Pop-ups, art shows, tea fairs, and more... here's your guide to the best things to do in Bangkok this weekend
The only annoying thing about the weekend in a city like Bangkok is deciding what to do. There’s too much happening, too many pop-ups to browse, exhibitions to catch before they’re gone, and film screenings you’ll kick yourself for missing. More often than not, you end up wishing you can be at several different places at once than actually making a choice.
That’s why we’ve narrowed things down to six events worth visiting this weekend. From a scent-driven walking tour to a tea-lover’s paradise, here’s what to do in Bangkok from August 8 to 10.

Interiors: Through the Lens of Fashion at Slowcombo
Date & Time: Until Friday, August 8
Location: Slowcombo

Friday is your last chance to see Interiors: Through the Lens of Fashion, an exhibition where personal spaces and fashion come together in striking, emotion-filled portraits. Curated by QOQOON, this group show at Slowcombo feature Nopadon Kaosam-ang, Nat Prakobsantisuk, Punsiri Siriwetchapun, and Chutharut Pornmuneesoontorn, among others.

Sunset Boulevard by Billy Wilder at House Samyan
Date & Time: Friday, August 8 to Tuesday, August 12
Location: House Samyan
Price: 160 baht
Cinephiles, clear your calendar for the limited screening of Sunset Boulevard at House Samyan this weekend. The theatre is bringing Billy Wilder’s razor-sharp takedown of fame and failure to celebrate the movie’s 75th anniversary.
Gloria Swanson is unforgettable as Norma Desmond, the ageing star who won’t fade quietly, while William Holden’s jaded screenwriter gets pulled into her delusion. Nominated for 11 Oscars and preserved in the Library of Congress, this is one of the greats.
Tickets are available via housesamyan.com.
Taste of Tea at Central Ladprao

In addition to sipping your way through premium brews, you can also treat yourself to sweet things on the side and browse limited-edition matcha accessories. And if you’re a serious tea fan, be sure to join in the tea workshops for a hands-on session.
Songwat Walking Tour
Date & Time: Saturday, August 9, 2.30pm to 5.30pm
Location: PLAY Art House
Price: 1,500 baht per person
Songwat smells different when you slow down. Made in Songwat’s new walking tour turns Bangkok’s oldest street into something you feel with your nose. Inhale spices seeping from wooden shophouses, incense lingering by shrines, and tea steeping in open kitchens.
The tour isn’t just about fragrance, though. You’ll get a chance to chat with shop owners, stop for stories, taste what’s cooking, and even pocket a scented balm from Ruean Rom. It’s an intimate wander through one of the city’s most beautiful streets, curated by people who live and work there.
Register before you go.
Bangkok knows how to throw a good time. So go get ready, there’s a city to explore and more than enough going on to fill your Friday through Sunday with stories worth telling. Have fun!
