Atsuko Okatsuka brings her brand-new stand-up world tour, The Big Bowl Tour, to Bangkok for one night at Union Hall on Friday 27 November 2026.
The award-winning comedian and actress makes her Thailand debut after a sold-out global run, bringing the dry timing, offbeat storytelling, and unmistakable bowl-cut energy that made her HBO special The Intruder and Disney+/Hulu special FATHER international talking points.
Make it an easy Bangkok comedy night from Public House Bangkok: stay in Sukhumvit 31, connect across town to Union Hall, then come back for late drinks and a city stay with room to reset the next morning.

Spirits Melt to Flesh is a group exhibition at Bangkok Kunsthalle, bringing together eight Asian artists under the curatorial direction of Sam I-shan.
The exhibition responds to Bangkok Kunsthalle’s cavernous former warehouse through moving image, sound, sculpture, and photography. Time Out Bangkok describes the show as an experience visitors listen to, feel, and move through — not simply something to view from a distance.
Make it a Bangkok art day from Public House Bangkok: visit Bangkok Kunsthalle near Hua Lamphong, explore Chinatown and Talat Noi, then return to Sukhumvit 31 for dinner and drinks.

This year’s theme, “ดอกไม้กระจายยิ้ม”, celebrates flowers as more than decoration. Across the market, floral works reinterpret the neighbourhood through art, craft, installations, workshops, and experiences designed to spread joy through the community.

For one weekend this July, Bangkok’s literary pulse moves to the streets. Bangkok Book District Fest 2026 returns on 25–26 July 2026, taking over the historic lanes of Phra Nakhon to celebrate the enduring power of print, independent publishing, and neighbourhood culture.
This is not a typical corporate book fair packed into an exhibition hall. Instead, it is an open-air, multi-venue festival woven through heritage alleyways, old shophouses, independent bookstores, creative spaces, and Bangkok’s storied printing quarter.
Centred around areas such as Phan Fa, Wang Burapha, Fueang Nakhon, Sao Chingcha, Tha Tien, and Nang Loeng, the festival is one of the most characterful things to do in Bangkok in July 2026 for readers, writers, designers, travellers, and anyone interested in the city’s creative districts.
At Public House Bangkok, we believe a neighbourhood is defined by the stories it keeps. Bangkok Book District Fest is the perfect opportunity to dive into Bangkok’s independent bookstores, creative subcultures, small presses, and street-level literary life — then grab a coffee, follow a venue trail, and lose yourself in print.
Planning to spend the weekend diving into the festival? Book your stay directly at Public House Bangkok in Sukhumvit 31 to keep the inspiration going. After a day of book hunting in Old Town, unwind with social comfort food at SWD, or sip a properly made classic cocktail at Open Bar while you flip through your new finds.
Plus, direct bookings receive a complimentary Neighbourhood Scene activity to round out your weekend in Bangkok.
Step outside the traditional boundaries of fashion and immerse yourself in a rare dialogue of craft, form, and contemporary Thai art. Weaving Matter and Memory is a landmark Bangkok art exhibition born from a collaboration between Bangkok Kunsthalle and Bottega Veneta, the Italian luxury house revered for timeless design and generational craftsmanship since 1966.
The exhibition draws its core inspiration from Intrecciato, Bottega Veneta’s signature leather-weaving motif. Rather than treating “the weave” only as a leatherwork technique, the showcase reinterprets it as a conceptual language: a way to connect materials, human stories, embodied labour, and personal memory into a profound narrative tapestry.
Curated by Somsuda Piamsumrit, the exhibition is set inside the beautifully weathered industrial walls of Bangkok Kunsthalle near Hua Lamphong, at the historic Thai Wattana Panich Printing House. For travellers looking for things to do in Bangkok, this is a quietly powerful cultural stop: free to enter, deeply local, and close to Chinatown, Talat Noi, and Bangkok’s old-town creative scene.
This is not a fashion exhibition. It is a slow, multi-layered exploration of art, memory, material culture, and tactile transformation. It mirrors Bottega Veneta’s philosophy: true luxury is rarely loud. It is found in the meticulous layers of storytelling, craft, time, and touch.
Guests staying at Public House Bangkok in Sukhumvit 31 can reach Hua Lamphong and Bangkok Kunsthalle by taxi or via BTS/MRT connections, making it easy to pair the exhibition with a day exploring Chinatown, Talat Noi, Charoen Krung, riverside galleries, and Bangkok’s contemporary art scene.
The 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) will take place in Bangkok, Thailand from 12–18 October 2026, with the main venue at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC).
For delegates, advisors, media teams, consultants, and business travellers attending the meetings, Public House Bangkok offers a boutique stay in Sukhumvit 31 with easy access to QSNCC, Phrom Phong BTS, Sukhumvit MRT connections, EmSphere, Benchasiri Park, restaurants, cafés, and Bangkok’s central business districts.
By car or taxi: QSNCC is a short drive from Public House Bangkok via the Sukhumvit / Asok / Ratchadaphisek area. Travel time depends on traffic, so delegates should allow extra time during peak meeting hours.
By BTS and MRT: guests can travel from Phrom Phong BTS to Asok BTS, connect to Sukhumvit MRT, then ride one stop to Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre MRT Station, which connects directly to the venue area.
Our front desk can help suggest the best route based on the day’s schedule, traffic conditions, and any official transport arrangements announced for delegates.
The IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings bring together finance ministers, central bank governors, development leaders, economists, private sector representatives, civil society, media, and global policy professionals. With Bangkok expected to be busy throughout the week, delegates should book accommodation early and consider staying in an area with both transport convenience and space to decompress.
Public House Bangkok is also close to EmSphere, EmQuartier, Emporium, and many restaurants suitable for business dinners or informal meetings. For guests extending their trip, the hotel is a comfortable starting point for exploring Bangkok’s dining, art, wellness, and neighbourhood culture.
Public House Bangkok is not an official hotel or partner of the IMF, the World Bank Group, or the 2026 Annual Meetings. This page is an independent accommodation and neighbourhood guide for travellers attending the event.

Wandering Folk Irish Singers Nights: A Celebration of Story, Song, and Community
There is a distinct magic when a room full of strangers comes together to share an honest story through song. At Public House, we are bringing that exact, intimate energy to Sukhumvit 31 with the Wandering Folk Irish Singers Nights.
This isn't your typical loud pub gig. Instead, it is a curated acoustic evening dedicated to the heart of traditional Irish music: raw storytelling, powerful harmonies, and the universal warmth of a shared melody.
Rooted in the timeless Irish tradition of a “singing circle,” Wandering Folk strips away the heavy production and brings the music right to your table. Consequently, the boundary between performer and audience dissolves, inviting you to listen closely, sing along, and truly belong to the room.
