Le Café des Stagiaires Bangkok turns an ordinary Thursday night into a laid-back chess social, with boards between players and DJs behind decks. The music keeps the room moving without distracting from the games, while the casual set-up makes it easy for concentration to turn into conversation. Test your strategy, meet a stranger or abandon the board for the dancefloor – nobody is keeping score for long.
August 13. Free entry. Le Café des Stagiaires Bangkok. From 7pm
