Good grief! A massive Snoopy exhibition is coming to Bangkok
From comic strips to animation, Snoopy has trotted his way into the hearts of millions to become the world's most famous beagle. For more than seven decades, this daydreaming pup and his gang have made people smile across generations and Thailand is no exception. This year, as Peanuts turns 75, the nation joins the festivities with How Do You Do, Snoopy? 75 Years: A Journey of Friendship Through Art. Taking place from September 6-December 7, River City Bangkok will wag its tail with a Snoopy showcase. Four immersive zones will display original works by 25 artists and creative designs from 24 leading fashion brands. There are also more than 50 archival treasures from classic comic strips to beloved animated moments, giving Thai fans an unprecedented deep dive into the character's world. And to mark its debut, the exhibition will also exhibit works by 10 local artists, including 2Choey, Mackcha and Munins, who bring the world of Peanuts to life in all sorts of playful and surprising ways, including paintings and sculptures. But it's not just about looking. A whole lineup of fun activities and interactive experiences await visitors. At the press conference, River City Bangkok surprised everyone with a giant Snoopy balloon floating into the venue on a boat, hinting that there's more to come. This year, Thailand has witnessed a variety of international exhibitions, such as Japanese animation and large-scale installations. However, what makes this one different is how it brings together Thai and international artists to interpret the Peanuts story. Each artist offers their perspective, giving visitors the chance to see familiar faces like Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang in new and unexpected ways.

Soul sensation Mayer Hawthorne to perform at Centerpoint Studio
Get ready to groove to the soulful beats of Mayer Hawthorne as he brings his distinctive blend of vintage soul, R&B, and modern funk to Bangkok's Centerpoint Studio on Aug 21. Renowned as a 21st-century soul sensation, Mayer Hawthorne promises an unforgettable evening filled with timeless hits and infectious charisma. Blending classic Motown soul with elements of R&B, modern funk, and pop, Hawthorne has carved out a niche all his own since bursting onto the scene in the late 2000s. With critically acclaimed albums like A Strange Arrangement (2009), How Do You Do (2011), and Man About Town (2016), Hawthorne has captivated audiences around the world with his velvet-smooth vocals, tight production, and a stage presence that channels the golden era of soul with a contemporary twist. Known for hit songs like The Walk, Just Ain't Gonna Work Out, and A Long Time, Hawthorne's music is steeped in rich influences -- Smokey Robinson, Barry White, Curtis Mayfield and the sweet soul of 1970s Detroit. His sound is nostalgic yet refreshing, often described as a bridge between the past and the future of soul music. With millions of streams and a loyal global fanbase, he remains one of the most talk-about in the new soul revival movement. Born Andrew Mayer Cohen in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Hawthorne grew up with his ears glued to the car radio, absorbing the soul, funk, and jazz classics that defined the Midwest music scene. That deep musical heritage became the foundation of his artistry -- and he has since built a career around reviving the emotion, elegance, and spirit of that era, with a tongue-in-cheek swagger that makes his performances unmissable. His live shows are where the magic truly happens. Whether it's the effortless falsetto, the sharply tailored suits, or the playful between-song banter, Mayer Hawthorne knows how to keep an audience engaged. Expect a night full of upbeat rhythms, romantic slow jams, and crowd sing-alongs -- all delivered with a retro flair that turns every performance into a dance party from another decade.
