Welcome to Weekend Warrior, where we offer you a few ideas to kick-start your weekend of mayhem. Warriors, go forth.
Friday
Thirty years is a long time to party, but renowned Swedish DJ Sven Vath has been manning the turntables for that interim and more. With more than 20 albums, countless singles and God-knows-how-many late nights underneath his belt, he can at this point do more or less anything he wants. And he wants to play in Bangkok.
9pm. THB1,200. Bed Supperclub, Sukhumvit 11, Khlong Tan Nuea, Vadhana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand. BTS Nana station.
Saturday
BUKRUK Street Art Festival Opening Party
Art festivals in Bangkok don’t get much more stylish than BUKRUK, which brings in hip-hop DJs, pro skaters, parkourists and street side vendors to ply their trade on Rama 6. As Coconuts has previously averred, no festival with such a cool promo video could possibly turn out to be a bust.
5pm. Free. Rama VI Soi 9, Rong Mueang, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand. BTS Siam station.
Sponsored by the Embassy of Japan in Thailand, the Japanese Film Festival 2013 brings seven Japanese films to Terminal 21’s SF Cinema. The movies will be playing all weekend long, so check the Festival’s website and SF Cinema’s calendar for showtimes.
Various times. Free. SF Cinema at Terminal 21, Soi Watthana, Khlong Tan Nuea, Vadhana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand. BTS Asok station.
Sunday
Beervana, fine purveyors of American craft brew concoctions in Thailand, have organized this boozy brunch for the purpose of welcoming Rogue Brewery’s “Bacon Maple Ale” to the Kingdom. A bizarre beer based on an equally bizarre donut in Rogue’s home state of Oregon, the Bacon Maple Ale is a must-try for the adventurous beer connoisseur or the insane donut enthusiast.
12pm. THB1,800. Surface, Soi Renoo, Khlong Toei Nuea, Vadhana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand. BTS Thong Lo station.
Oakwood Bangkok International Rugby Tens Tourney
Drawing nearly 1,500 participants, Oakwood Rugby Tourney is THE premier rugby event in Bangkok. With both visiting pros and capable dilettantes coming to ply their trade, the tournament should offer a fantastic opportunity for passionate sportsmen and mid-day consumers of beer.
9am – 5:30pm. Free. Soi Sukhumvit 105, Bang Na, Bangkok 10260, Thailand.
