Bangkok's cocktail scene is no stranger to innovation – and now, some of the city's best bars are giving your next drink a new splitting twist 👀🍸

Joining the Split Drinks movement, these bars are putting their own spin on Pernod Ricard's fresh take on the cocktail experience, designed to help you slow down, savour every sip and enjoy your night a little more mindfully 💧✨

Served in a split glass with a cocktail on one side and water on the other, each creation invites you to alternate between the two. At .bangkok, Jameson Irish Wh***ey takes centre stage in The Split Sip & Reset, alongside bold flavours like coffee, toasted coriander seed and Angostura bitters. Over at , The Split Allure pairs Absolut Elyx with Supasawa and ginger ale for a citrusy kick. For a vibrant riverside sip, .bangkok shakes up The Split Water-melon with Altos Blanco and juicy watermelon 🍉🍸

The Split Sip & Reset will be available at The O.S.S. Room and Bar in October. Enjoy responsibly.

Bangkok’s newest contemporary art museum has made quite the entrance. 🎨

In less than a year, Dib Bangkok has gone from an ambitious new arrival to one of the most talked-about names on the city’s cultural scene – and director Dr. Miwako Tezuka has been there helping shape what comes next.

Ahead of the opening of Giving Life, a sprawling new exhibition bringing together more than 160 works by 33 Thai and international artists, Time Out sat down with Miwako to talk art, Bangkok and building a museum from the ground up.

Why Thailand? Why now? And can Bangkok become one of the world’s great contemporary art cities?
