  • Yaowarat
Chinatown Yacht Club merges New-York grit with Yaowarat charm in a three-floor restored shophouse on Soi Nana, where dim lighting, red lanterns, mirrored walls and bold street-art murals set a sultry tone. The front door glows under Chinese lanterns, the first floor pulses with dive-bar energy and the second hides intimate corners painted by New-York street artist Harif Guzman. Upstairs, the rooftop unfolds as an urban jungle – green foliage, soft lights and city views create a secluded escape above the street bustle. This week the bar offers buy-two-get-one free cocktails until 8pm plus B99 New-York hotdogs all night. Expect great cocktails, easy vibes, a creative playlist and an atmosphere where neon, shadow and good drinks do the talking.Cocktails from B290. Hotdogs B99. Chinatown Yacht Club, Wed-Sat 6pm-1am.

  • Watthana
Ruay Mitr unveils Khao Mun Pla Dee, a new dish created in collaboration with Pla Dee Preeda and built around dry aged Ang Gui fish known for its firm texture and clean natural aroma. Served sizzling in a stone pot alongside grilled fish bone broth and a house made sauce by Chef Phusit Hemwihok, the dish blends Pla Dee Preedas home style depth with Ruay Mitr’s more polished approach. It is meant to be eaten slowly, letting the oils from the fish seep into the rice beneath while the broth adds warmth and umami with every pour. The flavour leans rich, smokey and gently sweet rather than heavy, landing in that space between comfort and craft. Available exclusively at the Ekkamai branch, it stands on the menu as a signature release for diners looking to try something traditional yet thoughtfully modern.Mains from B250. Reserve via @ruaymitr. Ruay Mitr Ekkamai, 11am-midnight

  • Phloen Chit
Penthouse Cocktail Bar at Penthouse Bar + Grill launches a new menu by Head Bartender Fabio Brugnolaro, who not only developed each cocktail but illustrated the menus artwork by hand. The collection blends flavour and design in equal measure, from miang kham with betel leaf juice and miang kham syrup to Ghost Rider with rye whiskey and vermouth and jasmine with gin, lillet rose and mezcal. Each drink draws inspiration from the hotel's art filled interiors, turning the menu into a visual and sensory gallery. Adding to the atmosphere, Spanish vocalist and composer Alba Santos performs live every Wednesday to Sunday from 8pm until late, weaving Latin American rhythm into the city skyline backdrop. It is a refined space for cocktail drinkers who value craft, detail and a little nighttime theatre.Cocktails from B400. Reserve via bkkph.penthouse.reservation@hyatt.com or 02 011 7480.

STOKE lands on Thonglor Soi 6 with a fire-driven kitchen built around twin grills, a Josper charcoal oven and a multi-layer brick firepit designed for clean smokiness and flame-kissed depth in every dish.

Expect wood-fired plates built for sharing and grounded in bold, honest flavour, from blackened brick chicken pressing over charcoal to ricotta gnocchi with chorizo, slow cooked lamb, charred vegetables and spiced apple crumble still warm from the embers. Wines, bourbons and craft beers line the bar in a relaxed drink-as-you-like approach that suits everything from casual dinners to all-out nights with friends.Mains from B250.

  • Phaya Thai
Kitikong Tilokwattanotai’s latest exhibition feels like a conversation across centuries. The artist revisits one of humanity’s earliest canvases, goat parchment, a medium that once held the first flickers of human thought and record. By working with this ancient material, Kitikong bridges the gap between the ancient and the contemporary, layering centuries-old craft with modern printmaking. Etching, one of the oldest printmaking techniques, guides the series. Each incision on the plate negotiates between control and chance, a subtle  dialogue between hand and surface. When transferred onto parchment, the prints carry a quiet tension, permanence brushing against fragility, memory pressed into form. The work lingers somewhere between past and present, inviting viewers to trace the line where history, material, and imagination meet. Until February 6 2026. Free. Archives Design, 11am-6pm

  • Bangkok Noi
Flying Whale gathers seven artists and illustrators for a show that feels like a gentle exhale in a season usually obsessed with glitter and performance. Tum Ulit, faan.peeti, katangg, 2an, May&Clay, Pou Rawiwan and PYH bring fresh pieces shaped by distinct lines and quiet emotional weight, each one building a small world that speaks without fuss. The spark for the exhibition comes from a question many of us try to dodge. In a world addicted to speed and endless self-proof, do we ever get a moment to step back and look at life without treating it like a scoreboard? Beyond Festivity treats Christmas less as spectacle and more as a pause. A pocket of warmth, longing or peace. A brief reminder that feeling alive can be simple and honestly quite soft. Until December 14. Free. 5/F, Central Pinklao, 10am-10pm

  • Silom
Beamcube’s closing week feels a bit like saying goodbye to a friend you only ever met under strobe lights. The final stretch runs from November 27-30, gathering four evenings of rhythm, sweat and the kind of shared mood that makes strangers feel briefly aligned. The line-up leans on the community that shaped the venue, with local crews sharing the stage with Arthi, DITA and MLiR. It’s a rotation that captures the spirit of the place, built on trust, warm faces and an unspoken invitation to stay a little longer. For anyone who has ever found themselves at the Cube, this is the last dance worth showing up for. November 27-30. B300-600 via here. Beamcube, 9pm onwards and 6pm on November 29-30

  • Thonglor
Bangkok’s streets move at their own rhythm, a blend of chaos, charm and ritual that caught the eye of London-based photographer Barry Macdonald. Fascinated by the wai, he began to see it not merely as a greeting but as a cultural language, layered with subtlety and history. His project Sawadee captures this gesture across the city, exploring what it communicates and how it adapts to modern life. In the exhibition, the wai appears in surprising contexts: marking social hierarchy between friends, elders and monks, performing in muay Thai or khon, offering comfort in massage parlours, or appearing in mascots, public signs and LINE stickers. Even as younger generations use it less, the wai remains a quietly potent emblem, a gesture instantly recognisable and deeply entwined with Thai identity. Until December 14 2026. Free. Palette Art Space, 4pm-9pm

Movies now showing

A Quiet Place Part II

Release date: October 1

In this sequel to the nail-biting 2018 hit, we are taken on a flashback to when sound-sensitive aliens first landed on Earth, causing chaos and carnage. In present day, newly widowed mother Evelyn (still brilliantly played by Emily Blunt) now knows the weakness of their extraterrestrial nemeses. She and her children venture out to band with other survivors while dealing with their own traumas.

No Time to Die

Release date: October 7

Daniel Craig’s fifth and last outing as 007 sees the now-retired agent briefly going back into action to chase after yet another mysterious baddie who plans to cause chaos with destructive new technology.

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.
