What to do in Bangkok this weekend (April 25 to 27)
We’ve made it to the last weekend of April! This month has been nothing short of a kaleidoscope. Songkran soaked us, Easter brought the pastels, Earth Day brought us closer to nature, and the city’s galleries have been throwing open their doors for art exhibitions like it’s a full-time job. And just when you thought it might be time to catch your breath, Bangkok says, not yet.
As always, the city doesn’t ask for your plans. It hands you a glittering, slightly chaotic itinerary and dares you not to enjoy yourself (almost impossible). Just to give you a little sneak peek, there’ll be a techno priest in Silom, a fruit carnival that doubles as a fever dream, and a symphonic ABBA show with royal approval this weekend.
Here’s where to be, what to eat, and who to sing along with this weekend in Bangkok.

Siam Paragon Tropical Fruit Parade 2025 is back, and it’s riper than ever. The star of the show is the legendary Durian Buffet. For 60 minutes, you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat experience featuring Monthong, Puangmanee, and Chanee Kai, as well as rare finds like Musang King and Black Thorn.
If you’re feeling bold, try the creative durian dishes like durian lasagna and French Fries. And with seven sessions daily, there’s plenty of time to lean into the madness.
Outside the buffet tent, more than 40 rare durian varieties sourced from orchards across the country are ripe for the tasting. You can find Thong Bangsaphan, Nonthaburi Monthong, and Long Lap lae, among others.

Not a durian fan? First of all, why? But also, don’t worry. Under the ‘From Farm to You’ theme, the festival serves up a delicious spread of mangosteens from century-old trees, crystal-clear longans, heirloom jackfruits, and GI-certified pineapples, among others.
Swing by the special community market for regional delicasies and artisanal goods. These include GI-certified palm sugar from Phetchaburi, Khanom Mor Kaeng (Thai custard), sun-dried king mackerel from Ao Noi, and coconut chiffon cake, all lovingly made by local producers.
Then, hit the foodie stalls for made-to-order tamarind slushies, Thai-style fruit salads, traditional desserts like Khanom Tuay, and many many more. And don’t miss Golden Hour delas (noon and 5pm daily) for cheeky Buy 1 Get 1s.

Memory No.22 Duo Exhibition by Korn Doll and 2Dox at 333Gallery
Date & Time: Until Sunday, April 27
Location: 333Gallery, Bangkok
Price: Free entry (Exhibition) / 150 Baht per person (Workshop)
Memory No.22 at 333Gallery brings together two artists in a dialogue of contrast, connection and nostalgia. Korn Doll and 2Dox explore memory through wildly different lenses.
Korn Neeyabhan’s resin and vinyl figures, inspired by vintage toys, function as visual diaries. Their quiet faces and candy-coloured forms hold moments that once passed too quickly.
Beside them, Jakrapong Siririn (2Dox) turns inkblots into emotional mirrors. His Rorschach-inspired works resist certainty, inviting each viewer to bring their own story. Together, the works flicker between the personal and the universal, the playful and the introspective.
Come on Sunday, April 27 for a special closing-day workshop. Korn Doll will guide a stencil and arm patch design session, while 2Dox shares his inkblot technique. Bring paper, fabric, or your favourite old tote. The gallery provides paint, tools and good vibes.
Be sure to register for the workshop beforehand.
