There are always exciting events happening every week in the city. Make sure you’re in the know of hot events, and things to do in Bangkok with our weekly round-up. Here’s what to do in Bangkok this 6-12 August 2024.
“Anyone can cook,” exclaimed the late Chef Auguste Gusteau, but that doesn’t mean we will, considering the sheer amount of mouthwatering food selections we have in town this week. With new faces, new events, and new promotions, there are simply so many things to do, yet so little time.

Christian Faulkner chef counter at Chenin
8-10 August, 7pm onwards
No. 42 on the 50 World’s Best Restaurants list for 2024, Ikoyi London ties global influences together through spice-packed dishes. Leading the team as head chef is Christian Faulkner who grew up as a fish monger, then turned to the kitchen, so you know his seafood will be on point. He’ll be featuring a tasting menu at Chenin for a limited time.

“Sing for Your Drink: Y2K Edition” at Maria Bar
10 August, 10.30pm onwards
Maria Bar’s ‘Sing for Your Drink’ is back. The rules are simple: a song for a drink on the house — it’s like the code of Hammurabi, but boozier. The Y2K theme also makes it more fun — all the more reason to get the party started. The live music starts at 8.30pm, but the event starts from 10.30pm.
You can find more information at Maria Bar.
Sunday blues brunch at Tina’s
11 August, 11.30am-3pm
Tina’s brings the New Orleans funk to Bangkok, and their new Sunday brunch deal is as sweet as their food selection. Dig into their signature crawfish boil, perhaps some biscuits and gravy, and don’t forget the scrumptious gumbo served with rice. While you’re dining, live blues music is in the air — the vibes have never been more perfect. A la carte and set menus are also available.

Giant burger set challenge at Greenhouse Restaurant & Terrace
Until 31 August, 6.30-10.30am; 12pm-midnight
The Greenhouse Restaurant & Terrace at Avani Sukhumvit has come up with a new idea: a huge 18cm beef burger with sides of fries, onion rings, and veggies. It’s perfect for sharing between 3-4 people, but finish it solo within 30 minutes and the whole set is free. If you’re one of the first three winners, they’re also throwing in a free night’s stay with breakfast.
You can find more information at Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok.
