Bangkok’s about to get a serious caffeine fix. The city’s first-ever coffee festival is brewing up something far beyond your average morning flat white. Imagine wandering through rows of beans from Colombia, Kenya and Chiang Mai, before meeting the roasters who talk about flavour notes like poets. Over 120 Thai coffee brands and 20 international ones are setting up shop, each promising their version of perfection in a cup. From sunrise ‘Run and Sip’ sessions to a full-blown ‘Coffee Rave Party’ after dark, this isn’t your typical tasting event – it’s a round-the-clock celebration. The Siam Coffee Odyssey will host the PCA Thailand 2025 competition and the Asean Coffee Championship finale, with plenty of free sips, matcha stalls and bakeries worth queuing for. Sleep can wait.
October 8-14. Free. Central World, 10am-10pm
