If you’re ever in Bangkok and you like film at alllll, even just a little, you need to visit the Thai Film Archive. 🤩
Top-tier, dreamy, free rainy day educational escapism. Gorgeous library, stunning archives 🎞️ and tons of cool cultural history. Khob kun mak ma, Khun Name, for the guided tour!! 🙏🏽 🤯 I learned so much.
Got a long list of films to watch🍿 check out their YouTube channel too 🤓

Singing with Joe Bataan again this year was, always is, a JOY!! 🤩 @therealjoebataan ❤️🔥
I first auditioned to do his backing vocals in 2012 for @malasimbofestival . I didn’t stick a knife in the piano 🔪 🎹 (which is how Joe commandeered his first band 😅) but I was pretty insistent I had to get this gig because I loved love his music so much. 💃🏾
Mix of beautiful memories here from rehearsals and gigs in The Philippines & UK @thejazzcafe@officialronnies@weoutherefest 🎉
Thank you, Joe! Thank you, Yvonne! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 you guys are my favourite tio & tia for real ♾️ Maraming salamat to the o.g Manila massive & the incredible musicians I’ve met here in London 💥
Thanks for pics & vids @flipthescriptbook@rubysound@eripolitan chouchou @j.p_bimeni_mudibu 💜
