What to do in Bangkok: 16-22 April 2024

Spirits and sounds at Adjust BKK

18-20 April, 9pm onwards

As the team of Sukhumvit’s party place Rimshot is waiting for their new venue in Sathorn, they’re opening “Adjust,” a non-permanent bar that pops up every Thursday till Saturday. They’re also bringing in DJs for some entertainment, as well as a rotation of new cocktails every week. Plus, the red and black interior makes for great photo opps.

Fish & chips journey at Kai New Zealand

18 April, 6-9.30pm

The classic fish & chips never fail to impress the crowd, and at Kai New Zealand, they’re bringing the Pacific to the plates. They have a selection of local catches and New Zealand wild-caught fish, ready for you to be chosen, battered, deep fried into beautiful golden brown, and served with fries and housemade tartar. Did we mention it’s all-you-can-eat?

You can find more information at Kai New Zealand.

Sunday swing at Buddha & Pals

21 April, 2-5.30pm

Buddha & Pals is located in a century-old building. With its rustic charm and warm lighting, we cannot imagine a better venue for a swing dance session. DJ Jumpin’Jive will be behind the booth for the social dance — don’t miss the chance to swing, jive, and let loose before you return to work. No experience? No worries, as there’s an open class from 2-2.30pm.

Mud crab and mayongchid season arrives at Orchid Café’s dinner buffet

19-21 April, 6-10.30pm

Summer and mayongchid treats go hand-in-hand. From cakes to trifles, it’s a refreshing and tasty way to enjoy some great meals for the season. One of the more underrated ingredients is the mud crab, as it’s their peak spawning time. Have them steamed whole with garlic butter sauce or the more tangy green chili and lime, and you’re in for a good time. Orchid Café is serving all of those as part of their dinner buffet every Friday-Sunday until 2 June, 2024.

You can find more information at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit.

Summer Wave has hit Dry Wave Cocktail Studio with six refreshing seasonal cocktails

Until 31 May, 7pm onwards

With the intense summer heat in full swing, take a seat and ride the waves of Dry Wave Cocktail Studio’s seasonal menus made with bright and refreshing seasonal fruits. Need a little pick-me-up? The “Coconut” is a tequila-based cocktail with organic coconut water, earl grey, and longan salt. Or perhaps the “Melon” will wave the heat away — a drink made with Bombay Sapphire gin, melon liqueur, fresh green melon, lychee, and pomelo saccharum. If those don’t scratch the itch, watermelon, Marian plum, tomato, and jackfruit are also available.

You can find more information at Dry Wave Cocktail Studio.
