Thailand has been hit by summer showers and cloudy skies the past few months, and we can’t help but feel a bit blue. But instead of letting the dreary weather dampen our spirits, we’ve decided to embrace all it offers with the help of some soulful jazz tunes—because we all know nothing soothes and smooths our rain-ruffled feathers better than some sax-inflected soundtracks. We’ve rounded up the best jazz venues in the city, so you’ll know where to go to embrace those rainy day blues.  

Street art in Bangkok has evolved into a prominent feature of the cityscape, capturing the attention of locals and visitors alike. From carefully crafted murals to eye-catching graffiti tags, the urban art scene has flourished in recent years. With the rise of social media and initiatives like the recent Lud Pon Festival in odd areas, street art has gained immense popularity. We've explored the vibrant streets, from Ratchathewi to Charoenkrung, and compiled a list of the must-visit spots for street art enthusiasts. Prepare to be amazed by the artistic wonders that adorn the walls of Bangkok's urban landscape.

Calling veganism a trend is so last year. It’s now a legit lifestyle option, thanks to advocates who relentlessly point out that a meat-free, plant-based diet is beneficial, not just to one's health but to the environment as well. (Did you know that animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions or that the leading cause of rainforest destruction are livestock and feed crops?*) So it’s a good sign that we’re seeing more plant-based establishments cropping up in the city. We’ve rounded up the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants as well as vegan delivery options in the city, from creative vegan eateries to a raw food cafe to a shop that sells plant-based cheese. Whether you’re a full-time vegan, a dabbler in the diet or somewhere in between, any of these places won’t have you asking for meat.

The whole city is on pause and residents are asked to stay in for a few weeks. Instead of absorbing fake news and listlessly scrolling through your social media feed, why not take this time to enrich your mind with a bit of much-needed inspiration. We’ve listed some of the best motivational podcasts to keep your mind entertained and productive while isolating at home. Alternatively, if you’re still looking for more, check out our definitive list of the best podcasts to listen to right now. Plus, we’ve got our very own podcast – ‘your city or mine?’ – in which Time Out Group CEO Julio Bruno talks to thought-leaders and pioneers about the innovations and ideas shaping our cities.

Electronic music like techno, house and many other sub-genres have been enjoying a huge and devoted following in the international music circuit for decades, but in Bangkok, where EDM or pop-filled nightclubs prevail, it’s considered music for the subcultural set, although this has been changing as of late. Those who are familiar with the night scene in Bangkok may have noticed the change in the last few years. Due to the hard work and dedication of artists and promoters, and the rising number of new clubs, events, and festivals, electronica is no longer an underground in the city.

Since you’re spending so much time indoors while the whole nation is on lockdown, why not take this as a good time to improve your home environment with some houseplants. Apart from adding pops of color to your living space, plants also help create a more eye-friendly and relaxing environment. They also help purify indoor air by clearing it off irritants, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Here’s a rundown of some of the best indoor plants as well as the plant shops that can deliver straight to your doorstep.

It may be difficult to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle while on lockdown. Self-isolation could result in inactiveness that gains you extra weight, and depression that calls out to endless junk food snacking. Perhaps it’s high time to turn to healthy bowls. Packed with much-needed nutrients, and a good balance of proteins, these all-in-one meals are an ideal choice for keeping healthy and hale during these difficult times. Here are a few restaurants that are offering these nutritious and healthy eats for delivery

Who is Mean?  Phiravich “Mean” Attachitsataporn is an actor who rose to fame when he starred in the Thai Boys Love drama Love by Chance in 2018. He’s now playing his biggest role to date as the lead in My Bubble Tea, a new rom-com series on One 31 and VIU.  What you probably don’t know about him Mean likes to travel. He works a lot, so every two or three months, he takes a trip somewhere in Thailand, either alone or with friends or alone. If he has more than three days to spare, he travels abroad, usually to a country within Asia. He loves the beach and listening to the sound of the waves.   Tanisorn Vongsoontorn/Time Out Bangkok    What’s the biggest misconception people have of him? “My age. People think I’m older than I actually am,” Mean says. He is, in fact, only 22 and a fresh college graduate to boot. Apart from guessing his age wrong, people tend to think that his English is excellent. “People like to think that I speak fluent English because I travel a lot, but I can actually only speak a little bit.” What he values in life Stability is important to Mean who says it helps to be stable, especially in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the young actor, he has his life all planned out. Right now, he is determined to build a new house for himself and his family by the time he’s 25.   Tanisorn Vongsoontorn/Time Out Bangkok    He’s really into fashion For Mean, fashion is what drives and connects the world. It’s also a way to explore the many f

The Thai edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the first book in the beloved Harry Potter series, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in July. For this momentous occasion, local publisher Nanmeebooks has released a special edition for all seven Harry Potter books featuring the work of rising Thai artist Arus “Arch” Angchuan aka Apolar. The confessed Potterhead designed all the covers and chapter headers, and provided the illustrations inside the books including stunning full-page images that are only available in this special edition. He also designed the box set as well as souvenir items like postcards and bookmarks.  Time Out sits down with the passionate artist, who is currently working as a freelance conceptual and visual development artist, to talk about his love for the Harry Potter books and how having an architectural background has influenced his artwork.   Sereechai Puttes/Time Out Bangkok    How did you first get into drawing?I have always liked to draw since I was young. I was influenced by my dad who’s really into art. I tried sports and a lot of other stuff, but art is what I enjoyed the most. When traveling, I always carried a sketchbook with me. Then it kind of became a habit of mine to draw. When I studied architecture at Chula, I kind of stopped drawing ‘cause the study of architecture focuses more on practical techniques—I did a lot of model-cutting. In my fourth year of college, I met someone who graduated from a really famous university

We’re all probably finding ourselves cooking at home a lot more lately—or at least trying to. Some of us are likely masters of the kitchen by now. (It looks like the lockdown has its upside after all.) Now that you’ve perfected your cooking game, it’s time to push things a bit further and make sure your meals are gorgeously presented. Here are some home shops and brands that sell beautifully-designed plates for enhancing your stay-at-home dining experience. 

Sino-Southeast Asian cuisine may not elicit long queues or rabid hankerings, but pair it with a pretty good drinks list, buzzy vibes and cool interiors (there’s a vintage car parked in the dining area) and this newly opened restaurant on Chakkraphatdi Phong Road in the old town may just actually pull in discerning foodies—even those who live in the inner part of the city. What used to be an old shophouse is now an eatery that showcases playful and creative tweaks on old family recipes. The food here has deep Chinese roots although you will also find a few classic dishes from all over Southeast Asia. The name of the restaurant stands for “down to food,” but it can also be derivative of the Chinese words dao, tu and fook which means “knife, to apply and blessing,” respectively. The decor alone makes this place a standout. An old Morris Ten automobile is parked just inside the door, a conspicuous complement to the wooden tables, vintage bric a brac, and Chinese-style chairs that came with the place. (We expected nothing less than retro cool anyway as the restaurant is co-owned by Vudi Somboonkulavudi, the brains behind famed flea market Made By Legacy.) Try the crispy-fried starters before easing into the sharing plates. We were especially impressed by the hand-cut eggplant fries (B120), which came with sriracha sauce, duck nuggets (B120) served with hoisin ketchup, and duck fried chicken (B220) served alongside purple coleslaw. Or opt for something lighter like the Salad Hoo Mo

You wouldn’t guess that a fine-dining restaurant lies behind a white door of a structure that seamlessly blends in with the rest of the houses on the small alley of Trok Saphan Yaun. Hybe Songwat serves dishes inspired by the owners’ travels, and in prices that won’t break the bank. Every dish also cleverly manifests Vietnamese influences, mainly for the fact that the historic area was once occupied by the Vietnamese, “I want people to know the story of the neighborhood,” Piyapa “Meow” Vichiansan, one of the co-owners, explains. She is quick to point out, however that they are not a Vietnamese restaurant. “We serve food based on our trips to different countries. After we get back from a trip, we talk to the chef about how we can interpret our experience into the food. Like when we visited Korea, we came up with Korean food—but with Vietnamese tweaks.” The food is not the only thing that takes you on a journey. Each sense is heightened  through the ambient music, the heady smell of incense, and video recordings of the owners’ travels playing on vintage TVs. During our visit, the menu (B1,590) revolved around the theme Fraichement (“fresh” in English), and walked us through seven Vietnamese-inflected courses within three chapters: Street, River and Home. Each dish is named after a certain part of a journey. Along the River reveals baked razor clams topped with garlic crumbs and edible flowers, and comes with kumquat mayonnaise. It is followed by Go With the Flow, a bisque with

Thai artist Niam Mawornkanong, who’s known for his hypnotic art, is back at it with his seventh solo exhibition, where he uses the vast blue ocean as the focal point in his paintings.  The gallery is now open by appointment only. 

See a side of Bangkok that you’ve probably never seen before at this exhibition by British photographer and writer Ben Davies. The series looks at the city’s rich heritage and fading charm through black and white images shot over the past five years with a large-format Linhof film camera.

If it’s not the house and disco tunes pumping in the background that catches your attention, then it’s the enticing variety of food displayed at the counter. Singapore-born Pimp My Salad, run by the team behind Charoenkrung brunch spot Sarnies (another Singaporean brand), will make you rethink how a salad should look and taste—and it doesn’t involve just a bunch of mixed greens and sugary dressing. Here, you can put together your own healthy combination based on your dietary preferences. Each serving is prepared from scratch and comes in hefty portions. But what makes Pimp My Salad really stand out are their hot food options. Proteins, from cured and smoked salmon (B130) to sous vide rump steak (B120) to coconut and kaffir lime chicken (B80), are grilled on wood in an open-fire pit and can be mixed with sides of your choice, including cayenne grilled corn with paprika and lime (B35), baked falafels (B50/two pieces), miso-braised fennel (B30) or spiced, herbed quinoa (B60). But it won’t be a real salad place without cold offerings. At Pimp My Salad, cold options include chickpea larb salad (B50), beetroot and pumpkin seed hummus (B35), egg salad with dill pickles (B45), or buckwheat soba (B30). If too many choices are getting you in a tizzy, play it safe and order one of the many drool-worthy, pre-made bowls such as Cool Gai (B215), which mixes coconut chicken with kaffir lime, chickpea larb salad, sautéed mushrooms, brown rice and nam jim jaew (Thai chili sauce) mayonnaise;

Barefood Bangkok has proven that being vegan doesn’t mean cutting out the salty, stretchy goodness cheese provides. Wanting to create food that is delicious, plant-based, non processed, and use locally sourced ingredients as much as possible, Thai owner Taksina Nuangsri and Italian chef/co-owner Edoardo Bonavolta, started a nut cheese business about three and a half years ago. Their cheeses are made with cashew sourced from the south of Thailand, and are offered in six flavors: truffle, chili, classic, smoked oak wood, mixed herbs, and smoked jack. Aside from the cheese platter, don’t miss the Barefood Cheeseburger, which boasts a succulent patty made with tempeh, zucchini, beetroot, radish, mushroom, koji (a type of fungus), and flaxseed. If you like mushrooms, their house-made, whole-grain pasta with mushroom porcini sauce is a must.

Vistro has filled in a gap that seemed to be missing in the city’s herbivore scene, offering the most creative takes on typical vegan fare. The vegan dishes here are so flavorful that a carnivore may even consider going full vegan after a meal. The two-story establishment is airy, plant-filled and sizeable. The first floor is perfect for grabbing small healthy bites and drinks to go, while the second floor is where all the creative dishes are served. Don’t miss the Vistro Dumplings, a moreish snack served with Taiwanese-style chili oil and gyoza sauce, and the Habibi Wrap, which stuffs marinated “chicken,” iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, and bell pepper in a soft wheat tortilla. End your meal with a gooey brownie topped with a scoop of vegan ice cream. Their house-made kombucha and wellness lattes are also a must.

As COVID-19 continues to affect the bar and nightlife business, the jazz venue named after one of Chet Baker’s hit songs is trying to deal with the ill-fated situation by converting its bar into a café. Instead of serving alcohol-injected tipples, Alonetogether has opened up its doors during the day and is now serving well-executed mocktails, such as virgin Bloody Mary (B250), Blue Hawaii (B240), and White Russian (B220), and a few baked goods like chocolate cheesecake (B220) and strawberry shortcake (B220). You can have these cakes with their drip coffee every Saturday and Sunday. Famed coffee haven Roots will be offering quality brews from 19-21 June.  Keeping to its reputation, jazz tunes still play in the background.

The music industry all over the world has been hit hard by the pandemic. For months, clubs, festivals, club nights, and parties have come to a halt as a result of coronavirus lockdown, which means thousands of artists and people in the industry have been left jobless.  United We Stream, a non-profit streaming initiative started by Berlin clubs to raise funds to support music venues and individuals affected by Covid-19, is venturing outside of Europe with United We Stream Asia this weekend.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it's gonna be a while before we can go to the movies again (sobbing). But to be honest, do you want to breathe the same air with other human beings in a closed, poorly-circulated environment for two or three hours? We have a suggestion for you. Why not build your own movie theater at home.

Though the government has eased up on some restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus, Bangkokians are still encouraged to stay in and work from home.

Shopping malls across the city are expected to reopen this Sunday (May 17), as the number of new COVID-19 cases remain slow. Many malls, including those operated by Siam Piwat—ICON SIAM, Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery—and those under the Central Group—CentralWorld, Central Chidlom and Central Embassy—are set to welcome back mallgoers with a few “new normal” regulations. These include: 1. Each mallgoer has to wear a mask. Malls by the Central Group will sell masks for patrons who don’t have one.  2. Each shopper will have their temperatures checked before entering the mall. Entrance will be denied to those with a temperature higher than 37.5. 3. Shoppers are encouraged to use mobile banking and e-payment systems instead of cash.  What malls are doing   1. Regular (every 30 minutes) and daily disinfection of high-touch surfaces like handrails and elevator buttons, and of restrooms. 2. Clothes that have been touched or fit by shoppers will be sterilized at Central Department Stores. Fittings rooms will be sanitized after every use. 3. Window shields will be mounted on dining tables, and concierge and cashier counters.  4. A limited amount of shoppers will be allowed inside each mall at a given time (one person/five square meters).  5. All diners will be seated at least one meter apart.  6. At malls under the Central Group, parking cards and charge cards will be disinfected before and after every use, while malls under Siam Piwat will disinfect cards every 30 minut
