Bangkok feels a little more interesting than usual this weekend. There is live art built around sea salt and survival at Jim Thompson Art Center, a free exhibition at River City that turns inner fears into something strangely human, a music-and-T-shirt festival that is likely to swallow half a day at QSNCC, an art fair spread through hotel rooms in Sukhumvit, and a Friday-night conversation event for anyone who wants something more thoughtful than the usual dinner plan.
If last weekend’s Bangkok Pride parade and Anime Festival Asia set a high bar, this one holds its own.

Date & time: Saturday, June 6 at 7pm; Sunday, June 7 at 2pm and 7pm
Location: Jim Thompson Art Center
Price: 600 baht general admission, 400 baht for students
This is the kind of event that makes a weekend in Bangkok feel a little less predictable. Kluea Samut brings live performance, sculpture, and movement together to explore sea salt as labour, memory, spirituality, and survival, drawing on the salt fields of Samut Songkhram. The setting matters too. Jim Thompson Art Center already suits work that feels thoughtful and a little experimental, and this sounds like something that will land much more strongly in person than it ever could on a screen.
What makes it especially worth seeing is that the work does not just sit still. The project combines Teerapon Sisang’s wire-and-salt forms with movement design by Kawin Pichitkul, creating what the organisers describe as living sculptures. That gives it a more physical and immersive quality than a standard exhibition visit, and a bit more emotional pull too. Museum of Monsters

Date & time: Daily, 10am to 8pm, running until June 21
Location: RCB Galleria 5, 3rd Floor, River City Bangkok
Price: Free entry
Museum of Monsters is a good reminder that not every weekend plan has to be bright and easy to be worth doing. On paper, the title sounds dramatic, but the exhibition is really more about the things people carry around inside themselves — fear, doubt, wounds, and the messier parts of being human. That makes it feel more reflective than frightening, and probably more relatable than the name first suggests.
The fact that it is free makes it very easy to slot into a day around the river. River City is already one of those places that works well when you do not want to rush, and this gives the weekend list something a little moodier and more unusual without turning it into hard work. CAT TSHIRT 2026
