Few Bangkok evenings settle in quite as nicely as this. LHONG 1919 marks the birthday of the Mazu Goddess with three nights of free open-air screenings beside the Chao Phraya, where lanterns glow against old wooden facades and boats drift slowly past in the background. From 6pm onwards, two films screen back-to-back each night, giving people plenty of reason to linger in the courtyard with a drink. The line-up swings comfortably between blockbusters and local favourites: Superman and Mufasa: The Lion King on May 9, Jurassic World and Panda Plan on May 10, then Thai crowd-pleaser Nak Loves Mak Sooo Much! paired with The Stone on May 11. Easy, sociable, and worth building an evening around.
May 9-11. Free entry. LHONG 1919. 6pm onwards
