From July 18 to 26, Netflix is turning Chang car park in Song Wat into a full-scale recreation of the East Palace mansion, the eerie setting at the heart of its new supernatural period drama The East Palace. Entry is free.

Somewhere in Bangkok – or halfway around the world – there is a cinema screen where it is still 2007. Mew is 18, about to walk through Siam Square with somebody's hand in his. He does not yet know that Scala will close, that Lido will shut and return as something else entirely, or that the cassette tapes and CDs he grew up with will give way to entire music libraries carried in a pocket. He knows none of it because he never gets any older. Every time Love of Siam begins, Mew is 18 again.

Tucked into the second floor of the Kaulin Building, Loft Eyes occupies a former factory space the owners wisely chose not to over-polish. Exposed ceilings, original concrete and industrial proportions stay largely intact, softened by smaller corners and carefully arranged displays. The focus stays mainly on Thai designer fashion, curated with far more restraint than most stores that describe themselves as ‘lifestyle’ spaces.
