Spooktacular ways to celebrate Halloween

Halloween is soon upon us. Here are a few celebration choices, ranging from family-friendly to frighteningly delicious feasts.

It feels good to be bad At The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon 

It’s all treats and no tricks at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon at its special Halloween edition of Not Your Standard Bingo night. Taking place on Oct 29 at The Parlor, the Halloween edition bingo will feature parlour games, tarot reading and special prizes for the best Halloween costumes. 

Mac Cosmetics will set up shop starting from 8pm with professional make-up artists transforming skins into a ghostly pallor or adding strategically placed gashes to bring everyone’s Halloween costumes to life. The most bone-chilling outfits stand to win exciting prizes, including overnight stays at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon and dining vouchers, so going big is highly encouraged.   

A tarot-reading session, for those not afraid of peering into the future, will take place at Tease between 8-10pm, while the main event — the game of spooky bingo — will kick off at 9pm once all the bloody, ghostly and ghastly characters have assembled. With Patcha as the night’s caller and host, guests can expect a slasher of a game. 

Tickets to ‘Not Your Standard Bingo – Halloween Edition’ are priced at B650 net per person, including all activities and two Halloween cocktails. Ticket can be purchased via bit.ly/3TiCaif. Line: @thestandardbangkok.
