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.
Galileo once said, “Wine is sunlight, held together by water.” We don’t know what that means either, but it does sound like a good time. A lot of good food and great drinks are in bound for the week, and many are calling for both at the same time. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing vibe to chill after work, or a dance dance revolution to show off your sick moves, we have exactly what to do in Bangkok this week.
