Bangkok island

Bangkok island is an event promoter and floating venue based in Bangkok, Thailand. It began in 2012, when founder Yuval Schwok turned a barge used to carry sand into an event space on the Chao Phraya River; Schwok directs its events and creative programme. The four-deck boat has indoor and outdoor stages, a capacity of 300, and can host events while docked or cruising, with up to two stages operating at once.

Its programme ranges from DJ nights and live concerts to art performances, cultural festivals, markets and workshops. Past events have mixed techno, reggae, house and rock, while recurring nights include Terra Canta, which pairs world music with electronic music, and Bangkok Indie Club, a weekly rock and indie session. Community Wednesday brings DJs, producers and music fans together for open decks and meet-ups; Sunday activities have included flea markets, salsa lessons and yoga. Artists booked include Redeyes, POKOLENIE MIKROZAYMOV, Sam Laxton and Crackercrunch.
