You probably first fell in love with Bangkok because it’s fast-paced and crazy. Adrenaline lovers can do whatever they want whenever they want in the City of Angels. But sometimes this old town gets so damn hectic that you wanna leave and never come back. Siam BTS Station at 6pm on a weekday comes to mind.
Fortunately, there’s a good opportunity to downshift your manic urban existance into an idle pace this weekend!
This Saturday, SC ASSET invites you to join SlowFest at Airport Link Makkasan Station in the heart of Bangkok. “FARM RAK” is the theme, and as thus you can expect a mélange of selected stores offering hand-crafted products, workshops that focus on well-being and the good life, and music that will get you moving… at a leisurely pace of course.
This also is a good chance to spend time with your friends and family and cultivate a sense of community.
