The best things to do in Bangkok this weekend (July 10-13)

In this series of paintings, the artist doesn’t just sketch fur or bone. They map something else entirely: the unspoken bond between species, the ache of being unseen, the warmth that follows being held. Inspired by animals left behind, these works don’t shout. They murmur. They ask gentle, devastating things – ‘Have I ever been loved?’ – and still, they refuse to accuse. What emerges is not pity, but reverence. A soft insistence that even in ruin, affection remains. 20 percent of the proceeds support The Hope Thailand Foundation. Until July 31. Free. Alexgust Gallery, MMAD at MunMun Srinakarin, 10.30am-9.30pm

One night only, and it might just echo for longer. As part of the SPLASH Soft Power Forum 2025, the hotel showcase turns its spotlight on Nisatiwa – a duo unbothered by genre, reverent yet restless. Thai folk is their starting point, not their boundary. The Saw-Duang weeps alongside synths. The Khaen breathes through distortion. The Phin doesn’t strum – it pulses. It’s not fusion. It’s a reckoning. A conversation between eras, stitched together with feedback and memory. It’s something messier, more urgent. Folklore left to glitch. Sound that remembers where it came from, even as it runs somewhere else. A performance that doesn’t just reinterpret heritage – it dares to rewrite it. July 10. Free. Reserve via here. Bar.Yard, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, 10pm-11pm

It starts with a seed – buried in red soil, nursed by monsoon and mistake – and somehow ends in a paper cup, scalding and perfect. Thailand Coffee Fest doesn’t try to smooth over that journey. Instead, it lays it bare. Organised by the Specialty Coffee Association of Thailand and The Cloud, the festival sprawls across roasters, farmers, baristas, brewers, and those of us who simply drink to stay human. Over 200 names show up – some loud, others quietly cultish – joined by tangents like tea, cocoa, bakery, and a whiff of something fermenting. Talks blur into tastings, competitions get suspiciously tense. But at its core, this isn’t about caffeine. It’s about connection. Between soil and hand, process and ritual. Coffee as labour. Coffee as love. A drink, yes. But also, a shared language.  July 10-13. Free. Impact Exhibition Centre, Halls 5-8, 10am-8pm

For one weekend, the backstreets breathe again. There are ghost walkshops that feel like memory dressed up in shadow, art talks that blur into therapy, and work walkshops that ask what it means to create beside water that remembers more than we do. This isn’t just urban renewal. It’s a slow reclaiming – of space, of self, of stories that never made it onto plaques. The canal isn’t a backdrop. It’s the collaborator. And maybe, just maybe, it’s listening. July 11-13. Free. Register via here. Ong Ang Canal, 4pm-8pm

The return of the flea market at the Warehouse Talad Noi, where everything feels slightly sunburnt and strangely alive. And it's messier, hungrier. Koji’s grilling things that smell like childhood if you grew up near soy sauce and smoke. WAGRill’s handing out steak like it’s a dare. Friesday does chips with the swagger of a food truck that knows it’s the main character. But it’s not just about eating. Aeaea Studios brings objects that might haunt your flat in the best way. THE WORN reads like a wardrobe raid from someone cooler than you. Madas Grocery Store is – well, Madas. Strange and perfectly so. Nothing quite matches, yet somehow it all fits. The kind of market you leave with stories, not receipts. July 11-12. Free. The Warehouse Talad Noi, 4pm onwards 

There are artists who write, and then there’s Tang Chang – Bangkok-born, Sino-Thai, who dissolved the boundary altogether. For Chang, language wasn’t a tool so much as a presence, flickering somewhere between gesture and breath. At Calligraphic Abstraction, now at Bangkok Kunsthalle, his paintings refuse to be pinned down. Made between 1971 and 1972 – two blisteringly productive years – the works occupy a space where script becomes spirit, and symbols resist being named. Characters hover on the brink of recognition, echoing Chinese forms but never settling into clarity. Others mimic the cadence of poetry, stripped of words but still pulsing with rhythm. There’s a sort of devotion in it – though not to meaning. The line itself becomes the prayer, trembling between what can be read and what can only be felt. Until July 13. Free. Bangkok Kunsthalle, 6pm-8pm

Some dinners aren’t meals so much as murmurs – memories half-remembered, translated into texture and temperature. Chai Jia Chai plays host to Chef Naka Xiong and Head Sommelier Lesley Liu of Odette, that precise, three-starred cathedral of French technique nestled in Singapore’s National Gallery. But here, in the hush of Bangkok, the pair conjure something else entirely. Think Manchu-Han banquet by way of Burgundy, with ingredients that feel smuggled from another century. The menu reads like a dream folded into lacquered pages: brittle, delicate, slightly untranslatable. Over two nights, cuisine becomes conversation. July 12-13. Starts at B16,800. Reserve via 093-117-1909. Chai Jia Chai, 6.30pm onwards

Nicolás Etorena plays like someone raised on static and soul. A vinyl devotee from Uruguay’s new school of DJs, his sets are less playlists than time travel – sliding between house, techno and their many mutations with a precision that feels lived-in, not forced. You won’t find gimmicks or grandstanding here, just deep cuts and deeper intention. He’s a regular at Uruguay’s key dance outposts – Phonotheque, No Way Back, Saturno – where late nights often stretch into something more tender. Crowds in Brazil, Chile and Argentina have already caught on. Now, it's Bangkok's turn. Sharing the booth are local selectors Jakrin and Jirus, both known for threading the line between euphoria and restraint. July 12. B300-500 via here and B700 at the door. Bar Temp., 9pm onwards

Suburb Sound returns with a new Noise Axe edition that feels less like a night out, more like a collective exhale. 12 DJs. Two rooms. One warehouse that’s seen enough sweat to qualify as sacred. Blaqlyte Rover hosts, but the gravitational pull is Nativesun – flown in from Washington DC, orbiting under the Black Rave Culture banner. His sets don’t ask questions. They answer them, in basslines and breakbeats, Jersey club chopped against house so fast it feels like your heart skipped on purpose. July 12. B300-400 via here and B500 at the door. Blaqlyte Rover, 9pm onwards

Based in Tokyo but wired into scenes far beyond it, she’s spent the better part of two decades shaping sets that slide between grace and grit. One moment soft as silk, the next spiked with something primal. From her residency at Hong Kong Community Radio to the launch of Eustress – her own sonic playground – she’s built a world where the DJ booth is more confession than performance. Her Boiler Room Tokyo set in 2024 wasn’t just a peak, it was a portal – linking late nights in Shibuya to basements across the globe. Still rooted in Tokyo, still restless. In Bangkok, she’s flanked by Genji and Sriracha Czaddy, local disruptors with low-end tendencies and high-proof charm. Expect elegance, then impact. July 12. B400 via here and B600 at the door. BEAM, 9pm onwards 

Grief doesn’t arrive with answers. It lingers, shapeless and slow, stretching hours into something unfamiliar. In this quiet, deliberate space, sorrow isn’t a wound to conceal but a landscape to walk through – cautiously, without urgency. Here, pain isn’t romanticised. It’s examined. The artist maps the terrain between collapse and repair, using canvas, steel, wood – materials that refuse to flinch. Human forms are bent, fragmented, almost blurred out. Objects warp. Landscapes ache. Oil paintings sit beside finely carved panels and cold metal surfaces, as if to remind us that emotion, too, can take form. It’s not about healing in the usual sense. More like learning to live beside the weight. To let loss reshape how we see, without demanding we move on. Some beauty asks nothing. It simply stays. Until August 31. Free. MMAD at MunMun Srinakarin Alexgust Gallery, 10.30am-9.30pm

We like to think we’re in charge. That materials yield, that objects sit still until we say otherwise. But in this quietly unsettling series, plastic plays the lead. Heat-pressed and layered without brush or pigment, the works imitate landscape – clouds, coastlines, meadows – but it’s the plastic itself doing the talking. Its texture, tint and surface are left intact, unpredictable. The artist doesn’t command so much as collaborate, allowing the material to behave on its own terms. There’s something eerie about it. Familiar forms lure you in – pretty, even pastoral – until you notice the imprint of packaging, the echo of something disposable that refuses to vanish. The illusion fractures. Plastic, once obedient, now lingers, insists, performs. And we, the audience, are left to reckon with a world where the artificial no longer takes instruction. It simply stays. Until August 2. Free. Warin Lab Contemporary, 10.30-7.30pm

It’s not Broadway, but for a night, it might feel like it. The Showhopper teams up with Lido Connect to stage – where showtunes don’t just echo, they unfold. Expect the classics: Wicked, Hadestown, Les Misérables, Phantom, Chicago – that familiar crescendo of heartbreak, hope and high notes. But look closer and there’s more. Tucked between the obvious are those underloved ‘Side B’ numbers, songs that rarely see light yet hit like secrets. Four performers take the stage, not just to belt, but to speak. Stories slip between the verses – of auditions survived, wigs lost mid-spin, of making theatre in a country where the spotlight still flickers. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence. The kind that turns chorus lines into lifelines. July 12. B1,800-2,500 via here. Lido Connect, 2pm and 7.30pm

Once a printing house, now a memory pressed between tiled floors and wooden stools – this exhibition remembers Thai Wattana Panich not just as a building, but as a beating heart of knowledge production. Tucked in the centre of Bangkok, it served as a quiet engine of authority, where language wasn’t simply used but standardised. Today, the show asks what happens when the direction shifts – when words don’t trickle down from textbooks, but bubble up from tweets, slang and subtitled memes. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s about power, who holds it, and who gets to redefine it. In one room, a narrow reading space mirrors cramped living quarters. Visitors must squat to read. It’s a subtle nod to who language once excluded, and who now rewrites the rules from the bottom up. There are games, too. Of course. Until Aug 17. Free. Bangkok Kunsthalle, 2pm-8pm

Have you ever looked at yourself mid-week, mid-thought, mid-life, and wondered – when did I become this? Not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet, slow-burn way things shift. Skin turns over. Hair greys. The favourite mug chips, then becomes more beloved for it. That’s the pulse of WERDIN, an exhibition less about ceramics than it is about metamorphosis. The artist doesn’t seem interested in permanence. Instead, they prod at what happens when things are in flux – how clay can’t always say what needs saying. So they borrow other languages. A gleam of steel here, a crack there. Not mistakes, but evidence. Until August 9. Free. La Lanta Fine Art, 10am-7pm

There’s a curious magic in stepping back millions of years – a chance to wander a world before ours, where giant creatures roamed freely. This event offers just that: an immersive trek alongside Thai dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts, as if the clock has unwound to a forgotten era. Each step pulls you deeper into a landscape shaped by colossal terrestrial rulers, their shadows still lingering in the imagination. It’s less a simple exhibition and more a portal to ancient earth, where awe and curiosity collide. For anyone who’s ever been fascinated by the primeval, this is an invitation to experience wonder unfiltered – a rare glimpse of a world lost but never forgotten. July 1-November 2. B150-350 at the door. Museum Pier, 10am-6pm

Print is back – bold, messy and everywhere. This year’s festival lands in Bangkok with the quietly subversive theme: ‘Printing is everywhere’. Think less gallery, more street corner. Organised by GroundControl and PPP Studio, the event swaps exclusivity for ink-stained hands and shared space. Expect everything from striking wall pieces to tiny treasures, plus a special showcase pairing ten artists with ten print studios – each bringing their own twist. After Chiang Mai’s turn in 2022, Bangkok now gets to press, pull and smudge its way in. There’ll be weekend workshops too, perfect for anyone keen to roll up sleeves and give it a go. July 4-15. Free. Central Chidlom, 4pm-10pm

Tomoaki Murayama doesn’t draw animals, he conjures them. In his first solo exhibition in Thailand, the Japanese artist offers a quiet kind of magic – dense, monochrome worlds where owls share space with octopuses, where roots tangle with antlers, and where the line between things blurs into something softer. Born in Kyoto, Murayama takes the forest not just as subject but as philosophy: an ecosystem without borders, where everything touches everything else, eventually. His drawings – intricate to the point of near obsession – reward slowness. What first appears decorative reveals layers, like moss on bark or veins in a leaf. The sculptures feel like those same lines, suddenly upright and breathing. Even the gallery space resists separation. Creatures perch near eye level, tucked into corners, watching. It’s not just an exhibition. It’s a quiet argument against division. Until July 18. Free. Art Focus Bangkok, Rivercity Bangkok, 10am-8pm

This exhibition unfolds around the simple phrase ‘side by side’ – a meditation on the selves we are and the ones we might have been. At its heart is Mr. Halfman, a storyteller from a parallel universe, weaving tales where opposites don’t clash but converse, where different choices exist in harmony. It’s less about regret and more about curiosity – an invitation to wander these twin worlds, to embrace moments of joy, calm and connection. In this space between what is and what could have been, we find room to breathe, to love and to live entirely on our own terms. July 5-27. Free. GalileOasis Gallery, 10am-7pm

Rebirth rarely arrives with fanfare. More often, it smoulders quietly – like ash cooling after fire, or something green pushing up through scorched soil. At TAY Songwat, spread across the second and third floors, an interactive 4D exhibition leans into this quiet insistence on beginning again. Rooted in the aftermath of destruction, the work draws from wildfires – unruly, raw – and the complex part humans play in both their ignition and their healing. But this isn’t a lecture in disguise. It’s intimate, unsettling, occasionally tender. Two major installations invite the body in, while video guides offer something closer to a conversation than instruction. Hope is there, just not in pastel. It’s in the invitation to reflect, to return to something elemental, and maybe – just maybe – to begin again, even if it’s only with a thought. Until July 20. Free. TAY Songwat, 9.30am-5.30pm

50 years on, the James H. W. Thompson Foundation isn’t celebrating so much as excavating. In a region where war never fully ends – just recedes, reshapes – this exhibition gathers 13 international artist collectives to unpick the Cold War’s quieter aftermath. Spread across four venues – the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, William Warren Library, Jim Thompson House Museum and Jim Thompson Art Centre. Not the chest-thumping headlines, but what lingered: the unease, the absences, the memories that don’t quite sit still. Here, history isn’t recited but felt. Each work unearths personal, often peripheral stories that slip through the cracks of official accounts. The result is a constellation of perspectives – messy, emotional, unresolved. Across painting, video and installation, the pieces gesture towards grief, survival and the strange elasticity of memory. A reminder that what we inherit isn’t just fact, but feeling. And sometimes, fiction is closer to the truth. Until July 6. Free. Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, William Warren Library, Jim Thompson House Museum and Jim Thompson Art Centre.

CRAFT doesn’t serve meals so much as curate moods. Tucked inside Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, this all-day refuge operates on its own tempo – where a burrata-loaded toast feels just as right at 9am as it does at noon. Breakfast isn’t a time slot here, it’s a mindset. The menu meanders from bacon-draped French toast to Thai seafood porridge that lands somewhere between comfort and ceremony. For those in pursuit of chlorophyll, there’s a smoothie bowl so green it feels almost virtuous – kale, mango, spinach, all spun together with the quiet insistence of health. But indulgence lives here too. Tofu and tempeh arrive with chilli peanut sauce, a sort of soft rebellion for the plant-based crowd. Burgers come double-smashed, wraps are generously stuffed, and yes, there’s lobster – perched Waldorf-style, open-faced, unapologetic. Gluten-free options appear, if you ask nicely. Come Friday and Saturday evening, the space slips into a new rhythm with live DJs spinning laid-back grooves as daylight fades. Every day. Reserve via 02-056-9999 and craft.kimptonmaalai@ihg.com or via Line @craftbkk. CRAFT, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, 7am-11pm    

It’s a quiet panic that comes with growing older – not just the creaky knees or the birthday candles multiplying like bacteria, but the silence around it. Coming of Aging, an experiential exhibition by Eyedropper Fill, doesn’t try to soothe that discomfort. Instead, it invites you to sit with it. Think less anti-ageing cream, more existential unpacking. Through three immersive zones, visitors are nudged to consider ageing not as a decline, but as a shift – inevitable, complex and deeply human. In a world obsessed with FOMO (the fear of missing out), a subtler fear creeps in: FOGO, the fear of getting old, now bubbling up in Gen Z timelines and TikTok laments. This exhibition doesn’t offer neat resolutions. But it does ask the question we tend to avoid: what if ageing isn’t the enemy, but just another way of becoming? Until July 16. Free. River City Bangkok, 10am-8pm

By the time Friday limps to a close, The Mesh on Sukhumvit 22 has already started to hum. Not with the polite clink of cutlery or background jazz, but with live voices – raw, melodic, sometimes heartbreaking, occasionally euphoric. Each week, the space shapeshifts into something looser and louder, as solo artists and acoustic duos take their place beneath the warm spill of lights. The soundtrack drifts from indie originals to bittersweet covers, filtered through the kind of intimacy only a small venue allows. You’re invited to nurse a cold brew from their Best Brews list, pick at something smoky or fried, and stay longer than you planned to. It’s not groundbreaking, and that’s the point. It’s familiar in a way that feels grounding. A soft exhale after the week. A room full of strangers mouthing the same chorus. Something to look forward to. Every Friday. Reserve via here or 02-262-0000. The Mesh, Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok, 7pm onwards

Between 1991 and 1996, Tawatchai Somkong was quietly crafting a visual language all his own. His 16 chosen art books, culled from a wider archive of 23, capture a world of symbolic abstraction born during his studies at Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan, India. The exhibition unfolds like a whispered dialogue between faiths, where religious icons collide and merge in unexpected ways. Over 2,000 images map a journey of beauty and belief, revealing the artist’s deep spiritual reckoning. It’s less a straightforward show and more an immersive meditation on identity, faith and the power of symbols to shape our inner landscapes – a haunting visual hymn to complexity and devotion. Until July 13. Free. Blacklist Gallery, 10am-4pm

At Ms.Jigger, lunch isn’t just a break in the day – it’s a curated escape, reimagined through the ‘Pranzo Perfetto’ experience. Let’s begin with the star: weekend lunches. Served from 11:30am to 5:00pm, the set menu is accompanied by a generous spread of free-flow antipasti – an unfiltered celebration of Italian flavor. Expect bruschetta, marinated olives, seabass carpaccio and golden fried dough balls glazed with tomato and anchovy. Focaccia arrives warm and unapologetically indulgent, filled with mortadella and mascarpone. This is a leisurely interlude – a stylish Italian affair that’s perfectly designed to sabotage your dinner plans. Prices start at B950 and B1,050 for the weekend set lunch with antipasti. During the week, weekday lunches offer a shorter, yet no less satisfying, detour into Italian comfort. Served from 11:30am to 2:30pm. Think beef carpaccio with rocket and parmesan, or citrus-cured salmon dotted with balsamic caviar, followed by mains like wagyu fettuccine, wood-fired pizza or a rustic Luganega sausage that hardly needs the side of mash. At B750 for two courses and B850 for three, it’s a surprisingly affordable luxury. Everyday. Starts at B750. Reserve via 02-056-9999 and msjigger.kimptonmaalai@ihg.com or via Line @Ms.Jigger. Ms.Jigger, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, 11.30pm-5pm

Scrubb has always been more feeling than formula – music that lingers in the in-between. Sense of SCRUBB is an exhibition that attempts to capture this atmosphere without relying on sound alone. It opens with delicate works on canvas and clay, fragments offered up by artists who’ve sat with the band’s music long enough to translate it visually. Then come the words – short stories and poems penned by fellow musicians, tucked with half-remembered nights and soft melancholies. There’s even a scent, faint and fleeting, crafted to recall melody without needing to name it. Visitors are invited to speak too, to voice what Scrubb stirs in them. But the real question sits quietly behind it all – how do others see this band, and what does that reflection reveal? Intimate, unfussy, the exhibition closes with a casual talk session featuring Ball and Muey, surrounded by the art they inspired without ever having to ask for it. June 13-August 12. Free. MMAD - MunMun Art Destination, 10.30am-7pm

In his latest offering, Udom Taephanich – long known for saying too much with a single raised eyebrow – turns his attention to the strange erosion of play. Not the type sold in boxes, but the kind we used to conjure instinctively, when sofa cushions became castles and questions came without hesitation. Back then, imagination was a birthright. We made monsters out of scribbles, entire worlds from cardboard. Then came the invisible border called adulthood, where mistakes became shameful and joy needed justification. A reminder that the real decay isn’t physical – it’s forgetting how to be ridiculous without apology. And maybe, just maybe, it’s reversible. June 7-August 3. B250-850 via here. The Pinnacle Hall, ICONSIAM, 11am-9pm

This exhibition wants you to look – and keep looking. This is portraiture unraveled, pulled from its classical moorings and reassembled in ways that feel both intimate and estranged. There’s weight and symmetry in works by André Schulze and Lino Lago – nods to tradition, to balance, to the stillness of oil and time. But that’s only one side of the mirror. Celio Koko splinters the form, pulling it towards something more elastic. Adriana Oliver and Chance Cooper remove the face altogether, offering blankness as a kind of truth, or at least a provocation. What does it mean to be seen now? Between digital noise and emotional residue, the exhibition sketches an answer. Or maybe just a question, blurred at the edges, like memory itself. May 30-July 30. Free. Agni Gallery, 10am-7pm

To mark the 20th anniversary of Naruto, 54 Entertainment, in partnership with SL Experiences, presents Naruto The Gallery – an immersive exhibition that invites fans to explore the intertwined fates of Naruto and Sasuke. With seven meticulously curated zones, visitors journey through key moments, from their childhood in Konoha to their fated reunion during the Fourth Great Ninja War. The exhibition is not just a walk down memory lane, though. It showcases original storyboards, character designs and unforgettable anime scenes that reveal the heart of the series. Highlights include a stunning diorama of Hidden Leaf Village, a tribute to iconic quotes and an exclusive collaboration with five emerging Japanese artists. It’s a celebration of the anime’s legacy, full of surprises for fans both old and new. May 31-July 31. B250-450 via here. Free for kids below four years old. River City Bangkok, 10am-8pm

The potholes weren’t metaphorical, though they might as well have been. In Tada Hengsapkul’s latest work, a simple journey home becomes a quiet reckoning – with governance, with memory, with the steady erosion of what should have been maintained. The rutted streets of Bangkok aren’t just inconvenient. They’re symptomatic. Each jolt and swerve calls back the artist’s past trips along Mittraphap Road, the so-called ‘Friendship Highway’, once a Cold War-era gift from America, now a conduit for uneven development stretching from capital to countryside. Here, infrastructure acts as both a relic and reminder – of broken systems and promises that never quite held. What begins as a personal moment unfolds into something far wider, asking not what progress looks like, but whom it truly serves. Not everything built was meant to last. May 17-July 13. Free. Hop Photo Gallery, MunMun Srinakarin, 11am-7pm

Breathe in the slow burn of New Orleans. There’s something unrushed, almost stubborn, in the way Ms. Asta’s New Orleans lets her swing simmer. The kind of jazz that doesn’t ask to be heard so much as lived in. Her rhythm rolls like heat down Chartres Street, deliberate and dusky, clinging to the corners of the room. New Orleans cuisine, with its sacred mess of flavour, doesn’t need elevation – just the right soundtrack. And hers isn’t background music. It’s a second course. A hush falls between bites, not from reverence, but recognition. This is how the city feeds you: slowly, thoroughly, and always with music on its breath. Every Friday. Reserve via 062-141-6549 or tinassathorn.com, Tina's Sathorn, 7.30pm-9.15pm (live jazz)

This immersive, interactive digital art exhibition themed "Nature and Wildlife" highlights the beauty of ecosystems and biodiversity through advanced techniques like projection mapping, laser art and high-quality media. Spread across nine rooms at King Power Mahanakon, each space presents a distinctive experience reminiscent of a fantastical zoo. Notable features include the Kaleidoscope zone, enveloped in a variety of flowers that serve as food for butterflies; a laser projection room showcasing the majesty of predators; and an interactive underwater world. Youngsters can also enjoy a colouring activity and have their creations appear on the walls. A special surprise awaits with the appearance of Moo Deng, the famous pygmy hippopotamus from Khao Kheow Zoo, who awaits in different rooms to delight you. Until July 31. B350 via here and B1,000-1,200 including the Sky Walk via here. Fourth floor, King Power Mahanakon, 10am-9pm

This exhibition brings a fresh approach to addressing the mental health challenges faced by many in Thailand. It creates a therapeutic space that blends digital art with engaging sensory elements such as light, colour, sound and touch. The focus is on the connection between the body and mind–acknowledging the importance of physical sensations in managing emotions. The exhibition focuses on the psychological concept of 'self-compassion', encouraging the audience to reflect on their well-being and mental state. Until July 12, 2025.  B200 via here. 2nd floor, MMAD at MunMun Srinakarin, 11am-8pm
