Bangkok This Week: July 17 - 23

We have Buddhist Lent Day coming on Saturday, so this week will be quieter than usual. Also, remember that most bars and nightclubs will be closed on Saturday (but there is always Wong’s of course…).

🌟 Highlights this week:

  • Mong Tong from Taiwan playing at Blueprint Livehouse on Wednesday.

  • Turnstile (US) playing on Thursday.

  • The β€œFound It” exhibition opening party is on Saturday. Good artists and DJ TORU from GOJA will play music.
