Yesterday, thanks to some enthusiastic Instagram posts that I’d seen, off we went to explore Happitat, a brand new, “massive 200,000-square-meter themed mixed-use destination that officially opened on August 21, 2026” (last bit is AI, so dunno if it actually needs quotation marks, but anyway…) Happitat is indeed massive, with different …
Bangkok’s lovely Museum Siam, which we visited a couple of years ago, has a very interesting temporary exhibition on at the moment. “Thai Dialogue: Foreign Quote” is a free exhibition, exploring Siam’s history, culture, and identity through the eyes, journals, and artefacts of foreign visitors—including merchants, diplomats, missionaries, and scholars—across different …
