If you’re in Bangkok, or planning a visit soon, there’s one glittering stop you won’t want to miss. Global design house Tiffany & Co. has unveiled its first-ever exhibition in Thailand, 'Legendary Legacy,' now open at One Bangkok, Tower 4, until September 7. It’s a rare opportunity to step inside the world of Jean Schlumberger, the visionary designer whose fantastical creations helped define Tiffany’s identity in the 20th century.
The exhibition unfolds across five immersive galleries, each themed around Schlumberger’s inspirations, from the lush tropics of Guadeloupe to the depths of the sea and the symbolism of flight. More than 50 archival pieces are on display, including the whimsical Elephant Head Clip and the vibrant Big Bird Clip, both showcasing Schlumberger’s signature blend of surrealism and technical brilliance.
But nothing catches more attention than the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond does, which is presented in its fifth and newest setting. “Discovered over 150 years ago, this extraordinary 128.54-carat stone is one of the largest and most important yellow diamonds in the world,” wrote the house on its social media.
Inspired by Schlumberger’s iconic Bird on a Rock brooch, the design features five diamond-encrusted birds in flight, encircling the radiant yellow gem. The piece took nearly 2,000 hours to complete, a testament to Tiffany’s unmatched craftsmanship.
Also featured are highlights from Tiffany’s Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder collection, which reimagines oceanic beauty through abstract and figurative designs.
Admission is free to the public until September 7, and visitors can register via Tiffany’s exhibition site or through the brand’s official LINE account. Whether you’re a jewelry enthusiastic, a design lover, or simply seeking a moment of glittering wonder, Legendary Legacy offers a rare glimpse into the artistry behind one of the world’s most iconic luxury houses.
Location: One Bangkok Tower 4, Corner of Rama 4 and Witthayu Roads (Wireless Road), Lumphini, Pathumwan, Bangkok

After nearly two decades of silence, the Bangkok International Film Festival (BKKIFF) is making a bold comeback, and it’s not just about screening films, but also reshaping Thailand’s cinematic identity and positioning Bangkok as Southeast Asia’s next major film hub.
Running from Sept. 27 to Oct. 15, 2025, BKKIFF 2025 marks a new chapter for the festival, which last held its edition in 2009. This revival is spearheaded by the Department of Cultural Promotion (DCP) under the Ministry of Culture and the newly formed Thailand Creative Culture Agency (THACCA), with a clear mission: to elevate Thai cinema on the global stage and foster international collaboration.
The festival’s theme, "Power in Collaboration," reflects its ambition to unite government, private sector, artists, and audiences in a shared cultural movement. “The film industry is one of the core elements of Thailand’s soft power,” said Dr. Surapong Suebwonglee, Chairman of the BKKIFF Organizing Committee. “It powerfully conveys our stories, ways of life, culture, and creativity to global audiences”.
BKKIFF 2025 promises to be the largest film festival in Southeast Asia, with over 200 films from more than 40 countries. The lineup spans features, shorts, documentaries, and animations, with a strong emphasis on recent releases, those that premiered within the past year, to qualify. The festival will also host masterclasses, panel discussions, and a robust film market, including over50 booths from Thai producers and industry stakeholders.
A major highlight is the Asian and Thai Project Pitching sessions, offering a total prize pool of US$25,000 to support emerging filmmakers. The festival’s opening ceremony on Sept. 29, 2025 at ICONSIAM’s Pinnacle Hall will feature the world premiere of Tee Yod 3 (Ghost Whisperer 3), the latest installment in Thailand’s highest-grossing horror franchise.
Screenings will take place across Bangkok’s leading cinemas, including Major Cineplex, SF Cinema, House Samyan, and Lido Connect. For Gen Z and younger millennials, BKKIFF may be a new name, but its return signals a renewed commitment to storytelling, creativity, and cultural exchange.
With over 100 short film submissions received within days of its open call, the excitement is palpable.
Check out BKKIFF’s website and follow their Instagram for more information.

Wonderfruit, Thailand’s biggest immersive and trailblazing celebration of culture, art, music, wellness, and nature, is celebrating its 10th year anniversary this December 11 to 15, 2025, at The Fields, Siam Country Club, in Pattaya, Chonburi.
The festival makes its return with a lineup as bold as its vision—bringing together international headliners, diverse regional and Thai talents, chef’s table experiences, Thai Molam legends, wellness rituals, workshops, talks, and immersive art experiences at highly conceptualized venues built with circular design and sustainability at its core.
This anniversary year continues Wonderfruit’s decade-long exploration of Mind, Nature, and Sound, acting as both a cultural playground and a catalyst for new ideas. They’ve just released their second Guide to Wonder, offering a glimpse into what’s to come for this year’s edition.
Through “Sonic Minds,” Wonderfruit is teaming up with MSCTY_Studio to create and curate soundscapes designed to improve how we feel. These will be revealed through live performances by Shook, Esla Hewitt, Scanner, and more and surprise installations in the most unexpected places, like in the forest, restrooms, or bridges.
Molam World to the Global Stage
Molam World, known for its celebration of Northeastern Thai music, food, and art, is returning with performances from Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band, Rungfa Kulachai, Gilles Peterson, and Ustad Noor Bakhsh. This year, joining the Molam Bus is the Molam Theatre, a multi-purpose venue designed by PO-D Architects.
40+ Venues Come Alive
Beloved venues like The Quarry, Forbidden Fruit, Solar Village, Enfold, and an expanded Living Village welcome acts like FKJ, Kerala Dust, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Hatis Noit & Orly Anan, múm, Shubostar, A Guy Called Gerald, Pearson Sound, Tristan Perich & ensemble 0, Vanishing Twin, Dawn of Midi, DOTT, JPBS x DuckUnit, Red-o, Minyo Crusaders and much more.
Making their debut this year is Baan Bardo, a kinetic maze with a multi-dimensional curation by Wit Pimkanchanapong, featuring performances, guided meditations, and Nepali Charya Nritya dance workshops.
With over 20 installations, Wonderfruit aims to involve art that encourages human connection. From Ab Rogers Design’s Social Interventions to Pinaree Sanpitak’s crafted steel and stone tables and Microtopia by TeaRoom, Wonderers are invited to slow down, connect, and reflect.
Wellness with Roots
The Wonderness program offers 100+ unique workshops, rituals, and ceremonies—from quantum sound healing with Zen monks to Amazonian Sacred Hapé rituals—inviting guests to a variety of ways to feel and live better.
Chef’s Tables & Culinary Stages
Michelin-star concepts, a Mediterranean-Thai fusion feast, and multi-sensory dining experiences are taking over the Wonder Kitchen and Open kitchen, while Pa Chan’s Life’s Market offers food, crafts, and culinary workshops from the five regions of Thailand.
Founder ‘Pete’ Pranitan Phornprapha reflected on the 10th Anniversary of Wonderfruit by sharing, “Reaching ten years of Wonderfruit is a moment of real gratitude and celebration for us. It’s thanks to the shared energy, creativity, and care of our community—our Wonderers that we’ve come this far.”
He added, “We’re entering a new chapter—one that moves beyond the idea of a once-a-year gathering. Wonderfruit is becoming a year-round cultural platform rooted in creativity and collaboration. We’re evolving The Fields into a living, working space for learning, experimentation and circular systems—from growing our own food, rewilding the land and hosting various cultural expressions that connect people to mind, sound, and nature.”
Wonderfruit is opening its next ticket salefor 48 hoursfrom September 2 to 4, 2025, at 6PM. Tickets will be first-come, first-served, with limited capacity.
