. Across four immersive zones, the show leans into nostalgia and community, challenging the way we see flora in urban contexts. This is not your auntie's flower show. It’s a quiet reconsideration of identity, told petal by petal. Until 6 July. Free. TCDC, 10.30am-7pm 

It’s a quiet panic that comes with growing older – not just the creaky knees or the birthday candles multiplying like bacteria, but the silence around it. Coming of Aging, an experiential exhibition by Eyedropper Fill, doesn’t try to soothe that discomfort. Instead, it invites you to sit with it. Think less anti-ageing cream, more existential unpacking. Through three immersive zones, visitors are nudged to consider ageing not as a decline, but as a shift – inevitable, complex and deeply human. In a world obsessed with FOMO (the fear of missing out), a subtler fear creeps in: FOGO, the fear of getting old, now bubbling up in Gen Z timelines and TikTok laments. This exhibition doesn’t offer neat resolutions. But it does ask the question we tend to avoid: what if ageing isn’t the enemy, but just another way of becoming? Until July 16. Free. River City Bangkok, 10am-8pm

By the time Friday limps to a close, The Mesh on Sukhumvit 22 has already started to hum. Not with the polite clink of cutlery or background jazz, but with live voices – raw, melodic, sometimes heartbreaking, occasionally euphoric. Each week, the space shapeshifts into something looser and louder, as solo artists and acoustic duos take their place beneath the warm spill of lights. The soundtrack drifts from indie originals to bittersweet covers, filtered through the kind of intimacy only a small venue allows. You’re invited to nurse a cold brew from their Best Brews list, pick at something smoky or fried, and stay longer than you planned to. It’s not groundbreaking, and that’s the point. It’s familiar in a way that feels grounding. A soft exhale after the week. A room full of strangers mouthing the same chorus. Something to look forward to. Every Friday. Reserve via here or 02-262-0000. The Mesh, Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok, 7pm onwards

Between 1991 and 1996, Tawatchai Somkong was quietly crafting a visual language all his own. His 16 chosen art books, culled from a wider archive of 23, capture a world of symbolic abstraction born during his studies at Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan, India. The exhibition unfolds like a whispered dialogue between faiths, where religious icons collide and merge in unexpected ways. Over 2,000 images map a journey of beauty and belief, revealing the artist’s deep spiritual reckoning. It’s less a straightforward show and more an immersive meditation on identity, faith and the power of symbols to shape our inner landscapes – a haunting visual hymn to complexity and devotion. Until July 13. Free. Blacklist Gallery, 10am-4pm

At Ms.Jigger, lunch isn’t just a break in the day – it’s a curated escape, reimagined through the ‘Pranzo Perfetto’ experience. Let’s begin with the star: weekend lunches. Served from 11:30am to 5:00pm, the set menu is accompanied by a generous spread of free-flow antipasti – an unfiltered celebration of Italian flavor. Expect bruschetta, marinated olives, seabass carpaccio and golden fried dough balls glazed with tomato and anchovy. Focaccia arrives warm and unapologetically indulgent, filled with mortadella and mascarpone. This is a leisurely interlude – a stylish Italian affair that’s perfectly designed to sabotage your dinner plans. Prices start at B950 and B1,050 for the weekend set lunch with antipasti. During the week, weekday lunches offer a shorter, yet no less satisfying, detour into Italian comfort. Served from 11:30am to 2:30pm. Think beef carpaccio with rocket and parmesan, or citrus-cured salmon dotted with balsamic caviar, followed by mains like wagyu fettuccine, wood-fired pizza or a rustic Luganega sausage that hardly needs the side of mash. At B750 for two courses and B850 for three, it’s a surprisingly affordable luxury. Everyday. Starts at B750. Reserve via 02-056-9999 and msjigger.kimptonmaalai@ihg.com or via Line @Ms.Jigger. Ms.Jigger, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, 11.30pm-5pm

Scrubb has always been more feeling than formula – music that lingers in the in-between. Sense of SCRUBB is an exhibition that attempts to capture this atmosphere without relying on sound alone. It opens with delicate works on canvas and clay, fragments offered up by artists who’ve sat with the band’s music long enough to translate it visually. Then come the words – short stories and poems penned by fellow musicians, tucked with half-remembered nights and soft melancholies. There’s even a scent, faint and fleeting, crafted to recall melody without needing to name it. Visitors are invited to speak too, to voice what Scrubb stirs in them. But the real question sits quietly behind it all – how do others see this band, and what does that reflection reveal? Intimate, unfussy, the exhibition closes with a casual talk session featuring Ball and Muey, surrounded by the art they inspired without ever having to ask for it. June 13-August 12. Free. MMAD - MunMun Art Destination, 10.30am-7pm

In his latest offering, Udom Taephanich – long known for saying too much with a single raised eyebrow – turns his attention to the strange erosion of play. Not the type sold in boxes, but the kind we used to conjure instinctively, when sofa cushions became castles and questions came without hesitation. Back then, imagination was a birthright. We made monsters out of scribbles, entire worlds from cardboard. Then came the invisible border called adulthood, where mistakes became shameful and joy needed justification. A reminder that the real decay isn’t physical – it’s forgetting how to be ridiculous without apology. And maybe, just maybe, it’s reversible. June 7-August 3. B250-850 via here. The Pinnacle Hall, ICONSIAM, 11am-9pm

This exhibition wants you to look – and keep looking. This is portraiture unraveled, pulled from its classical moorings and reassembled in ways that feel both intimate and estranged. There’s weight and symmetry in works by André Schulze and Lino Lago – nods to tradition, to balance, to the stillness of oil and time. But that’s only one side of the mirror. Celio Koko splinters the form, pulling it towards something more elastic. Adriana Oliver and Chance Cooper remove the face altogether, offering blankness as a kind of truth, or at least a provocation. What does it mean to be seen now? Between digital noise and emotional residue, the exhibition sketches an answer. Or maybe just a question, blurred at the edges, like memory itself. May 30-July 30. Free. Agni Gallery, 10am-7pm

To mark the 20th anniversary of Naruto, 54 Entertainment, in partnership with SL Experiences, presents Naruto The Gallery – an immersive exhibition that invites fans to explore the intertwined fates of Naruto and Sasuke. With seven meticulously curated zones, visitors journey through key moments, from their childhood in Konoha to their fated reunion during the Fourth Great Ninja War. The exhibition is not just a walk down memory lane, though. It showcases original storyboards, character designs and unforgettable anime scenes that reveal the heart of the series. Highlights include a stunning diorama of Hidden Leaf Village, a tribute to iconic quotes and an exclusive collaboration with five emerging Japanese artists. It’s a celebration of the anime’s legacy, full of surprises for fans both old and new. May 31-July 31. B250-450 via here. Free for kids below four years old. River City Bangkok, 10am-8pm

Zen Sanehngamjaroen doesn’t offer easy answers. Instead, she asks you to join FutureHype: The Wave of Tomorrow, a group show at Maison JE that doesn’t so much predict the future as hold a mirror to the chaos of now. In her hands, curation becomes something more nuanced – less a selection, more a dissection. Twelve Thai artists respond to a world caught mid-transformation, where tradition is unravelling and tech keeps rewriting the rules. It isn’t just about gadgets or screens. It’s about the quiet shift in how we relate to each other, to time, to the planet. Culture frays, rituals dissolve, belief systems buckle under digital weight. There’s beauty here, but it’s laced with uncertainty. A gentle warning, perhaps: in the rush forward, we might lose more than we think. May 17-July 6. Free. Maison JE Art Space, 11am-7pm

The potholes weren’t metaphorical, though they might as well have been. In Tada Hengsapkul’s latest work, a simple journey home becomes a quiet reckoning – with governance, with memory, with the steady erosion of what should have been maintained. The rutted streets of Bangkok aren’t just inconvenient. They’re symptomatic. Each jolt and swerve calls back the artist’s past trips along Mittraphap Road, the so-called ‘Friendship Highway’, once a Cold War-era gift from America, now a conduit for uneven development stretching from capital to countryside. Here, infrastructure acts as both a relic and reminder – of broken systems and promises that never quite held. What begins as a personal moment unfolds into something far wider, asking not what progress looks like, but whom it truly serves. Not everything built was meant to last. May 17-July 13. Free. Hop Photo Gallery, MunMun Srinakarin, 11am-7pm

Breathe in the slow burn of New Orleans. There’s something unrushed, almost stubborn, in the way Ms. Asta’s New Orleans lets her swing simmer. The kind of jazz that doesn’t ask to be heard so much as lived in. Her rhythm rolls like heat down Chartres Street, deliberate and dusky, clinging to the corners of the room. New Orleans cuisine, with its sacred mess of flavour, doesn’t need elevation – just the right soundtrack. And hers isn’t background music. It’s a second course. A hush falls between bites, not from reverence, but recognition. This is how the city feeds you: slowly, thoroughly, and always with music on its breath. Every Friday. Reserve via 062-141-6549 or tinassathorn.com, Tina's Sathorn, 7.30pm-9.15pm (live jazz)

Bar Sathorn’s latest Rooftop Garden Edition blends creativity with conscious practice. This time, cocktails draw on ingredients freshly picked from W Bangkok’s own rooftop garden. Central to the concept is a closed-loop system – kitchen scraps are composted and used to nourish the herbs that then star in the drinks. Behind the bar, mixologists work with basil, rosemary and other greens grown just a few floors above, infusing each cocktail with vibrant flavour and a sense of place. The menu includes three garden-led signatures: sathorn garden, a smooth tequila-based mix with minty coconut and cucumber; sathorntini, a herbaceous martini featuring clarified green apple and rosemary; and sathorn breeze, a tropical blend of rum, melon and Thai basil. It's sustainability, with a splash of elegance. Until June 30. Starting from B420. Reserve via 02-344-4025. W Bangkok, 2.30pm-1am

This immersive, interactive digital art exhibition themed "Nature and Wildlife" highlights the beauty of ecosystems and biodiversity through advanced techniques like projection mapping, laser art and high-quality media. Spread across nine rooms at King Power Mahanakon, each space presents a distinctive experience reminiscent of a fantastical zoo. Notable features include the Kaleidoscope zone, enveloped in a variety of flowers that serve as food for butterflies; a laser projection room showcasing the majesty of predators; and an interactive underwater world. Youngsters can also enjoy a colouring activity and have their creations appear on the walls. A special surprise awaits with the appearance of Moo Deng, the famous pygmy hippopotamus from Khao Kheow Zoo, who awaits in different rooms to delight you. Until July 31. B350 via here and B1,000-1,200 including the Sky Walk via here. Fourth floor, King Power Mahanakon, 10am-9pm

Biscotti welcomes chef Giuseppe Bonura, a native of Syracusa in Sicily, to the team. Imbued with a modern twist on traditional Sicilian flavours, chef Giuseppe’s new menu spotlights authentic ingredients and contemporary flare.

His stunning main course offerings feature stars such as pan-fried sea bass with spelt, mussels, clams and artichoke in a rich prawn bisque, and fantastic desserts like sweet mandarin cannolo, which combines orange ricotta, mandarin compote and hazelnut ice cream for a perfect finish.

This exhibition brings a fresh approach to addressing the mental health challenges faced by many in Thailand. It creates a therapeutic space that blends digital art with engaging sensory elements such as light, colour, sound and touch. The focus is on the connection between the body and mind–acknowledging the importance of physical sensations in managing emotions. The exhibition focuses on the psychological concept of 'self-compassion', encouraging the audience to reflect on their well-being and mental state. Until July 12, 2025.  B200 via here. 2nd floor, MMAD at MunMun Srinakarin, 11am-8pm
