See Thailand’s oldest railway hub all illuminated under the evening sky, bathed nightly in bright lights and 3D projection mapping designed specifically for the structure at three different spots. Architectural spotlights and 3D mapping titled “The Door” will brighten the structure’s facade. The projection reimagines the construction of Hua Lamphong as a door that opens to new discoveries. In the foyer,  digital art called “The People” will showcase a show inspired by the energy of people around the station. Inside, the train platform plays host to “The Emotions,” which describes people’s mixed feelings when trains depart. You’ll also get to see two of Thailand’s oldest vintage trains, which will be displayed exclusively for the event.

You may have noticed that Asiatique is slowly undergoing a revamp. Premium steakhouse Crystal Grill, which features tables in small glasshouses, has opened, as well as a new outpost of Siam Tea Room.  But what’s really generating excitement is the arrival of Disney 100 Village, Thailand’s very first Disney-backed destination. From what we know, the attraction will feel like a mini Disney-themed playground, complete with a lifestyle and shopping zone, exhibitions, fun spaces, and photo spots. You’ll get to shop for character merchandise (from Frozen dolls to Ironman action figures) have fun at dedicated zones inspired by the studio’s animated films (we heard it will have a 2,000-square-meter Frozen exhibit), explore the Disney Princesses Garden, and rub shoulders with your favorite Disney characters.   Disney 100 Village will be open from 24 March to 31 July. All-zone tickets (from B1,669) are now available on Thai Ticket Major.

Release date: October 7

The Suicide Squad
Warner Bros

The Suicide Squad

Release date: October 1

Don’t confuse this with the critically-panned 2016 attempt at giving life to a troop of crazy DC supervillains back in 2016. The Suicide Squad (as opposed to just “Suicide Squad”) is the sequel-slash-reboot, as well as an ambitious undertaking to overshadow the reputation of the original incarnation. It’s directed by James Gunn (you know, of Marvel’s Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy fame), so it would be interesting to see how the movie pans out.
