One month into 2026 and chances are you've already let work pile up, your to-do list spiral and your heart forget what rest feels like. So here's a thought: take a breather at GalileOasis, a secret garden hiding in Ratchathewi where art, community and nature all meet.
On January 30 and 31 from midday-8pm, this end-of-January event brings together carefully selected craft beverages, wines and beers that you can taste and sip while sitting in an actual urban garden in the middle of the city. If you're doing Dry January or just don't fancy alcohol, there are non-alcoholic options too, so everyone gets to enjoy the atmosphere and properly unwind. Plus the whole thing is pet-friendly, which means your four-legged friend gets an invite as well.
Beyond the drinks, GalileOasis teams up with Documentary Club, curated by Film I trust, for their 8½ programme. Two documentary screenings open up new perspectives on life, waste and the stories we overlook every day. Tickets cost B40 and B80 and you register through their Google form.
On January 30 at 6.30pm, the screening shows The World Before Your Feet from 2018. It follows a man who walks every single street in New York City, covering over 8,000 miles as he discovers the people, lives and stories tucked away in the sprawling metropolis.
The next evening on January 31 at 6.30pm brings Scrap from 2022. This one takes you inside the graveyards of throwaway culture, from discarded mobile phones to abandoned aeroplanes, while asking some pretty uncomfortable questions about consumption and what humans leave behind.
The timing feels spot on for this kind of pause. Before January ends, you get a chance to stop, look inward and remember why you actually work this hard. It's meant to reward your heart, not send you running endlessly on some exhausting loop. Sitting with a good drink in a lovely atmosphere isn't extravagant, it's a small ritual that helps you close one month and welcome the next with something resembling peace.
GalileOasis sits near BTS Ratchathewi and the event runs across both January 30 and 31 from midday until 8pm. There's no admission fee, you just turn up and enjoy.
