Happy New Year, everyone! It's the second weekend of 2021, but things don't seem to go as we expected. Bangkok, together with countless cities around the world, is still suffering the horrid effect by the pandemic, which is a total shame for all of us to welcome the new year.
However, it's no use to drown ourselves in misery, for it's just the very beginning of 2021. Let's find something fun and uplifting to do during this weekend, shall we?
Side note: the city is pretty much bound by several regulations imposed by the government to help control the outbreak, so we try to handpick all safe activities you all can enjoy in this tricky time.
