Tyga at Salone Di Vita
Date & Time: Friday, January 2
Location: Salone Di Vita
Price: Table reservation.
Tyga hits Bangkok this January with a one-night show at SALONE DI VITA in Ekamai. It’s an intimate setup that suits his slick, high-energy sound, with tracks like Rack City and Taste guaranteed to turn the place into a proper late-night party. A quick heads-up on entry: there are no tickets for this show. Access is strictly via table reservations only, and spots are limited. If you want to be there, booking early is the only way.
Wim Hof Method Community Session at Breath Inspired
Date & Time: Saturday, January 3, 9pm
Location: Breath Inspired, UnionSPACE
Price: 1,650 baht per person
Saturday mornings get a proper reset at this Wim Hof Method community session led by Stuart and Kam. It’s for people who have already done the fundamentals and want to stay sharp. The session starts with guided breathwork, then straight into ice baths that wake you up fast, followed by time in the barrel sauna and the onsen style hot tub. There is space to chat, recover and connect with others who are just as committed to the practice.
Step Aside at Smalls
Date & Time: Saturday, January 3, 9pm
Location: Smalls Bangkok
Price: Free entry
Smalls turns 11 and the party soundtrack comes from Step Aside, a Thai jazz band that likes to take the long way round. The group brings baritone sax, bass, guitar and drums together for a sound that leans modern, loose and full of sharp turns. This is jazz that stretches out, shifts gear and keeps you listening. Come hungry, too. Smalls’ late night kitchen runs till 1.30am with Gallery Pizza on hand for a proper post set bite.
Jan Bican at Vanich House Bangkok
Date & Time: From Saturday, January 3 to 28
Location: Vanich House Bangkok
Price: Free entry
Czech contemporary art gets a sharp moment in Bangkok with new work by Jan Bican. He treats streets, bodies and public space as his canvas, using light to pull you closer rather than shout for attention. The pieces sit in that uneasy space between exposure and privacy, intimacy and distance, softness and control. Seen here, far from Europe, the ideas land even harder. You find yourself slowing down, circling back, catching details you missed the first time.
If the first weekend of 2026 feels like a blank page, this is how you start scribbling on it. Go loud, go slow, or do both in the same 24 hours.
