Most Saturdays in Bangkok come with a brunch booking, a pop-up market in Ari, an exhibition opening across town and a phone that buzzes through the lot. Under the Tree Club asks far less of you.

The idea comes from YEP Academy, an outdoor learning outfit based in Phnom Penh, and the first session is on October 3. You arrive at 3.30pm with a book you love, pick a patch of grass under one of Lumphini’s wide rain trees and settle down beside strangers doing the same. Nobody expects small talk and nobody minds whether you’ve brought Murakami or manga.
