A list of curated events in and around Bangkok to help you plan your week

Still have some energy left after the long break? There’s a lot going on this week, from moving art exhibits and adorable puppies to live jazz. Here are our picks of the week for some post-Songkran enrichment.

1/8 The Hope and Peace Collection for Ukraine

Kiev-born artist Viktoria Vorotina’s solo exhibition centers around the theme of self-realization and liberation. Her trademark acrylic artworks are found in many reputable galleries all over the world, and now the artist is using her platform to remind the world that war is still ongoing and hoping to spread awareness through her art. Proceeds from the event, including all artwork sales, will go towards charities and beneficiaries in Ukraine.
