    Wine connoisseurs can also get down and groovy this festive season at Monsoon Valley on December 20. The gorgeous vineyard, set in the hills 45km to the east of downtown Hua Hin, will host a night of jazz to celebrate Christmas with a local Thai group, The Hua Hin Young Chronicles, and Dutch big band Big to The Future (B2F). ‘The Young Chronicles incorporate Thai traditional instruments into their performances,’ says the winery’s Guido Campigotto. ‘And B2F mixes jazz and pop classics, they always have everyone dancing at the end.’ Live music will run from 6.30pm until 10pm after welcome drinks. The event includes a lavish buffet dinner, free-flow wines and charitable auctions. ‘We try to share the Christmas spirit by working in conjunction with a local charity, Hua Hin Heroes,’ says Campigotto. December 20. B1,990-3,600 via here. Monsoon Valley, 6.30pm-10pm

    Jazz hands will be waving before the surf at the season’s inaugural event, the 19th Hua Hin International Jazz Festival. Originally scheduled for November, the festival was postponed in respect of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.    Organisers say, performers will light up Hua Hin Beach in front of the iconic Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas on December 19 and 20 from 5pm to 11pm each evening.    ‘The event is free admission, no ticket reservation is required,’ festival organiser Jiang informs Time Out before noting that, ‘world-class jazz artists from nine countries’ will perform ‘alongside some of Thailand’s leading jazz musicians.’   International talents include saxophonist and flautist Mitch Frohman from the US; Sydney-born saxophonist and flautist Dale Barlow; Japanese saxophonist and flautist Yuri Kishimoto; and Cuban-born singer, songwriter and producer Lilith Valdés, also known as Lilly.V.    Refreshments will be available from 30 food and drink booths supported by hotels and businesses in the area.   December 19-20. Free. Hua Hin Beach, 5pm-11pm

    Gaggan at Louis Vuitton welcomes the festive season with ‘Winter’s Carol’, an eight-course lunch and 11-course dinner menu running from December through February. Inspired by Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, the experience blends nostalgia, transformation and luxury through progressive Asian storytelling. Highlights include the world map trio, moving from a caviar-topped goat cheese and beetroot salad to a Thai spicy Hokkaido scallop salad and a striking foie gras pavlova. Other signatures explore heritage through a modern lens, from bites of India to purple reigns and the two-part surf-and-turf narrative – a tale of two. Desserts close on playful seasonality with shades of orange and a refined coffee and doughnut finale. It is a polished, imaginative expression of the maison’s festive spirit. Lunch from B8,000 and dinner from B10,000. Reserve via 098 279 5240. Gaggan at Louis Vuitton, LV The Place Bangkok, December-February, 12pm-11pm. Closed Tue-Wed except Dec 16-Jan 7.

    Music in the Park returns after last year’s strong showing, slipping back quietly. As part of Road to BEATFOREST 2026, the Park Edition keeps things relaxed, built for slow afternoons and unhurried listening. Bring a mat, bring a friend, or come alone and let the grass do the work. The soundtrack comes from Krit Morton, RomRom and Suburb Sound, each adding their own shade to the day without demanding attention. It’s the kind of line-up that rewards staying put rather than hopping around. Alongside the music, organisers are giving away small potted plants, a gentle souvenir that feels more thoughtful than merch. Only 200 are available, so timing helps. Mostly, though, it’s an excuse to spend a few hours outdoors, listening together and pretending the week can wait a little longer.   December 20. Free. Near Dog Park entrance, Benchakitti Park, 4pm-7pm

    EMERGE returns for its fourth year, continuing a long-running effort to give new photography voices proper room to be seen. Launched in 2022, the project has already supported over 120 emerging artists, helping them step from classrooms and bedrooms towards galleries and wider audiences.

An open call at BACC pop up invites artists aged 18-25, selected by figures who know the field well. The Editions at HOP Photo Gallery gathers standout thesis work from 2024-2025, full of risk, doubt and fresh perspective. Over at HOP CLUB, a zine showcase celebrates small publications as quiet records of the moment.    December 20-February 22 2026. Free. 2/F, MunMun Srinakarin, 11am-7pm

    Netflix turns Song Wat Road strange in the best possible way with One Last Adventure in Thailand, a free tribute to Stranger Things as the series edges into its final episodes. Each evening from 5pm-10pm, the neighbourhood becomes a walkable love letter to Hawkins. Start at Chaoren Watana Warehouse, refashioned as Castle Byers, complete with the Christmas Light Wall that still raises hairs. Nearby, the I Wanna Bangkok sign flips expectations, while Nurry Chestnut Ice Cream plays double duty as The Palace Arcade and Scoops Ahoy, sailor outfits included. The mood darkens at The Foundry O with Vecna’s Mind Lair, before Sit in Soi delivers Floating Max, unsettling and oddly tender. It all ends at Chang Parking Lot with the WSQK van, a nostalgic farewell to a story that has followed us since 2016.   December 20-28. Free. Song Wat Road, 5-10pm

    For one night only, Foam and Game from Bar Not Found slip behind the bar at Toma Y Toma, promising an evening that feels mischievous in the right way. Known for a cocktail menu built around Pantone shades, the team treats colour as both flavour and feeling. Each drink arrives with its own mood, less about bravado and more about quiet personality. Bar Not Found has built a reputation for playful precision, where technique hides behind charm and nothing feels forced. Expect combinations that surprise without showing off, leaning on texture, temperature and memory rather than gimmicks. Toma Y Toma’s space shifts subtly for the takeover, giving the night a borrowed identity that suits it well. Come curious, stay longer than intended and let the colours do the talking. It is a brief collaboration, but the kind that lingers after the last glass is cleared.   December 20. Free. Toma Y Toma, 8pm onwards

    IFEXPO arrives at year’s end for the first time, wrapped in a theme called ‘Welcome from the Warm Side’. Think winter suggested rather than borrowed, carried through colour, design and a festive mood that feels generous without shouting. The fair works as a gentle hunt for gifts that mean something, from one-off artworks to limited handmade pieces meant for people you actually like. Supporting Thai artists comes baked in rather than announced. This edition brings together work from 834 creators across 1,150 booths each day, drawing a crowd led by young women aged 16 to 30, students and early-career adults with sharp eyes for illustration and Korean-leaning cuteness. Bestsellers skew small and charming: die-cut stickers, pins, postcards, keychains and accessories. Food, desserts, cats, cheeky quotes and wide-eyed girls dominate, familiar enough to smile at, personal enough to take home.   December 20-21. B120-220 at the door. 5/F, Siam Paragon, 10am-8pm

    The Empress and the Dragon’s Lakes arrives for 1 night only, shaping an evening built around voice, ritual and performance that sits somewhere between concert and ceremony. Live music shares space with workshops led by Daniel López, performing as La Emperatriz, alongside Vietnamese performance artist Hoan Doan. Mornings are given over to practice, with vocal ensemble work and body movement sessions running from 9am to midday, before everything gathers again for a 5pm concert. La Emperatriz is López’s musical alter ego, a form grown from years of composition, piano training and touring with alternative rock band Danicattack. Born in Bogotá and trained across Colombia and Barcelona, his work turns towards gender, memory and emotional inheritance. Tarot symbolism threads quietly through the performance, offering something intimate rather than theatrical. Expect an atmosphere that asks for attention, openness and a willingness to feel slightly undone by the end. December 20. B800 for the concert via here and B1,600 for the workshops via here. The Fig Lobby Bangkok. 9pm-midday for the workshops and 5pm to 7pm for the concert.

    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.
