From vinyl-backed coffee bars and easygoing neighbourhood eateries to relaxed hangouts and a museum experience with a twist, Bangkok’s latest openings invite you to slow down and explore something new.
Fimue Groove Station brings the energy of its much-loved Chiang Mai outpost to Bangkok, settling on Sukhumvit 46 across two floors.
Downstairs centres on coffee and conversation, with a resident DJ spinning vinyl that lends the room a cosy hum.
Upstairs, the mood turns more contemplative, with rotating art displays and thoughtfully curated objects that invite slow browsing.
Expect well-made coffee, comforting baked goods, vintage finds, crafted homewares, and, as evening falls, an easy transition into analogue sound sessions that feel more ritual than laser beams.

Perched along Saladaeng 1, Fav. Bangkok is designed to feel exactly like its name suggests, a place you return to without overthinking it.
Pet-friendly and easygoing, the space has the warmth of a neighbourhood hangout.
Founded by Jiyoon and Kai, seasoned creators with culinary roots spanning Korean, American, and Mediterranean influences, expect addictive bites, plates made for sharing, and an atmosphere that encourages stillness, whether you arrive with friends, a laptop, or a four-legged companion.

Glom Multicultural, tucked away on Bearing 2 Alley, is the kind of neighbourhood spot that rewards curiosity.
Its name comes from “glom-glaum” (กลมกล่อม), a term that speaks to balance and well-rounded flavour, an idea that carries through the menu’s East-meets-West approach.
The atmosphere is relaxed, making it an easy choice for conversations over drinks and shared plates, particularly in the often-overlooked Bangna area.
The bar and bistro menu is divided neatly into snacks, spicy dishes, proteins, and raw offerings, all designed for mixing and matching.

Set within Asiatique The Riverfront, the Thainosaur Museum puts a fresh spin on natural history in Bangkok.
The space brings together Thailand’s prehistoric heavyweights, with a collection of Thai dinosaur fossils, all carefully curated and verified by palaeontologists.
Rather than a traditional museum walk-through, the experience feels immersive and visually driven, pairing ancient skeletal forms with the bold, imaginative works of local artist Thaiwijit Puengkasemsomboon.
A curious crawl for young minds, art lovers, and anyone looking for something roaring by the river.
