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.

Why we need walkable cities
Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 21/03/2026
» Morning work commutes in Bangkok are tackled like olympian tasks. For some, it's a trudge down a narrow soi, followed by a motorbike taxi serpentining through traffic, leading to a transfer onto the BTS or MRT. Especially ambitious commutes may end with a walk across a skywalk or through a shopping complex before reaching the office. What looks like a straightforward commute on a map instead looks like a series of compromises one makes with the city.
A wander through pink hotel rooms

» We've all been there. You've paced all seven floors, had coffee breaks until you're full and stared at enough mannequins to last a lifetime. Bangkok moves at a rapid speed, and sometimes the "mall crawl" leaves you craving a quiet corner and a chance to actually make something rather than just buy it.
