5 Things to do in Bangkok this weekend (April 11 to 13)
If you do want to get soaked, check out our list of Songkran celebrations.
Fake Book Shop by Sigmund Fraud at Lou Hieb Seng
Date & Time: Friday, April 11 to Saturday, May 3, from 11am to 7pm (closed on Tuesday)
Location: Lou Hieb Seng, 5 Pratu Nokyung Alley (take the MRT to Sanam Chai or hop on a boat to Tha Tien Pier (N8))
Price: Free entry
If reality’s been feeling a bit… glitchy lately, you’re not alone, and Sigmund Fraud is here to lean all the way in. His second solo exhibition, ‘Fake Bookshop,’ opens at Lou Hieb Seng with a chaotic, brilliant blur of words, images, and existential dread. It’s like a fever dream where bookstores are haunted by memes, capitalism is a collapsing joke, and the only thing that’s real is your screen-induced numbness.
Make sure to come during opening night on April 12 at 5pm. It’s going to be your portal to the simulation, with all the absurdist energy you’d expect from a mind watching society scroll itself into oblivion. Come question realty, come laugh, come spiral.
Songkran Festival Week at The Warehouse Talat Noi
Date & Time: Until Sunday, April 13, from 5pm to 10pm (market) and from 10pm (music)
Location: The Warehouse Talat Noi
Price: Free entry
This Songkran, The Warehouse Talat Noi transforms into a multi-storey celebration of culture, chaos, and seriously good beats. Downstairs, from April 10 to 13, you’ll find a street-style market full of eats, drinks, vintage threads, and local art.

But upstairs is where things get wild. After 10pm, head up to CLUTCH and GEARBOX where the party splits into two dancefloors with different vibes. The DJ lineup includes Napirelly, Soup snakeS, SAVEMEKILLY, Joe Cola, Willy Monfret, and loads more are playing everything from house and breaks to disco and electro.
Weekend Crêpe Party at Playlys
Date & Time: Saturday, April 12, from 12pm
Location: Playlys Bangkok, Sathon
Price: 100++ baht
Sure, the streets might be soaked with water fights, but at Playlys, it’s raining crêpes. This Saturday, this cosy spot is flipping yp French favourites, both sweet and savoury, starting at noom.
Ham and cheese or classic lemon and sugar, take your pick. Plus, everything can be served with side of guinguette charm and low-ABV cider for that perfectly chilled, slightly fizzy vibe.

Date & Time: Saturday, April 12, from 9pm
Location: HORN, Silom Soi 4
Price: Start from 750 baht
If your Saturday night needs a pulse, maybe after all the water fights or you don’t have any plans yet, HORN is where you should be.
Jacob Meehan, the Chicago native turned Berlin mainstay, lands in town for one night only. With over fifteen years behind the decks and a cult following from his work with Buttons and Whole Festival, Meehan’s music is a full-body experience.
He’s joined by Singapore’s CLAMMR, whose high-voltage energy and fearless track choices have been shaking up dancefloors since 2018. A resident of Club Hell and Tuckshop, CLAMMR brings the kind of chaos that feels just right. And warming up the room is 5.5MM, so come early.
