Editor’s Note

“What sets Calypso apart from other cabarets is the sheer humanity of the performance. It isn’t just about the feathers and the glitter; it’s about the pride and talent of the performers. Pro tip: Arrive at Asiatique an hour early to ride the Ferris Wheel at sunset before heading to dinner—it makes the night truly magical.”

City Legends & Mysteries: The Ghost of Mae Nak

While Bangkok shines bright at night, it holds deep secrets. The most famous is the legend of Mae Nak Phra Khanong. During the 19th century, a woman named Nak died in childbirth while her husband was away at war. When he returned, he found her and the baby waiting for him, unaware they were ghosts. The legend says her spirit remains one of the most powerful in Thailand, representing eternal—and sometimes terrifying—devotion. You can still visit her shrine today!
