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.

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.
Shopping malls as Bangkok's cultural thermometer
BitesizeBKK, Published on 19/02/2026
» Bangkok’s shopping malls serve as a cultural litmus test. Step out of your TikTok and Instagram feed for a quick minute, and take a walk around the multi-leveled floors of Emquartier, take the escalators up and down Dusit Central Park, and a peek at the ground floor of Siam Paragon and it’ll be a very telling test of which brands are working, what’s attracting queues and who’s on their way out.
Bangkok’s parks are getting a new lease on life
BitesizeBKK, Published on 14/01/2026
» Lately, we’ve been noticing a subtle shift across Bangkok’s sprawling urban parks. The city’s green spaces are no longer just for early-morning joggers or weekend tai chi sessions. From interactive playgrounds designed with children in mind to dedicated areas where dogs can roam freely, Bangkok’s parks are becoming more social, inclusive, and reflective of how city dwellers actually live today.
