18 things to do in Bangkok this weekend (Mar 5-8)
4 March, 2026 Bangkok time

Alright, we’re well into March, and while most of the city has its eyes on the Songkran prize next month, we’ve got plenty to be getting on with already. 

It’s a big weekend for music with acts at Culture Cafe, Speakerbox, Jam, and more playing everything from original and inventive tunes to classic covers. On the classical front Somtow Sucharitkul’s Mae Naak is at King’s College International School Bangkok. 

Keep an eye out for the Solomonari Festival 2026 - Teaser Party and Sunset Pool Party at Centara Grand at CentralWorld, but if you’re in the mood to move, remember to check out the Siam Square World Dance Carnival.
