“The Bootleg Show” at MOCA Bangkok

In the realm of art toy production, Thai-Hong Kong artist MRKREME (Worakan Jonghtanapipat) unearthed a fascinating disparity between his original art toy designs and their factory-produced counterparts. This observation raises the question: “What is originality, and who is defining it?”

When MRKREME first brought the character "Mushkin" to life — a whimsical furry monster — unexpected distortions during manufacturing altered his original vision. This intriguing experience ignited a deep curiosity about the essence of originality, especially since Mushkin stands as one of the central figures in the artist's body of work.

As a result, The Bootleg Show by MRKREME features pieces that reinterpret Mushkin through the memories and perspectives of others. It includes paintings, sculptures, and videos that encourage viewers to reconsider the idea that imperfection can serve as a starting point for creativity.

Location: Atrium and Temporary Exhibition Rooms 1, 2, and 3 (G Floor), Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA BANGKOK), 499 Kamphaengphet 6 Road, Ladyao, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900

Date: Now to 29 June 2025

Admission Fee: THB180 for Adults, THB100 for Students (with ID), and free entry for kids under 100cm. Book your tickets here.

“Glass Plate Negatives: Circles of Centres” at BACC

If you're intrigued by history, you'll want to check out a remarkable exhibition featuring glass plate photographs curated by the National Archives of Thailand. This is part of the "Project Glass Plate Negatives: A Thousand Historical Images of Rattanakosin (3rd Edition)." The exhibition offers a deep dive into Southeast Asia, depicting it as a world imbued with divinity.

Step back in time to the majestic reign of King Chulalongkorn of Siam, a period that weaves together the threads of ancient philosophy and political discourse, illuminating the complexities of a world in transformation.

"Circles of Centres" documents a unique period in Siamese history through the lens of Roland Barthes. Here, you will be transported into the multifaceted life of the King — not only amidst the bustling streets of Bangkok but also during his adventurous travels across mainland Southeast Asia, from the serene landscapes of Prachuab Khiri Khan to the vibrant shores of Songkhla, and further south to the Sultanates, such as Terengganu, and beyond.

Location: Main Exhibition Gallery, 9th Floor, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC), 939 Rama I Rd, Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330

Date: Now to 27 July 2025

Admission Fee: Free

“Folded Corners” at River City Bangkok

There’s something unspoken about folded corners. “Folded Corners” is a pop-up exhibition curated by River Art Gallery in collaboration with River City Bangkok, featuring Taiwanese-Canadian artist Yi-Shuan Lee and Taiwanese artist Ray Han. This exhibition serves as an informal marker, existing in the liminal space between privacy and public display — subtle yet powerfully directing attention to ideas that demand to be noticed, revealing layers of meaning that are yet to be fully unraveled.

In this showcase, Yi-Shuan Lee makes a bold intervention in the canvas space with whimsical cartoon-style lines, emphasizing brushstrokes and linear forms that articulate the tension between suppression and desire. At first glance, the delicate black outlines may appear light, but these images resonate with the profound anxiety of a younger generation, caught between the expectations of previous generations and fragmentary cultural influences.

Location: Room 248 – 249, 2nd Floor, River City Bangkok, 23 Soi Charoen Krung 24, Talat Noi, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100

Date: June 7 to July 6, 2025

Admission Fee: Free

Lost in Domland

The transition from childhood to adulthood transforms everything. In our youth, play was our greatest joy — a universal language that allowed us to explore and understand the world. Whether we were molding clay or doodling around, each moment of play unlocked new dimensions of our reality and ourselves. Yet, as we grow older, we often find ourselves closing the door on these possibilities, becoming trapped in familiar routines. We start to fear mistakes and overthink how others perceive us, leading us to forget how to fully embrace life. This art exhibition by Udom Taephanich, which is not-so-playful, is a way to reconnect with your inner explorer that once fueled your curiosity.

Location: 8th floor, The Pinnacle Hall, ICONSIAM, 299 Charoen Nakhon Rd, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600

Date: June 7 to Aug. 3, 2025

Admission: THB850. Buy tickets here.

On July 27, 2025, the beloved British electro-soul duo will return to Bangkok for the highly anticipated “The OUCH World Tour," an experience that promises to keep you "Warm On a Cold Night."

HONNE, consisting of Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher, has carved out a space where soulful serenades meet glossy synth-pop.

Fans can expect them to perform tracks from their latest album "OUCH," which premiered on Sept. 6, 2024, and sent fans into a frenzy. With 16 tracks on the album, ranging from the comforting ballad "Lean on Me" to the sultry “SHHH,” the album dives deeper into their signature romantic sound.

This marks HONNE’s fifth time performing in Bangkok since their debut in 2017, proving the city holds a special place in their heart — and vice versa. And as if that weren’t enough, the night kicks off with Thai sensation Bowkylion, whose dreamy pop ballads will warm the crowd up just right.

For the Bangkok stop, doors to the concert open at 7 PM, with the duo taking the stage until 8:30 PM.

Tickets are selling fast, with VIP Standing at THB6,900 (for the superfans who want to be right up front) and General Admission at THB2,900. Grab your tickets now here.

Aside from Bangkok, fans in other parts of Southeast Asia can look forward to HONNE gracing the stage as part of their tour. On July 29, 2025, they will perform in Hong Kong at Asia World-Expo, Runway 11, starting at 8 PM.

Festivals International Festival of Dance & Music Dance Music

A world-class spectacle is making a grand comeback this September to October 2025.

The 27th International Festival of Dance and Music is happening from Sept. 6 to Oct. 15, 2025, bringing 14 stunning performances from over 10 countries across the globe to the Main Hall of the Thailand Cultural Centre in Bangkok.

This year’s lineup is nothing short of legendary — with the Thai debut of an iconic opera superstar, an epic tale from India, a breathtaking Chinese ballet, operatic masterpieces, dazzling Chinese acrobatics, a high-energy dance-meets-tech show from France, and so much more.

Opera legend and one of the Three Tenors, Plácido Domingo, is set to perform in Thailand for the first and only time, headlining an international lineup of performances that promise to redefine the stage.

With a career spanning over 150 operatic roles, more than 4,000 performances, and 12 Grammy wins, Domingo has redefined opera for global audiences and marks a milestone in Thailand’s cultural calendar. He will be joined by captivating American soprano Monica Conesa and groundbreaking Italian conductor Beatrice Venezi in an unforgettable night of operatic brilliance.

Also making its Thai debut is India’s “Mahabharata: 18 Days, Dusk of an Era,” a large-scale theatrical spectacle by the Prabhat Arts International. The epic blends traditional Indian dance and drama with aerial stunts, martial arts, and immersive visuals to present the mythical battle between the Pandavas and Kauravas to life.

From China, the National Ballet of China will be reimagining the classic “Dream of Red Mansions” through Western ballet, transforming the 18th-century literary classic into a performance of love, decline, and dynastic drama.

Opening the second half of the festival is Russia’s Samara Opera & Ballet Theatre with four grand productions: two legendary operas “Tosca” and “Aida,” a new edition of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” and the emotionally charged contemporary ballet “Three Masks of the King,” a dramatic reflection on power, identity, and the courage to embrace one’s true self.

The China National Acrobatic Troupe is set to amaze Thai audiences with gravity-defying stunts and jaw-dropping feats of athleticism, in a performance that celebrates 50 years of Thai-Chinese diplomatic relations. With over 50 acrobats and more than 74 international gold medals, the troupe promises high-octane entertainment with universal appeal.

France’s Pixel brings a fusion of street, hip-hop, rollerblading, and contemporary dance with cutting-edge 3D graphics, projection mapping, and interactive visual effects.

The festival’s eclectic global lineup includes Cuba’s Cuba Vibra!, a celebration of Cuban dance culture; Nocturna from Spain, offering a contemporary tale on flamenco; NINA, a Gatsby-style dance drama; Energy ∞ Infinite, a dynamic percussion performance blending rhythm and movement; and a masterful orchestral show from the Prague Philharmonia, featuring the classical brilliance from George Li of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, rounding out an international showcase of talent and artistry.
