Galleries’ Nights 2025
Date & Time: Friday, November 21 to Saturday, November 22
Location: Various galleries across Bangkok
Price: Free
Galleries’ Night is a great excuse to wander through parts of the city you normally rush past. More than 80 galleries are opening their doors late, with over 200 artists showing work across the city. ree MuvMi shuttles run through the main routes, so you can hop between Silom, Sathorn and the riverside on the first night, then head to Sukhumvit, Ari and Pathumwan the following evening.
There’s a bigger purpose behind it this year. The programme marks 340 years of Franco-Thai relations, and many galleries are spotlighting women artists in partnership with AWARE, a French organisation supporting women in the arts. Look out for the symbol marking each participating space.
Ploenchit Fair at Bangkok Patana School
Date & Time: Saturday, November 22, 10am
Location: Bangkok Patana School
Price: From 125 baht per child / 250 baht per adult – Tickets available via Ticketmelon
The Ploenchit Fair brings together everything people love about a good community day out. You’ll find games, food stalls, raffles and plenty of bits to browse, all set up to raise money for Thai organisations that need support. The fair will take a gentler tone this year in honour of the national mourning period for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, but the heart of it stays the same. It’s an easy place to spend a few hours, enjoy the atmosphere and put your money towards something that actually helps.
Yuzu Safari – Masters of Food & Wine at Park Hyatt Bangkok
Date & Time: Saturday, November 22, 4.30pm to 9.30pm
Location: Park Hyatt Bangkok
Price: 6,700++ baht per person
Yuzu Safari is throwing a big afternoon at Park Hyatt Bangkok! You start with relaxed workshops, move into a canapé hour, then sit down for a six-course dinner with Mason Florence and friends leading the way. There’s also a roaming sake trolley handing out pours and little cups you can take home, which feels like a fun bonus. If you’re in the mood for something food-focused but not stuffy, this is a really nice way to spend a Saturday.
Neilson Hays Library Bi-Annual Book Sale
Date & Time: Until Sunday, November 23, 9.30am to 5pm
Location: Neilson Hays Library, 195 Surawong Road
Price: Free entry, book prices start at 20 baht
The Neilson Hays Library Book Sale is heading into its final days, so this weekend is your last chance to dig through the stacks. The library is filled with pre-loved reads in English and Thai, from thrillers and cookbooks to children’s picks and old CDs, all starting at twenty baht.
They restock daily, so you never know what you’ll find. Saturday is the real treat: the library is hosting its first Neilson Hays Market in the garden, with local vendors outside and books inside. It’s a relaxed way to browse, chat and support a place that has quietly held the city’s literary heart for more than a century.
Song Wat Week
Date & Time: Until Sunday, November 23, 11am to 9pm
Location: Song Wat Road
Price: Free
Songwat is already one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Bangkok, and this week is a good time to see why people keep talking about it. Song Wat Week focuses on how the area’s old buildings and long-running shops are getting a new life without losing their history.
This year’s theme, Where Heritage Meets Creativity, keeps things simple: old stories with new ideas. You’ll see art, small community projects and fun pop-ups that show how the street is changing while still feeling familiar.
4 Yaek Flea Market at Fortune Town
Date & Time: Saturday, November 22 to Sunday, November 23, 4pm to 11pm
Location: Rooftop, Fortune Town
Price: Free entry
4 Yaek Flea Market is heading into its second season, and the rooftop setup at Fortune Town still feels like one of the easiest places to spend a weekend evening. Stalls line the deck with vintage clothes, vinyl, home pieces and all the little finds people love hunting for. This year the focus is on the Motorcycle Booth, where Vesganworld’s vintage bikes double as displays for more things to pick through.
The view across Ratchada at sunset is always worth a pause, and with food and drinks around, it’s the kind of market where you end up staying longer than planned.
Pick whatever feels right for you and enjoy the day at your own pace. Bangkok always has something happening and this weekend has a few easy options that make getting out feel good.
