    (In)visible Presence opens Dib Bangkok with a quiet confidence. Think a painted gust of wind, music shaped by half-remembered summers and the soft trace of herbal medicine lingering longer than expected. The show asks how we hold on to what matters when it cannot be seen, while also nodding to the many people, some now gone, who helped turn this museum from idea to place. Drawn from a collection built across three decades and widened through fresh collaborations, the exhibition gathers 81 works by 40 contemporary artists, several new to Thailand. Sound, scent and light do much of the talking. Across three floors, everyday materials shift, memories blur and imagination fills the gaps. A special focus on Montien Boonma closes the journey, offering space for reflection, healing and a slower way of looking. December 21-August 3 2026. B150-700 via here. Dib Bangkok, 10am-6pm

    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. This edition widens the frame with three connected exhibitions that hint at where Thai photography is heading next. 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

    Asoke’s Mirage feels like a quiet continuation. Following Suggestions, the new works keep worrying at perception, memory and that soft space where certainty slips. Layers of colour drift across the surface, broken by half-seen structures and shapes that suggest buildings without committing to them. Everything appears provisional, as if caught mid-thought. You recognise a form, then doubt yourself a second later. What holds it together is the way the mind gets involved. Marks feel random but never careless, asking the viewer to finish the picture themselves. Paint and ink stack up in thin skins, creating scenes that hover between abstraction and something more familiar. Moving to a larger scale gives these works room to breathe. Standing in front of them feels like walking through a remembered place that refuses to stay still, intimate yet oddly unreachable.   Until January 18 2026. Free. Supples Gallery, 11am-6pm

    Gallery VER’s 20th anniversary lands with a show that feels a bit like opening an old photo album and finding the pages humming. Rirkrit Tiravanija, the gallery’s co-founder, takes on curating duties for The Abyss Is Calling, gathering 47 artists who have shaped its story. The result leans less on nostalgia and more on tuning into the echoes left by two decades of shared rooms, late-night installs and conversations that stayed long after closing time. More than 50 works span painting, sculpture, installation, video and fragments from the archive. Together, they form a kind of collective memory, mapping the relationships between artists, curators, collectors and visitors. Walking through it feels like catching whispers from the past, a reminder of how art spaces hold people as much as objects.   Until January 31 2026. Free. Gallery VER, midday-6pm

    Wandering through the dream diary of someone who has learned to fight their shadows with tenderness. At the centre stands a small warrior in a frog hat and crown, tiptoeing through a fantasy realm filled with creatures that look suspiciously like fear, loneliness and all the pressures we pretend not to feel. Each figure in the gallery acts as a different emotional avatar. Some stride with bold confidence, others soften the room with a quiet steadiness, yet all belong to a game-like world that mirrors how we navigate real life. The whole exhibition plays a bit like earning XP for the soul, charting the tiny victories and setbacks that shape us. Hope flickers throughout, not as a grand gesture but as a steady glow that refuses to disappear.   Until December 27. Free. KICHgallery, 10am-6pm

    This is Takehiro Iikawa’s first official show in Bangkok. His world arrives in two familiar figures: Mr Kobayashi, the pink cat with a talent for mischief, and the Decorator Crab, the artist’s long-running meditation on how we collect pieces of life and wear them as armour. The exhibition threads these characters through drawings packed with sly humour and tiny emotional tremors. Mr Kobayashi drifts through scenes with a shruggy nonchalance, while the crab quietly gathers objects that hint at memories, fears and odd comforts. Together they build a universe shaped by curiosity and gentle absurdity. You wander through it noticing how we all decorate ourselves, hoping the things we carry will say what we cannot quite articulate.   Until December 31. Free. Galerie Monument Songwat, 10am-7pm

    The Suicide Squad

    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.
