Experimental acoustic frequencies, immersive ambient synths, and multimedia staging take over the BACC Studio floor in a boundary-pushing multidisciplinary weekend showcase.

Somkiat 'Joke' Pairojmahakij's sleek dining hall near Rajadamnern Stadium turns out 48-hour fermented sourdough pizzas blistered with spicy nduja, paired with biodynamic orange wines and beef carpaccio.

Bangkok's monumental 5th Art Biennale opens this month across 11 riverside temples, BACC, and heritage venues, featuring 200 contemporary works tackling spirituality, technology, and city mythologies.

When monsoon humidity settles outside, head inside for fiery dry curry minced pork, pungent sator beans stir-fried with river prawns, and iced lemongrass tea served in a polished heritage room.

Mid-century Danish chairs, vintage vinyl crates, and antique Thai signage pack an atmospheric former riverside tobacco warehouse alongside wood-fired pizza and natural wine.

A whimsical augmented reality installation inside One Bangkok that sends visitors on an interactive trail tracking down animated forest spirits and cosmic guardians via your smartphone.

Drive 90 minutes southwest through coconut groves to sleep in a stilted teak homestay on the Mae Klong, browse riverside steaming noodle boats, and take a quiet dusk longtail ride to spot glowing fireflies in the corkwood trees.
