Right now a Bangkok train ride can set you back anywhere from B15-B62. But from September 30, Thai citizens will be able to ride the entire network for a flat B20. The only catch is that a Thai ID is required to access this transit goldmine, making it a locals-only win. While this is a major benefit for Thai commuters, it also highlights a gap as migrant workers and long-term residents without Thai IDs remain excluded.

This unified fare covers the Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS), the elevated train network, the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), the underground metro, and the Airport Rail Link (ARL), which connects downtown Bangkok to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Rain’s not giving Bangkok a break these days. After weeks of heavy showers soaking the city, the Big Mango is now on high alert as rising sea levels threaten to flood low-lying areas along the Chao Phraya River. Stay safe and keep an eye on updates if you’re near the river.

Bangkok doesn’t ease in – it crashes through. Heat, horns, holy men on their phones. The city moves fast and doesn’t look back. And somewhere in the blur is , camera in hand, catching the bits most of us ignore – his photos linger. We stumbled across his work online (thank you, algorithm) and had to reach out. He said yes, in the same quiet way his images speak. We asked him a few questions about how he sees the city – like a dream you sort of remember, but can’t quite place.

Feeling fancy with a side of skyline views? We hit up for their seasonal menu and we can't keep our mouths shut about this one.

Perched high above the capital with panoramic city views and the most open kitchen we've ever seen, this isn't your average Italian spot. Eight courses of pure artistry use ingredients from literally everywhere. A playful flavour combo of yuzu jelly and blue crab is followed by a procession of highlights that include creamy risotto carabinero, rose-petaled hamachi and kinmedai. The experience concludes with a dessert parade that'll make your head spin.

But wait, let's talk about that kinmedai – crispy skin, perfectly aged fish, stuffed morel mushrooms, and German white asparagus cooked to absolute perfection. Don't let the fine dining label scare you though – these chefs are young at heart. You'll spot a Lego Mario built by the chef himself, and yes, that's actually a Darth Vader whisky jelly in our first pic (Paulo's favourite character, no joke).

Sometimes you crave a meal that feels like edible theatre, and Sartoria delivers every single time.

It’s been almost three years since Thailand legalised ma*****na and the backlash is coming on strong. Now, Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin calls for new regulations that would require users to show a medical certificate from a licensed doctor or traditional Thai medicine practitioner to prove they are using it for health reasons. Do you think this new proposal will help the country?

After drawing quiet attention during Bangkok Design Week 2025, Wit Pimkanchanapong returns to the Asvin building – not with answers, but with echoes. This time, the narrative deepens, inviting visitors to slip once again into the murmur of memories and half-remembered songs, all unfolding within the shell of the former film company’s historic premises.

Octave Maze Asvin Collection continues the thread begun in Octave Maze, but moves further inward. Eight tracks now anchor the experience, each a fragment of some fading past. Alongside these melodies are live sets, quiet interventions and weekend experiments that reshape how one listens and lingers.

Open from May 15-August 31, this arrangement of sound and space unfolds Thursday to Sunday, between 1pm-8pm. Entry fee is B100.
