Bangkok’s drink scene is getting its moment in the spotlight. The Bangkok Bar Show 2025 lands at the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, turning the ballroom into a playground for anyone who thinks cocktails are an art form. Expect the city’s top brands rubbing shoulders with bartenders from across the globe, each shaking, stirring and scheming their way to something unforgettable. Daytime panels and seminars in Montathip Room 1 offer a peek behind the scenes, spilling secrets about trends, techniques and the occasional scandal. It’s less about suits and more about curiosity – the kind that makes you linger over a glass, watch a twist of citrus catch the light, and realise that Bangkok’s bar world is a little chaotic, a little dazzling and entirely worth getting lost in.
October 10-12. B360-1,399 via here. Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, 1pm onwards
