17 things to do in Bangkok this weekend (Jul 31-Aug 3)
Roast battle, old-time photography, karaoke, live music, dancing, soul, and more.
The monsoon season is hitting us hard, but that’s not going to stop us. We’re ready to drown in sake, sing on a golden toilet, and dance our troubles away. This week, there are plenty of tunes to keep you moving, whether you want to check out some soul food and music at Speakerbox or you want to party with the club kids at Jungle Jam and Mustache. Let’s get this one started.
It’s back to Jam this weekend for the great tunes. The twist? You’re doing the tunes. Take over Bangkok’s favorite spot for live music with your terrible, terrible singing for one of their classic Bathroom Singing sessions. The theme is the monsoon season madness, so be ready. More info here, Jam
Who needs wine when you’ve got sake? This one night event at KiSara at Conrad Bangkok will feature Sake Pairing Dinner on the third floor, featuring six courses, each paired with premium sake selections. More info here, KiSara

Millennials got a bad rap from—well, the people who actually destroyed the world. Now millennials have mortgages and back pain, and that entitles them to nostalgia.

There’s always comedy going on in Bangkok, so why this one? Because this city’s comics are absolutely brutal to one another and this roast will show no mercy. It’s a roast battle where comedians will perform and then rip each other to shreds. More info here, The Comedy Joint
Elliott Imlay—who is an entirely different character when singing for Turbo Star—will be belting out the tunes of Old Blue Eyes at Foojohn, but things kick off with Twangy Chai starting at 7:30pm to put a little country into the Big Mango. More info here, Foojohn Jazz Club

Speakerbox definitely knows how to bring hard tunes that Bangkok loves, but on Sunday, they’re slowing things down with a little soul starting at 6pm with dinner—yes, dinner at Speakerbox—followed by tunes from DJs and live acts. More info here, Speakerbox
Cowboys, wooden boats, big dresses—what’s not to love about the 19th century. It turns out a whole lot. Like, a lot.

Here you can have your photo taken with a handmade wooden box camera. Tickets here, The Commons Thonglor
