    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

    Photograph: For Your Pleasure
    Connection is rarely tidy and almost never quiet, which is precisely why this exhibition lingers in the mind long after you leave it. Spread across the room are 74 photographs shaped by the eyes of 30 photographers and the steady hands of 20 riggers Each image holds a moment where bodies, wires and emotion collide. The pictures move between tenderness and strain, showing how intimacy can sharpen or soften depending on the angle. Some frames feel like overheard confessions, others resemble scenes from a play that never made it to stage. Together they form a study of human expression that refuses to settle for easy sentiment. Instead the show leans toward tension as a kind of truth, suggesting that connection is born as much from friction as it is from comfort. Until November 30. Free. Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, 10am-8pm

    Central Chidlom has decided to suspend reality for a moment and turn its ground floor into something resembling a spell gone slightly rogue. For a short run, the space becomes a portal to the world of Wicked: For Good, inviting visitors to wander through a virtual reconstruction of scenes that once belonged only to cinema screens and fan forums. Elphaba and Glinda reappear as if mid-conversation, their long-tangled histories rendered in glowing detail that feels both theatrical and strangely intimate. The installation ends with the film’s sweeping conclusion, a final gesture that slips between spectacle and sentiment, leaving you unsure where the illusion stops. Until November 30. Free. Central Chidlom, 10am-10pm

    Alexander Coke Smith VI returns to Bangkok with a quietly mesmerising exhibition tucked inside the ground floor of Warehouse Talat Noi. The space, usually a corridor of clang and concrete, softens under the presence of his miniature cities. Old Bangkok appears in careful relief, its wooden shopfronts and crooked alleys reconstructed with near monastic patience. Other historic towns emerge beside it like half-remembered dreams, each model a reminder that urban memory can be held in the palm of a hand. Smaller works, brought to the capital for a brief showing before slipping back to the artist’s island studio, add a sense of fleeting intimacy. The result is an intricate and unexpectedly tender survey of craft and imagination that invites curiosity from every age. Until November 27. Free. The Warehouse Talat Noi. Check the schedule here.

    KYLA Gallery's latest gathering brings together five artists who've each built entire universes around their original characters. The Character Club transforms the gallery space into a proper social hangout for creations that exist somewhere between cartoon boldness, quirky personality studies and those dreamlike companions who feel weirdly familiar even though you've definitely never met them before. Each artist speaks through their own visual language and storytelling approach, creating what's essentially a lively lounge filled with humour, nostalgia and genuine wonder. It's playful, pop-culture-soaked and refreshingly unpretentious about celebrating imagination in all its human (and decidedly not-so-human) forms. Every character here carries their own backstory, waiting for you to wander over and strike up a conversation. November 7-December 7. Free. KYLA Gallery, 3pm-midnight

    Arin Rungjang's solo project starts with Thong Yod – those traditional Thai golden drops – and spins them through sculpture and film until they become something altogether more questioning. What begins as dessert transforms into a meditation on how we remember, how culture shifts and how history's so-called truths often deserve a proper interrogation. Golden teardrops hang suspended like falling rain throughout the exhibition, whilst stories from distant lands flow together in ways that blur boundaries between past and present. It's essentially about the fluidity of narrative – how memories from different eras can suddenly converge and reshape our understanding of what actually happened. Rungjang's work asks you to reconsider the weight of time itself, using something as humble as a sweet treat to unlock bigger questions about cultural inheritance and collective memory.  Until February 15, 2026. B300 at the door. MOCA Bangkok, 10am-6pm

    Sauce's latest exhibition picks apart the performance we all put on daily – that carefully curated smile, the ‘good person’ act we maintain to meet societal expectations, the emotional mask we wear because power structures demand it. His works treat the smile not as genuine happiness but as a shield concealing suffocated feelings and identities crushed by systems that control both body and mind. Building on his 2023 solo show Exoskeleton, which examined the concept of Body under Body – essentially the shell encasing your true self – this series pushes further. What happens when orchestrated expression becomes so automatic you forget what's real? When politeness transforms from choice to survival mechanism? Sauce's pieces force you to confront how we've all become masters at performing emotions on command, smiling through gritted teeth whilst our actual selves remain buried beneath layers of social conditioning. Uncomfortable viewing, perhaps, but bracingly honest. Until November 30. Free. Joyman Gallery, 11am-6pm

    Pnk.ff's second solo exhibition celebrates everything we usually try to sweep under the rug – the fumbles, the messes, the moments when life doesn't quite go to plan. Rather than hiding these beautifully awkward bits of being human, the artist drags them out and gives them proper gallery treatment. What you'll find here are personal, clumsy snapshots transformed through playful and humorous artworks that feel refreshingly honest. It's essentially an invitation to laugh at your own stumbles whilst recognizing that these wonky moments are what make ordinary stories genuinely memorable. Because let's be real, some days simply refuse to go smoothly, and often it's precisely those off-kilter experiences that stick with us longest. Until December 27. Free. KICH Ari Space, midday-7pm

    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.
