What to do in Bangkok this May 2025
Art shows, wine nights, and foodie pop-ups... here are the best events in Bangkok this May
Bangkok doesn’t do boring, and this month is proof of that. May might be the start of the low season, but there’s nothing low-key about the city’s event calendar. You’ll find Thai art reimagined at riverside galleries, DJs spinning in food courts, and chefs turning regional Japanese dishes into edible love letters.
Here’s everything worth leaving the house (and braving the heat) for.

Slowcombo turns two this May, and they’re celebrating in the best possible way: with good food and good music.
This month-long event, called Bonding Bites, takes over the Foodroom with a rotating mix of food and dessert vendors each week. So yes, that means you can go back four times and try something new every time.
There’ll also be DJs and live bands playing throughout the month, so you can nod your head while you wander between stalls with something sweet in one hand and something savoury in the other.
Timeless Thai at 10 10 Art Space

If you didn’t make it to Timeless Thai in April, you’ve still got time since this one’s on until the end of May. Held at 10 10 Art Space on Phra Arthit Road, the exhibition is worth a stop whether you’re just walking past or making a day of it.
The show features work by seven Thai artists, including Artsaveworld, Patiphan Charoensuk, Patpixels, Sarawut Panhnu, Sibannakrit Krikum, Tananan Jaisawang, and Tanawat Chanpimai. They blend old and new Thai art, so you’ll see traditional details reimagined through modern eyes, all in one place.
Moreover, the setting adds to the charm. Phra Nakhon’s rich with temples, old buildings, and that unmistakable Bangkok character.
Wall Lords Thailand Exhibition at MunMun Srinakarin

If you’re anywhere near Srinagarindra Road this May, stop by The Step 1 at MMAD. The Wall Lords Thailand Exhibition, part of this year’s graffiti competition with the same name, has pulled in over 20 artists to turn the space into something that feels raw. You’ll spot names like BIGDEL, RUKKIT, HELLO MY NAME IS BKK and more, plus 14 finalists from the 2025 Wall Lords comp.
The exhibition shows that street art can be powerful, disciplined, and equal. No matter who made it, it gets the same wall space. You don’t need to understand it all. Just walk through, look around, and let the colours and lines do their thing.

“I’m excited to introduce the distinct flavours of Fukui,” says Chef Yoshida. And honestly, you will be too once that first bite hits. It’s rare, it’s limited, and absolutely worth seeking out.

Attack on Titan Final Exhibition at CentralWorld

Price: Start from 300 Baht (students) and 420 Baht (general admission) – free for kids under 90cm
Attack on Titan Final Exhibition is finally making its long-awaited debut at CentralWorld from May 7 to June 18. This blockbuster showcase spans eight thought-provoking zones, from a cinematic Opening Theatre to a jaw-dropping Thailand-exclusive featuring a four-metre Titan head smashing through the wall.
You’ll see original artwork, dramatic battle scenes, and explore the idea of what it means to be free in a world full of war and conflict. In addition, you’ll receive a limited-edition sketch by creator Hajime Isayama. Over 100 official merch items will also be available at the venue.
Spoiler alert: This exhibition is best for those who have already watched the full series, as it reveals major plot points.
Tickets are available via Ticketmelon.
That wraps up our list (for now), but in true Bangkok fashion, more events are always around the corner. May might be the month before the rains, but in Thailand’s capital, the real downpour is culture, and it’s coming at you fast.
Bangkok is also welcoming plenty of international artists this May. See our updated list of concerts coming to Bangkok in 2025.
