Is your Instagram hankering for enormous caterpillar rolls and mountains of tempura flakes? Chomp on all things Japanese as CentralWorld welcomes 50 of Japan’s best-known street stalls from major cities like Hokkaido, Kobe, Kyoto, and Okinawa. See, you can feast on richly marbled Kobe beef and fresh giant King crabs from Hokkaido without booking a plane ticket.

Ice breaking competitions, pop-up stores, and rock music in the same place might sound a bit overwhelming, but here’s how to make the best of this summer pop-up. First, browse the temporary fashion booths for the latest summer collections from top high-street labels like Topshop, Da+PP and GAP. Then cool yourself down with an ice-breaking challenge, where you can break giant ice cubes to win must-have items or vouchers. Finally, end the day with a head-banging rock performance by Lomosonic (presented by H&M).

 

The Swarovski x Thai Designers ‘Sparkling Couture’ exhibition sees the cream of our local designers team up with the luxury crystal makers from Austria. Known for its collaborations with celebrities and designers ranging from Katy Perry to Jean-Paul Gaultier, Swarovski has invited celebrated Thai designers like Vatit Itthi, Iconic, 77th and Sirena to create masterpieces decorated with Swarovski crystals. Exhibited in Dubai last year, this is the first time they will be shown here. And don’t forget to bring your designer shades. This exhibition is guaranteed to sparkle and dazzle.

 

For the first time in Thailand, the most-respected magazine in the fashion industry is about to throw a summer party combining hot picks, a juice bar and a pop-up store. Keep your eyes peeled for ‘Vogue Loves’ tags on this season's must-have items and be first in line to grab limited-edition merchandise at the Vogue Pop Up Store, whose proceeds go to the Rama Foundation. And if the jostling gets too intense and your muscles get sore from carrying those shopping bags, make sure you stop by Vogue Juice Bar for their signature drink (get it when spending B2,000 at CentralWorld, 9-10 April). 

It’s going to be the hottest summer in decades (50 years, to be precise) and the government has told us to save water during Songkran. But fear not, the solution comes in the shape of millions of bubbles. Covering three distinct zones: Bangkok’s largest and bubbliest foam party, carnival games and a concert with big names like Potato, Big Ass and Slot Machine.     

 

CentralWorld is about to be lit up by a myriad stars and a constellation of food stalls (spoiler alert: it’s a mini-planetarium slash foodie’s night market). Whether you’re into late-night munchies or a full-blown meal, you’ll have 100 pop-up stalls to explore. The best way to wrap up your journey into the midsummer night’s Milky Way? A bottle of delicious creamy milk from Milk Bar by Health Cuisine.

The final round of the prestigious bar competition is drawing near and cocktail enthusiasts out there are saving the date. All the greatest bartenders in the country are expected to show off their skills and execute their newest recipes to win the first prize. To follow in their footsteps, keep a keen eye on the pros to pick up a thing or two. And if that sounds like too much effort, you can always just order a stiff drink from the bar.

 

Move over Hansel and Gretel. Here comes a chocolate forest, a wall made up of 1,000 pieces of chocolate, a splendid tea party, and a chocolate sculpting competition from world-famous chefs. You can make your own chocolate. You can sip tea with your pinky raised. Or you can slurp up cocoa while munching on trays of treats.

Thailand Toy Expo 2016 is for the young and young at heart. The largest toy expo in Southeast Asia will roll out the top collections from 50 brands worldwide along with heavy discounts on CentralWorld’s Big Saving Day (up to 80%). You’re bound to go nuts for all the collectibles and limited edition anime and superhero models but please be a good kid and leave a little something for the actual children out there.

4-8 May 2016, at all event zones
