The Bangkok edit

This weekend in Bangkok

Choose a gallery, make space for a long meal and keep a park in mind for later. Leave room for the weather to have a say. The weekend runs from Friday evening through Sunday. Find dated events first, then places to visit, tables to book and rooms to explore after dark.
