Will you ‘Capture Bangkok'?
Get your cameras ready, Bangkok! Time Out is thrilled to launch its inaugural 'Capture Bangkok' Photography Challenge, a city-wide call for your most stunning, evocative and unique images of the capital.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or a passionate amateur, this is your chance to showcase your vision and have your work celebrated.
In a megalopolis that pulses with a chaotic, and beautiful rhythm, every corner holds a story waiting to be told. From the serene temples of the Old Town to the dizzying heights of its modern skyscrapers, the frantic energy of its markets to the quiet moments of daily life, we want to see Bangkok through your eyes.
You voted, the world listened
Earlier this year, Bangkok was crowned the planet's second-best city by Time Out. That global recognition inspired 'Capture Bangkok.' This is more than a competition – it's a city-wide celebration of the talent and stories hiding in plain sight. We're inviting you to pound the pavement, explore the hidden sois, and capture the images that truly define Bangkok for you.
How to enter

An exhibition in a historic setting

Cape Town shines as global diversity hotspot
South Africans have long known that our cities are cultural crossroads - a mix of traditions, identities, languages and lived experiences that shape everything from our food to our festivals. Now, the world agrees. In Time Out's annual global city survey of over 18,000 people across 50 cities, Cape Town and Johannesburg have been jointly ranked ninth on the list of the world's most diverse and inclusive cities, according to locals. The list, topped by London, celebrates cities where people feel welcomed, represented and free to be themselves - and we're proud to be a beacon of belonging in the Global South. These are the most diverse and inclusive cities in the world London, UK Melbourne, Australia Brighton, UK = New York, USA Los Angeles, USA Chicago, USA Madrid, Spain Barcelona, Spain Bangkok, Thailand Johannesburg, South Africa= Cape Town, South Africa Montreal, Canada= Medellin, Colombia= Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia= San Francisco, USA What Makes Cape Town a Standout? Cape Town's inclusion on the list is a testament to its layered identity - beautiful and complex, shaped by centuries of cultural collision, resistance and reinvention. Here are three ways the Mother City is embodying a more inclusive spirit: 1. A Living Archive of Resistance and Representation From Robben Island to District Six, Cape Town's historical landmarks are not just tourist stops, but powerful reminders of struggle, displacement and the fight for dignity. Today, this legacy lives on in grassroots organisations, activist-led art spaces, and community museums that centre marginalised voices. 2. LGBTQ+ visibility and safer spaces Cape Town has long been known as South Africa's 'pink capital'. The list is a nod to the cities queer-friendly nightlife, inclusive events like Cape Town Pride, and safe spaces that range from community centres to cutting-edge drag shows. Ongoing work by local LGBTQ+ groups also pushes beyond visibility into advocacy and healthcare access in our city. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cape Town Pride (@capetownpride) 3. Cultural Neighbourhoods pushing artistic accessibility Each suburb tells its own story: the Cape Malay heritage of Bo-Kaap, the Afro-centric pride in Langa and Khayelitsha, and the coastal charm of communities like Muizenberg and Kalk Bay, where surf culture and township-run coffee shops co-exist. These layers are what make Cape Town's cultural landscape both challenging and extraordinary. Also, inclusive theatre productions at Artscape and the Baxter Theatre and contemporary African art at Zeitz MOCCA adds to the events designed to be accessible across income brackets and mobility levels. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Baxter (@baxtertheatre) A shared Honour with Jozi! Johannesburg's equal ranking comes as no surprise. Known as the country's financial engine and cultural nerve centre, the city pulses with Afro-urban energy, youth-led innovation and unapologetic authenticity. As cities around the world wrestle with rising inequality and cultural homogenisation, it's affirming to see two South African cities celebrated not just for their beauty or buzz - but for how they make their residents feel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out Johannesburg (@ Here at Time Out Cape Town we're excited to amplify these very aspects of our city. In our new Time Out Cape Town editorial series The Culture Edit, we're asking critical questions about the South African identity. What does inclusion look like beyond surface-level representation? And how do we avoid flattening cultures into commercial soundbites.
