Lobbyist Bar – Chiang Mai's desert oasis bar with walls in warm beige, orange and purple hues – is hosting a painting night this Friday and the setup is hard to argue with. Entry includes a canvas, one signature cocktail of your choice and a live DJ spinning throughout the evening. The setting does a lot of the heavy lifting before you've even picked up a brush, making you feel like you're painting under a cool desert night sky somewhere far from Nimman. Only 20 seats available so book ahead and come with a rough idea of what you want to paint – or don't, and let the night take you as it happens.
May 22. B899 per person. To book call 053 400 567. Lobbyist Bar. From 8pm onwards
