December is almost upon us, and we can't deny that all the year’s best events are here. Well, here's yet another one you'll want to pencil in (or better yet, ink in permanent marker).
Goodhood and Goodfood are back for another round, bringing together the city's style-obsessed shoppers and serious food lovers for a year-end blowout at Sermsuk Warehouse by the Chao Phraya River. Two festivals, two weekends, one very excellent excuse to dress up and go out.
First up is Goodhood Vol. 6, running December 4-7. This is where Bangkok's coolest shops and those hard-to-find brands all congregate in one spot, so you can actually tick off your Christmas shopping without traipsing across town. But it's not just about the retail therapy, each day wraps up with indie music sets to keep you there well past closing time.
December 4 features Tilly Birds, Polycat, Rejizz, DJ Mikepack and DJ About Time.
December 5 brings Pun, Blvckheart, Chala Deen, DJ Shockko and DJ Sumairu.
December 6 brings Youngohm, Yented, 2Ectasy, DJ Bookythestrider and DJ M Dey Say;
December 7 wraps up with The Parkinson, Kachain, Cupnoodle, DJ B-Set and DJ CCK.
If you've worked up an appetite from all that shopping (or you just fancy skipping straight to the eating bit), Goodfood Vol. 4 follows on December 12-14. Bangkok's top restaurants turn up with everything from street food favourites to fancier fare, all washed down with decent drinks and backed by live music throughout.
December 12 features Tattoo Colour, Loserpop, Laugh Laugh Laugh, DJ Esspee and DJ Mikepck.
December 13 brings Lipta, Landokmai, JOYÉ, DJ Bomber Selecta and DJ K9.
December 14 wraps up with Better Weather, Pariss, DJ K9 and DJ Paracha.
