What we’re about

A COMMUNITY OF STORY LOVERS
Love a good story? So do we! We're trying to build a vibrant community of storytellers and story-listeners in Bangkok, inspired by The Moth, the renowned U.S.-based nonprofit that celebrates the art of true, personal storytelling. Check out some of their stories here!

Our goal? To create a space where people can connect, share, and listen to real-life stories—whether hilarious, heartwarming, or profound. Don't like being the center of attention? That's fine too! Our storytellers need kinda, responsive and encouraging audience members to help them grow their storytelling skills!

WHAT TO EXPECT
We'll kick things off with casual, interactive events to bring storytellers (and story lovers) together:
🔹 Meet & Mingle – Plenty of time before and after performances to make friends & build community
🔹 Storytelling Games – Casual storytelling opportunities for non-performers
🔹 StorySlams & Workshops – Test out new stories and refine them with feedback.

THE BIG GOAL: MONTHLY STORYSLAMS
Once we grow our community, we’ll host StorySLAMs—live, open-mic storytelling competitions inspired by The Moth. Anyone can take the stage and share a true, personal, 5-minute story based on the night’s theme. No notes allowed—it’s all about telling, not reading!
How it works:
✅ Up to 10 volunteer storytellers are chosen at random.
✅ Each story is judged by audience volunteers on a scale of 1 to 10.
✅ Highest score wins the night!

Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or just love to listen, come join us! Let’s build a community where meaningful stories create lasting connections.

Bangkok Storytelling Collective | "Moth Night"
Treehouse Cafe and Bar, 20 Soi Sukhumvit 31, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Bangkok, TH
🎤 Looking for eager storytellers and story-listeners!
No pressure—if the spotlight’s not your thing, we still want you there. This is meant to be a casual Moth Night!

Love a good story? So do we.
Join us for a cozy night of live storytelling and listening, inspired by The Moth, the beloved U.S. nonprofit that champions true, personal stories told aloud.

We're still getting off the ground, so we'll mostly be sitting in small groups and playing storytelling card games - super casual, no preparation required!

Prefer to just listen? Perfect. Every storyteller needs a kind, curious, and responsive audience. Your presence matters!

Whether you’re ready to be the center of attention or just want to soak in others’ stories, you’ll be part of a welcoming, vibrant community built around laughter, reflection, and human connection.

If you do want to prepare a 5 minute story in advance, here's this months theme:

🎯 This Month’s Theme: UNDERDOG
Prepare a five-minute story about the slingshot that took down Goliath. Dark horses, Cinderella stories, or miracles on the ice. Tales of when the odds were stacked, the system was rigged, and the little guy came out on top. Or, perhaps you were the top dog and found yourself eating humble pie. The scrappy team that took home the championship ring, rising up against the powers that be, and the little engine that could. Go get 'em!

🕖 EVENT SCHEDULE
7:00 – 7:30PM — Doors Open
Arrive, grab a seat, and meet some fellow story lovers.
7:30 – 8:30PM — Storytelling Games
Warm up with fun, casual storytelling prompts in small groups—no performance pressure!
8:30 – 9:00PM — Prepared Story Performances
Anyone that has their UNDERDOG story prepared can share their five-minute stories out loud (no reading!)
9:00PM onward — Unwind & Reflect
Stick around, connect, and chat about what moved you—or what made you laugh.

***

Whether you’re a seasoned storyteller or just love to listen, come be part of something special. Let’s build a community where stories spark connection, meaning, and maybe a little magic.

We'll be upstairs on the 2nd floor at Treehouse Cafe. Come find Shaf if it's your first time :)
