The plan here is refreshingly modest. Step away from the street, find a patch of grass and let the afternoon slow its own pace. The idea is simple enough: Bangkok locals turn up to soften the mood, breathe a little easier and spend time with live music under open skies. Yusu Jazz Band sets the tone, light and generous, good for moving your feet or staying put with a drink as the sun starts to slip. At 4pm, a free beginner swing class welcomes anyone curious, no partner or experience required, just a willingness to try. After that, the lawn becomes a shared living room where people chat, stretch and linger. Everything is free, including the expectation to perform. Comfortable shoes are encouraged, urgency is not. The schedule flows easily, leaving space for the best part, unplanned moments with familiar faces and new ones.
January 10. Free. Rot Fai Park, 4pm onwards
