Ari’s Dip Garden Onsen is Bangkok’s wellness wildcard – part urban oasis, part social sauna club. Tucked behind a leafy façade, the space mixes Japanese-style onsen, cold plunges and heat therapy with yoga, breathwork and lo-fi sound sessions. Every weekend, locals and expats gather for a sesh followed by post-sauna drinks in a cozy garden vibe. Authentic and unpretentious, Dip Garden Onsen doubles as a community hub. No Guru, no grandiose claims – just a place to sweat, soak and reconnect. Whether you're curious about ice baths or just need a thermal reset, Dip Garden Onsen delivers something richer than a spa day – raw relaxation grounded in community and simplicity. Everyday. B500 for weekdays and B750 for weekends via here. Dip Garden Onsen and Ice Bath, 11am onwards

The Sound Charity for the Blind Project at Creative Space

Not all healing needs to be seen to be felt. At Creative Space, this one-night-only sound healing session isn’t just about wellness – it’s about widening access to it. The Sound Charity for the Blind Project is a heart-forward collaboration between Khun Arrissra and @beam_musika, sparked by one simple moment: listening. After engaging with members of the blind community, Khun Arrissra realized that while their sense of sight differed, their response to vibration, tone, and frequency was profoundly intuitive. Together, the duo has shaped a soundscape designed to move inward – stirring memory, emotion and aspiration – with all proceeds supporting access for the blind. It’s not just a charity event. It’s an invitation to feel more, give more and be part of something that resonates far beyond the room. Jun 15. Starts at B500 (donation). Reserve via Line OA @slowcombo. F/3 Creative Space, 6.30pm onwards

Wellness Festival at the Peninsula Bangkok

Health and beauty
CharoennakhonUntil Jun 15, 2025

Most places give you a class. The Peninsula gives you a weekend. For Global Wellness Day, they’re rolling out a three-day festival that feels more like a quiet rebellion against burnout. Mornings kick off with tai chi by the river, or if you’re feeling bold, SUP yoga on water. Want something with bounce? There’s Zumba. Prefer stillness? Try floating meditation. Afternoons shift gears – think sound baths, ice plunges, herbal therapy, and cooking demos where macrobiotic meals meet Michelin calm. It’s not loud. It’s not branded. It’s just well done. Everything is built around one idea: ‘Life Lived Best.’ And here, that means rest, rhythm and remembering what your body actually needs – all while the Chao Phraya quietly flows past. It’s not a spectacle. It’s a reset. The kind you don’t realize you needed until you walk back into the city and feel... like a feather. Jun 13-15. B290-B4,500 via here. The Peninsula Bangkok, 6am onwards

Well-Fest at Dusit Thani Bangkok

SaladaengUntil Jun 15, 2025

A night in a Deluxe Room is just the beginning. The real indulgence is in the rhythm: check in early, ease into a welcome drink with a view at the Sky Lobby, then let the day unfold across movement classes, expert-led workshops, and wellness sessions designed with intention. The programme includes a 60-minute Devarana massage for two, a healthy Thai dinner at Pavilion and access to all Well-Fest activities – from sunrise jog to sound baths. Yet, late check-out (17.30pm) ensures your calm doesn’t end too soon. At every step, Well-Fest redefines what a city hotel can be – not just a place to sleep, but a space to actually ‘feel restored’. Jun 14-15. Reserve via here and 02-200-9000. Dusit Thani Bangkok, 6am onwards

OKONOMI’s June Specials

Things to do
Phloen ChitUntil Jun 30, 2025

Photograph: OKONOMI

The restaurant’s latest seasonal specials arrive like a quiet sigh of relief – bright, comforting, and carefully balanced. The new menu leans into thoughtful simplicity, where each dish feels like a small story told through flavour and texture. Take reen miso salmon teishoku: tender salmon grilled in a miso-basil marinade, accompanied by fresh greens, house pickles and nutty multigrain rice, all rounded off with miso soup. Then there’s ombu-jime scallop chazuke, a delicate in-store exclusive where Hokkaido scallops, cured with kombu, meet grilled onigiri and a warm dashi broth. For dessert, Kinako Mochi Choux offers a golden, crackly crust and a pillowy inside filled with whipped cream and blueberry jam. To wash it down, mango matcha latte blends sweet mango puree with hand-whisked matcha and your choice of milk or oat – earthy and refreshing in equal measure. Jun 1 onwards. OKONOMI, Central Embassy and OKONOMI, Sukhumvit 38

Sense of SCRUBB

Things to do
PrawetUntil Aug 12, 2025

Photograph: scrubb

Scrubb has always been more feeling than formula – music that lingers in the in-between. Sense of SCRUBB is an exhibition that attempts to capture this atmosphere without relying on sound alone. It opens with delicate works on canvas and clay, fragments offered up by artists who’ve sat with the band’s music long enough to translate it visually. Then come the words – short stories and poems penned by fellow musicians, tucked with half-remembered nights and soft melancholies. There’s even a scent, faint and fleeting, crafted to recall melody without needing to name it. Visitors are invited to speak too, to voice what Scrubb stirs in them. But the real question sits quietly behind it all – how do others see this band, and what does that reflection reveal? Intimate, unfussy, the exhibition closes with a casual talk session featuring Ball and Muey, surrounded by the art they inspired without ever having to ask for it. Jun 13-Aug 12. Free. MMAD - MunMun Art Destination, 10.30am-7pm

Ms.Jigger New Italian Lunch Set

Things to do
LangsuanUntil Jun 30, 2025

At Ms.Jigger, lunch isn’t just a break in the day – it’s a curated escape, reimagined through the ‘Pranzo Perfetto’ experience. Let’s begin with the star: weekend lunches. Served from 11:30am to 5:00pm, the set menu is accompanied by a generous spread of free-flow antipasti – an unfiltered celebration of Italian flavor. Expect bruschetta, marinated olives, seabass carpaccio and golden fried dough balls glazed with tomato and anchovy. Focaccia arrives warm and unapologetically indulgent, filled with mortadella and mascarpone. This is a leisurely interlude – a stylish Italian affair that’s perfectly designed to sabotage your dinner plans. Prices start at B950 and B1,050 for the weekend set lunch with antipasti. During the week, weekday lunches offer a shorter, yet no less satisfying, detour into Italian comfort. Served from 11:30am to 2:30pm. Think beef carpaccio with rocket and parmesan, or citrus-cured salmon dotted with balsamic caviar, followed by mains like wagyu fettuccine, wood-fired pizza or a rustic Luganega sausage that hardly needs the side of mash. At B750 for two courses and B850 for three, it’s a surprisingly affordable luxury. Everyday. Starts at B750. Reserve via 02-056-9999 and msjigger.kimptonmaalai@ihg.com or via Line @Ms.Jigger. Ms.Jigger, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, 11.30pm-5pm

Thailand 420

Things to do
ChatuchakUntil Jun 15, 2025

Photograph: Thailand 420 Official

Ten years in, Thailand 420 is taking its final bow – not quietly, but with the kind of chaotic grace only a rooftop in Bangkok could host. It’s a farewell stitched together with basslines, incense trails and the soft shuffle of sandals on concrete. Three stages pulse with conflicting intentions: one leans heavy on the drop, another prefers groove, the last feels like an afterthought until suddenly it isn’t. Between them, there’s a sprawl of stalls offering grilled things on sticks, handmade ashtrays, iced drinks in plastic cups and the occasional conversation that turns unexpectedly philosophical. It’s a celebration, yes, but also a strange little ritual. One last exhale. One long glance back. And somewhere amid the music and haze, a sense that even endings can feel a bit like beginnings – just slightly more bittersweet. Jun 14-15. B890 via here. JJ Mall, 4pm-midnight

Millennials Flex

Art
Phaya ThaiUntil Jun 28, 2025

Photograph: 6060 Arts Space

There’s a certain daring in how Millennials Flex approach the world – bending and breaking the rules not just to rebel but to remake. It’s a mindset that doesn’t just accept pain but wears it like a badge, turning vulnerability into something visible and vital. Old myths, inherited traditions and history aren’t relics to be preserved untouched. Instead, they become raw material, chopped up and stitched into fresh stories that speak to now. It’s an art of reinvention, where mistakes aren’t failures but lessons, and the familiar is endlessly transformed. This isn’t nostalgia or rejection – it's a restless, vibrant conversation with the past, a refusal to be boxed in by what came before and a celebration of what might come next. Until Jun 28. Free. 6060 Arts Space, midday-8pm

MMAD CUBE: What if we had no pronouns?

Art
PrawetUntil Jun 28, 2025

Photograph: MunMun Art Destination

This exhibition quietly refuses to play along. It carves out a space where art exists untethered – free from labels, expectations or neat categories. Five artists handpicked from the Bangkok Illustration Fair bring work that doesn’t just hang on walls but reaches out, using the MMAD CUBE as a playground to blur the line between creator and viewer. Here, the rules are made to be unraveled. It’s a call to see beyond the obvious, to embrace the tangled, vibrant mess of being human without trying to tame it. Like a frame left deliberately unfinished, the show invites us to expand our view of the world – and recognise the rich, unruly spectrum of colour within ourselves. Until Jun 29. Free. MunMun Art Destination, 10.30am-7pm

Movies now showing

Black Widow

Film Frame©Marvel Studios 2020

A Quiet Place Part II

imdb

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.

She and her children venture out to band with other survivors while dealing with their own traumas.

Release date: October 7

No Time to Die

MGM

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

Warner Bros

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.

This latest superhero release follows the story of Shang-Chi, Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first Asian champion, a former martial arts master who has to confront his buried past when the mysterious Ten Rings organization comes after him.
