All Hallow’s Eve was made for Bangkok, where dressing provocatively to party, dance, and drink is matched only by our love of good, ghoulish frights. Turns out Halloween is on a Monday this year, which means most of the partying is set to go off Friday through Sunday.
Freak show? Haunted mansion? This is the first real Halloween in years, and Bangkok knows it.
Starting Friday
