  • Saladaeng
London’s Michelin-starred AngloThai heads to Bangkok for a rare two-night pop-up at Pavilion in Dusit Thani Bangkok. Chef John Chantarasak brings the restaurant’s signature cross-cultural cooking to the city, blending British seasonal ingredients with Thai techniques and flavours for a one-off dining experience. The five-course menu reflects AngloThai’s distinctive approach. Dishes move between Thai aromatics and British produce, starting with small appetisers such as laverbread tartlet with rhubarb and daikon, lemongrass sausage with banana pepper and soy bean, and Gillardeau oyster paired with seabuckthorn and fermented chilli. The meal continues with crab topped with Kaluga Queen Osetra caviar and coconut, followed by Hokkaido scallop with sunflower seed and wild garlic. For the main course, Wagyu striploin arrives with peppercorn curry and truffle, tying together Thai spice with rich European ingredients. Dessert finishes the evening with Thai tea, salted milk and buckwheat. Set menu from B3,250 per person. Pavilion, Dusit Thani Bangkok. March 13-14, 5-10pm

A long night of grooves waits at legendary 12x12 as Rocco Universal arrives from Bali for a rare appearance in Bangkok. Resident at Potato Head and the driving force behind Cosmic Tiger, Rocco  carries a reputation that precedes him, most often gliding between warm house rhythms and deeper club textures at the stage. Local favourites also step behind the decks. DJ Seelie brings her careful track curation while Pez keeps the floor moving with familiar confidence, carrying the room forward until the wee hours. March 14. B200 at the door. 12x12. 8pm onwards

  • Thonglor
As night falls over Bangkok, BLOSSOM gathers a crowd drawn to the darker club sounds and steady rhythmic builds of late night breakbeats. Come early and move from groove toward heavier pressure, guiding your hips through moments of tension before the eventual releasing that burst of energy reserved for only the latest of hours.  The lineup brings together selectors who favour experimentation over easy formulas. Savemekilly opens the evening with restless rhythms, followed by the curious selections of Want One? followed by Olle and Winkieb, with music stretching well past midnight.  March 14. B300 via here and B500 at the door. BLAQLYTE BLOQ. 9pm-late

  • Rattanakosin
A gathering of vintage treasures, art. objects, craft, and hands on workshops is afoot, settling comfortably inside The StandardX Bangkok Phra Arthit – a design minded address near the old riverside quarter of Chao Phraya River. Rub shoulders with collectors browsing racks of unusual finds while makers share their work across neatly arranged stalls. Creators including Wishulada, Smile Silver, Studio899, Basic Teeory and Mind Hom present objects that feel personal rather than mass produced. Be sure topause and peruse small workshops along the way, where artists explain their process and let you try it out too. A nearby coffee break fits naturally between discoveries, before another slow wander through displays that celebrate creativity with a gentle sense of style. March 14-15. Free. The StandardX, 10am-7pm

  • Yaowarat
Code, sound and language share the same stage in this audiovisual programme exploring connection across digital and human systems. Artists from Southeast Asia and Central Asia gather in Bangkok for a series of performances that make use of augmented reality, treating technology less like machinery and more like the living. Projected art moves between scanning and sensing, with algorithms appearing beside images and layered audio compositions for full Matrix-like immersion. Walking through, you’ll encounter screens flickering with shifting visuals while speakers carry fragments of speech, rhythm and electronic texture to really set the scene. The result feels reflective rather than technical, but installations still manage to recognise how bodies, languages and networks quietly link across great distances. March 14. B300 via here and B350 at the door. Bangkok Kunsthalle. 4.30pm-9pm

  • Asok
For those who just can’t say no to a coffee, then take a walk down Coffee Road as it returns to Terminal 21 Asok. Office workers stop by after long afternoons while casual wanderers arrive for a slower midday break, all united by the promise of a decent cup. Baristas line the space with stalls serving everything from careful pour-overs to bold iced blends, each offering a slightly different idea of what constitutes a perfect brew. A bassy DJ booth keeps the atmosphere lively, turning the gathering into an easy going coffee party where music and caffeine share equal importance. Stroll through the venue with cup in hand, chatting with friends or discovering unfamiliar roasts along the way. Be warned, however, you only have two hours to see it all. March 13-22. Free. Terminal 21 Asok. Midday-2pm

  • Phaya Thai
Music drifts through Bangkok once again as Soundscape returns after a well received 2025 edition featuring names such as Phum Viphurit and LANDOKMAI. This year, the festival expands its programme, placing a new generation of Thai artists even more centre stage across several party-packed evenings. The lineup begins with PURPEECH and Mirrr on March 13. March 14 opens with a daytime gathering featuring YONLAPA, Valentina Ploy and Mindfreakkk, followed later by a headline performance from The Toys before coming to a close with Tilly Birds on Sunday. Beyond the stage, a free exhibition organised by The Hechyeomoyeo gathers more than forty visual artists, inviting you to get involved with playful installations such as the luxury Glambot camera which captures cinematic moments on the big screen between sets. March 13-15. B999-2,500 via here. 515 Victory Hall. 7pm

  • Pathum Wan
You may recall this first being planned to take place in Bangkok’s famously disused New World Mall, but with an actual fear of ghosts (real ones), a new address gives this horror gathering a welcome change of scenery. The event now settles on the sixth floor of Hua Lamphong Post Office, a building whose faded grandeur still suits the mood, minus any uninvited ghouls. Evenings bring outdoor screenings beneath the night sky, while a haunted house exhibition recreates memorable scenes from cult films. Crew members share eerie stories from the set, offering glimpses behind the camera. A short film competition champions emerging horror talent, with talks where audiences question directors and actors about their craft. Food stalls and music keep spirits lively between screenings. All in all, the programme mixes Thai film favourites such as Bangkok Haunted with international chillers including The Thing and Unfriended. March 13-15. Free. Sixth floor, Hua Lam Phong Post Office, 7pm-11pm

Death waits for everyone, yet most people still struggle to speak about it. Thankfully, Death Fest breaks the ice by  inviting visitors to treat mortality as part of everyday conversation rather than a distant shadow. The theme this year, ‘old sick dead’ – a possible nod to the economic nickname Thailand’s recently acquired – but look closer and you’ll find something softer: a reminder that quality of life matters whether someone feels healthy, unwell or approaching their final chapter. Five areas shape the programme: ‘Old School’ hosts practical care sessions for families; ‘Human Life-brary Cafe’ welcomes thoughtful discussions with specialists; ‘Life Journey’ gathers services connected with ageing and palliative support; and ‘Friends Eat’ encourages us to hold onto shared meals with loved ones, before it’s too late. There’s also some reflective activities to get into, from a coffin showroom that’s less morbid than you might expect, to family portraits and a reading corner where volunteer grandparents share stories with children. March 13-15. Free. Hall 6, IMPACT Exhibition Center. 9am-7pm

  • Ratchaprasong
Coffee takes a brief holiday as Bangkok turns gloriously green for World Taste of Tea – a gathering that celebrates tea culture in all its forms. Traditional ceremonies lead the show, sitting comfortably beside casual drinks that city crowds currently queue for, offering a curious mix of heritage and modern taste all under one mall ceiling. You can even meet with the iconic  Yerba Mate, the South American favourite now charming wellness devotees across the globe. Meanwhile, matcha specialists arrive from Japan alongside well known cafes from around Thailand, inviting guests to compare earthy notes one cup at a time. Browse the tables for rare leaves, elegant brewing tools and pastries that pair with a cuppa.There’s an air of ‘trade show’ but is delivered more casually than most, where conversation flows as easily as the next carefully prepared pot.  Until March 17. Free. Central World. 10am-10pm

No Time to Die

Release date: October 7

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.
