Alright, let’s get started. First off, there’s, as always, good news on the music front. You’ve got techno and house beats everywhere from Bangkok Island to Dual, and there’s plenty of local live bands playing at some of your favorite spots like Melt Livehouse and Blueprint Livehouse.
If your weekend is more about eating and drinking, don’t miss the Art of Whiskey Tasting at Muu Bangkok or the Igniv Circle with some excellent champagne and caviar.
And, as ever, there are some rather off-the-wall things to do, including two events for singles and comedy for Tom Rhodes. Beyond that, you'll find picnics, discussions, boats, and more.
