Think Fest returns to Ari on November 27–29: planning a creative walk across 40-plus stops
The second Think Fest, Remember Me, spreads talks, workshops, installations and markets across five Ari lanes. Dates, routes and individual booking requirements need separate checks.
Bangkok’s Ari offers more than a place to find coffee: a few lanes can become a creative map. Think Fest: Remember Me will take place on November 27–29, 2026. Its second edition connects more than 40 locations through talks, workshops, art installations, book gatherings and markets. The format is “creative hopping,” rather than every programme inside one exhibition hall. First-time visitors will find it more useful to choose activities and then a route than to rush from the beginning to the end.
How can five lanes become your own route?
The announced area includes Ari Soi 1, 2, 3, 4 North and 5 South, with BTS Ari Exit 3 the nearest transport entry point. Pay attention to the north and south branches: not every Soi 4 and Soi 5 location sits along one continuous straight line. Mark essential events on the organiser’s map first, then connect neighbouring stops to reduce repeated journeys between lane entrances.
For half a day, start with a talk or class at a fixed time, then place freely viewable installations, bookshops and stalls before and after it. For a full day, leave room for meals and breaks rather than treating all 40-plus stops as a completion list. Late opening, seating and daily capacity depend on each programme’s actual arrangements.
Remember Me is about a neighbourhood, beyond a list
The theme turns attention to people’s memories of Ari, allowing everyday cafés, restaurants and creators’ spaces to host new conversations. Compared with a large exhibition hall, a dispersed format more easily includes street turns, shop scale and the neighbourhood’s existing pace. This observation comes from the event’s structure; it does not mean every participating business offers identical content.
BrandThink launched the first edition this May under Everybody Changes; this return moves closer to neighbourhood and personal memory. Earlier event photographs provide a sense of atmosphere, not documentation of the November edition that has yet to happen. The useful first question is whether to learn a skill, hear a conversation or simply walk and see work, rather than letting an event title decide the whole itinerary.
Ari storefronts and an installation offer context for a creative walk.
Check opening hours, tickets and workshops separately
The announced overall hours are 10am to midnight each day, but that does not mean every shop or workshop operates for all 14 hours. Follow official BrandThink and Think Fest information for the complete programme and updates. The overview does not confirm fees, reservations, teaching languages or age conditions for every activity, so the entire festival should not be described as uniformly free.

Before leaving, note fixed-time events separately from drop-in activities and keep an indoor alternative for rain. These lanes still contain ordinary homes and businesses, so follow local rules for photographs, stopping and queues. Think Fest’s appeal is a walk that connects to ideas and people as well as the next shop. One or two meaningful stops may answer Remember Me more closely than chasing the entire list.
