    Anantara Mai Khao unveils a full trilogy of coastal dining this season with the redesigned Sea Fire Salt leading the charge. The beachfront restaurant returns with a sharper flame-grilled identity: line-caught local seafood, premium steaks and finishing salts sourced from around the world. Dishes arrive seared over smoking charcoal and served on Himalayan salt bricks, letting guests choose their perfect finish while the bricks naturally deepen flavour. Mediterranean sharing plates, signature sushi and grill-forward classics set the tone for relaxed, sunlit lunches and atmospheric evenings framed by the Andaman sky. The relaunch also introduces Chef Jonas Werner, formerly of The Mandarin Oriental, whose refined techniques and globally inspired touches elevate both the grill and Japanese menus. Sea Fire Salt joins Vayu, the resort’s rooftop cocktail sanctuary, and Infinity, its relaxed poolside venue, forming a trio of dining experiences anchored in air, fire and sea. Prices vary. Reservations via anantara.com/mai-khao-phuket. Sea Fire Salt, daily hours vary.

    Anantara Hua Hin returns just in time for the year’s end with a full transformation that updates the brand’s first-ever resort for a new era. The December reopening reveals redesigned rooms and suites, an expanded beachfront, refreshed pools and a sharper, more contemporary interpretation of its original Thai-village inspiration. The main pool now sits within a lush oasis of towering palm trees, with new lounging decks that drift into the sea-facing landscape. Families get more room to roam thanks to an upgraded lagoon pool and bar, a reimagined kids’ club with creative play zones and the new mini farm, home to silkie chickens, pygmy goats and peacocks. Active travellers can get stuck into Muay Thai, pickleball, rock climbing and more at the revitalised sports zone. Dining also steps forward with renewed venues including Sea Fire Salt for prime cuts and seafood on Himalayan salt slabs, Rim Nam for bold Thai flavours and Issara Cafe for bright, breezy mornings. A polished reboot for one of Hua Hin’s most iconic beachfront escapes. Prices vary. Reservations via anantara.com/hua-hin. Anantara Hua Hin Resort, daily hours vary.

    Nattan Kongmalikankaew’s solo show leads viewers through a spiritual terrain where the outside world and the inner mind meet, blurring the line between what is real and what is imagined. The paintings linger on that uneasy feeling of meeting the unfamiliar, the kind of uncertainty most of us would rather ignore. Part of what makes this exhibition so striking is how far his work has travelled. Earlier pieces from 2020 to 2021 focused on the human body caught in states of pressure and private struggle. Now nature takes centre stage, not as scenery but as a character with its own motives. These environments hold memory and identity in their folds, becoming mirrors for forces we can sense but never fully name. December 7-January 11 2026. Free. Joyman Gallery, 11am-6pm

    Movie nights are getting a small glow-up at the event plaza outside Central Chaengwattana. You settle into your seat, slip on headphones and let the outside world blur while a film lights up the night. The programme leans on classics, the kind that age well enough to be watched beneath an open sky without losing their charm. The breeze does half the work, adding its own sort of soundtrack as the scenes unfold. It feels wonderfully low pressure, almost like watching a favourite film in a friend’s garden but with better equipment. A simple plan for an easy evening, especially when you want something gentle after a long day.   December 12-14. Free. To reserve your seat, please contact the Central Chaengwattana Facebook page via Inbox. Central Chaengwattana, 6pm

    Photograph: Stephff
    Stephff’s new exhibition feels like stepping into the mind of someone who treats creativity as a spiritual errand rather than a profession. He carries this idea that we are the universe observing itself and that making art is a way of touching a higher layer of our own consciousness. The thought came to him while collecting tribal works and wondering how communities dismissed as primitive could create with such instinctive brilliance. He sees the same raw force in outsider artists and in children before the world trains them into dullness. His process leans on a meditative state, the moment he stops thinking and lets a quieter intelligence steer the work. The title becomes a nod to this belief, a thank you to whatever guides his hand, with a wink for the atheists in the room.   Until December 14. Free. Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, 10am-8pm

    In this quiet room, Tat Nattee lets you meet a group of children the world rarely pauses to understand. The project extends his Albino Kids series, which he has shaped across two years with a patience that feels almost parental. Each child is born under a spotlight they never asked for, forced to navigate sharp light and stranger’s eyes long before they learn their own wants. Nattee refuses to paint them as fragile. He treats them as thinkers, architects of their inner landscapes. Their strength comes not from performance but from the small decisions that build a sense of self. They do not retreat. They construct a private realm that belongs only to them, a place untouched by expectation.   December 7-January 11 2026. Free. Joyman Gallery, 11am-6pm

    Picture this as a rare little detour from the week, the kind you only hear about through a friend who knows where the good stuff hides. A World Barista Championship semi-finalist hosts a tasting session that feels part masterclass, part gentle obsession. Three courses guide you through their craft. First comes an espresso made with Panama Geisha from Janson Estate, a coffee so clean it almost behaves like perfume. Then a milk beverage that softens the sharper edges without stealing the character. It ends with a signature creation built from Thai Geisha, layered with the sort of precision competitors lose sleep over. It’s not flashy or performative, just a chance to sit close to someone who treats coffee like a language and lets you listen.   December 11-12. B2,200. Reserve via 061-496-6978 or IG: rosetta.conceptstore.bkk. Slowcombo, 11.30am-12.30pm, 12.30-1.30pm and 2.30-3.30pm

    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.
