Rest in peace at Sunday’s free outdoor concert in a Bangkok graveyard

Bangkok has resurrected an outdoor music concert series, and this weekend it heads to one of the city’s least-lively locations.

Hear a percussion ensemble, symphony ensemble and more perform in a century-old graveyard for the Chinese diaspora located near the central business district just off lower Sathorn Road.

“There will be thousands and tens of thousands of people lying underground who will be listening to us,” said Chadchart Sittipunt, Bangkok’s newly elected governor and apparent goth. “We’ll regard them as our elders and enjoy the event in a respectful way toward them.”

Admission is free. The event starts at 4pm at the Teochew Association’s Wat Don Cemetery, which is located in Soi Charoen Rat 3 in Bangkok’s Sathorn District.
