BK has been with you through every weekend of 2024, and, hoo doggy, has it been a year. This is the last one. So live it up. We have everything from big techno events at Paragon Hall and Latin dance pool parties to a belated secret santa at CALM and a showing of Rocky IV. Over the year, we've provided Bangkok with nearly 900 things to do on the weekend. It's been grand, and we'll be back next year with more wild events.

L’Apero Des Fadas

On the theme of being “fada”—from the Marseille lingo for being wild and happy—Playlys is bringing vibes from the South of France with their first ever L’Apero Des Fadas. It’s free entry for a Provençal buffet and BOGO cocktails. More info here, Playlys 

The Poet Parlor

If you’re looking for some raconteurs and troubadours this Thursday, head over to the Parlor for another event from Bangkok Lyrical Lunacy at The Standard for poetry, DJs, great views, and more. More info here, Standard Hotel Bangkok

Ma Cherie: Ladies’ Night

It’s back to Pastel this weekend for ladies’ night. Kicking off at 5pm, ladies can expect free-flow sparkling wine from 9-11pm along with special cocktails for the evening and buy-one-get-one oysters for everyone. More info here, Pastel 

Velvet Sins

Thursdays are usually for ladies’ night, but the Iron Balls - The Parlor is doing one for the gents with buy-one-get-one gin and tonics all night for the fellas. More info here, Iron Balls - The Parlor

El Santo Weekend Brunch 

You can’t accuse El Santo of being boring. Following up their wrestling event last week, this Mexican food stop for hungry Bangkok luchadores is putting on a big brunch every weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Starting at noon, you can expect all-you-can-eat tacos, live entertainment, and buy-one-get-one drinks. More info here, El Santo

Ice House: Saturday Community Session

Note: This one is not for beginners, and they are not going to hold your hand through the process. But, if you’re a seasoned ice bather, then this weekend will feature drinks, ice bath, sauna, and refreshments. More info here, Ice House by Bangkok Ice Baths

FUMP Presents Alex Nantaya

Goodfellas Club is bringing the tunes again this weekend with Alex Nantaya visiting from Switzerland. The party kicks off at 9pm and the openers are Blac Koncept out of Australia, Etil from Thailand, and Martin Tobias from Poland. More info here, Goodfellas Club

Boogie Brunch from Disco to Disco 

Gigi is the big name in Bangkok brunch, and this weekend the Ekkamai location is going all out for disco—which, famously, never dies. With tunes from Disco Strategist’s Giuseppe Cola, this brunch is promising the biggest croissants you’ve ever seen. More info here, Gigi Ekkamai 

Latin B&B Pool Party

There’s always a pool party in Bangkok, and the one to watch this slightly chilly weekend is at Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok, featuring John Anthony on the decks and a free dance workshop by Oscar and Hoai An. This event is limited to just 50 people. More info here, Rembrandt Hotel 

Arcadia Rooftop Cinema: ‘Rocky IV’

Much of today’s fraught political landscape comes from the fact that Ivan Drago killed Apollo Creed on purpose. Head up to the rooftop of Arcadia Barcade this weekend for the height of Cold War drama in the fourth (and what fans of terribly designed robots call) the Rocky movie. More info here, Arcadia Barcade 

Last Bachata Fever in 2024

For hundreds of participants, Sunday in 2024 has meant dancing—specifically, Latin dancing. These parties have been big and quite important for building the community. The last one of the year kicks off at 8pm, and regular visitors can look forward to highlights from 2024. More info here, amBar
