The Bangkok Motor Show, after the fuel shock
BitesizeBKK, Published on 01/04/2026
» The Bangkok International Motor Show still knows how to stage desire. This year’s edition, running from March 25 to April 5 at IMPACT Challenger, has all the familiar pleasures intact: polished bodywork under hard lights, crowds drifting from stand to stand, and the quiet thrill of being close to machines designed to look smoother, sharper and more complete than everyday life usually allows. The excitement is still there. What feels different now is the meaning attached to it. The car no longer arrives as a simple symbol of freedom or prestige. It enters a more unsettled conversation, one shaped by energy anxiety, changing consumer habits and a growing curiosity about what driving is supposed to look like next.

» For three days in late March, BITEC felt charged with a kind of energy Bangkok has become increasingly good at generating: collective, slightly feverish, and impossible to watch from a distance without wanting to lean in. HYROX returned to the city from March 20 to 22, filling the venue with athletes, supporters, first-timers, relay teams, gym friends and curious onlookers, all drawn into the same fast-moving orbit of strain, encouragement and release.

Why we need urban green spaces

» Urban development tends to focus on what can be added: new towers, wider roads, larger commercial districts. But some of the most important infrastructure in a city is not built at all.
Death Fest: a public forum for a private topic
BitesizeBKK, Published on 12/03/2026
» Death Fest at Impact Exhibition Center does not resemble the kind of event its name suggests. There is no spectacle. Instead, the space is filled with information booths, small group discussions and visitors moving steadily between sessions on ageing, palliative care and planning for the end of life.
What’s the point of luxury gyms?
BitesizeBKK, Published on 25/02/2026
» Luxury gyms are expanding across Bangkok at a pace that feels less like a passing trend and more like a structural shift in how urban space is being used. From private Pilates studios tucked into Thonglor side streets to padel courts embedded within mixed-use developments, these spaces are multiplying in neighbourhoods that already signal affluence, and they do so with a distinct confidence. Their membership fees are high, their interiors deliberately restrained, and their access often limited. What they offer extends well beyond fitness.
Global brands are flocking to Thailand
BitesizeBKK, Published on 17/02/2026

Waitlist Warriors
BitesizeBKK, Published on 06/10/2025
» On an otherwise unremarkable Wednesday evening, your phone buzzes with the news: your table at Saeng Tha Thien has been confirmed. After three months of refreshing booking systems and nudging contacts, you're in. Relief quickly gives way to planning: the Instagram post. You picture the shot - strawberry and shrimp paste salad, a discreet glimpse of the few-table dining room, and Wat Arun glowing across the river. You might tag the restaurant in the corner of your story; you might not. Either way, the message is the same: you made it.
