There are always exciting events happening every week in the city. Make sure you’re in the know of where’s hot, and what to do in Bangkok.
Love can be expressed by a thousand different ways. A plate of summer beaufort cheese served with cloud of mousse, autumn vegetables, and a bouquet of herbs, presented on a delicate filo puff pastry is certainly one of them. Apart from that, guest shifts and collabs are also in bound for the week. There’s always something to look out for in Bangkok when it comes to food and drinks, after all.
