Living well, looking able: The quiet recalibration of BKK spending
BitesizeBKK, Published on 23/12/2025
» It is no longer difficult to imagine a good life in Bangkok. Open any social media platforma nd it appears fully formed: a steady rotation of cafes, meals, outfits and weekend plans. Nothing particularly excessive or reckless. It’s just enough spending, repeated often enough, to feel normal. The problem isn’t that this image is unrealistic; it is that it assumes continuity at a moment when many people are quietly recalculawting what continuity actually costs.
Quiet luxury isn't quiet – it's just speaking a different language

» Stand in line at any Bangkok cafe and you'll see a familiar scene: two people in nearly identical outfits – a white tee, tailored trousers, small gold hoops, a soft leather bag. One reads ‘polished', the other reads ‘casual', even though the pieces read the same on paper. The distinction isn't too loud or obvious; it's in the fall of the fabric, the weight of the jewelry, the tone of the leather. You sense the difference before you can articulate it.

» Bangkok's fix for coffee has always been prevalent, but we can't help but notice that local chains and independent roasters continue to enter the field and further cement our love of viral shops, long queues, and iced lattes. We've even gone so far as to have 10 am coffee rave parties, which is a whole other subset of things we won't get into today.

Camera eats first - How Bangkok eateries are catering to the feed
Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 23/10/2025
» At Graze BKK, a new café tucked into a quiet Phetchaburi lane, sunlight filters through glass walls onto neat rows of tables, all perfectly lit. Plates arrive styled like still lifes: a neat tangle of greens, a gleaming egg yolk, a drizzle that seems placed for symmetry rather than seasoning. Nothing here is accidental. In Bangkok 2025, restaurants don't just live or die on the Michelin Guide. They live and die on TikTok.
Green girling-Bangkok and the ever-sustainable wardrobe
Chavisa Boonpiti for BitesizeBKK, Published on 17/10/2025
» Bangkok’s fascination with sustainable fashion did not begin on Instagram, even if that is where it now thrives. Its roots stretch back to Bangsue Junction (affectionately dubbed “the Red Building”) where, under flickering fluorescent lights, teenagers once sifted through mountains of second-hand jeans, army jackets and faded band tees. Long before “upcycling” became a marketing term, this was where Bangkok’s youth learned to shape their style from what others had left behind.
