Tie the knot with someone special at Patpong Museum’s shibari class

If nothing’s tying you down next month, head to a Patpong cultural venue to learn esoteric art of Japanese rope bondage.

Become a rigger or rope bunny at the Patpong Museum, which will host two-hour sessions starting at 7pm on May 7 or 3pm on May 8. Either session is THB900 per person; couples looking to bind can join together for THB1,600.

Also known as kinbaku, or tight binding, shibari is a Japanese form of bondage which involves a person, known as the rigger, tying elaborate rope patterns around the model (or rope bunny).

While mainly used as a form of pleasure, the time and attention taken to tying knots can be meditative and foster feelings of empowerment and sexual confidence.

Attendees must be 18 and up.
