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.

Not all revolutions shout. Some unfold quietly – on a screen, in a room high above the city, where stories flicker against the walls and identities take centre stage. This two-day film event, in partnership with the Australian Embassy in Thailand, isn’t trying to be loud. It’s trying to be honest. Held on the 30th floor of the Maa-Lai Library, the setting feels more like a friend’s living room than a formal cinema. The curated selection leans into nuance, celebrating LGBTQIA+ lives not as symbols, but as people – messy, funny, flawed, alive. Jun 13-14. Free. Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, 3pm onwards
