Bangkok Storytelling Collective | "Moth Night"

VENUE TBD - Near Phrom Phong BTS

Doors open at 7PM, if you'd like to chat or grab a bite.

Storytelling Games start at 7:30PM sharp; please try to arrive by then!

Love a good story? So do we.

Join us for a cozy night of live storytelling and listening, inspired by The Moth, the U.S. nonprofit that champions fostering human connection through storytelling.
Check out some of their performers here!

Our community is quite diverse in age, gender, sexuality, culture & background. Our mission is to connect authentically and build a community centered on shared human experience.

We meet once a month, first to warm up with some casual on-the-spot storytelling games, then get settled in for prepared performances.

All stories (both casual and prepared) follow The Moth's style:
🔹 True, personal and told in the first person
🔹 No longer than 5 minutes long
🔹 Told from memory (no reading)
🔹 Themed around emotion, vulnerability & self-growth

Prefer to just listen?

Perfect. We're looking for eager storytellers and story-listeners! Every storyteller needs a kind, curious, and responsive audience. Your presence matters!

Whether you’re ready for 5 minutes of fame or just want to soak in others’ stories, you’ll be part of a welcoming, vibrant community built around laughter, reflection, and human connection.

Ready to take the leap?

If you do wish to prepare a 5 minute story in advance, please review The Moth's storytelling advice and this month's theme. Also, make sure to message me (Shaf, the organizer) and I'll talk you through some guidelines. Here's this month's theme:

***

OPPOSITES ATTRACT
Prepare a five-minute story about the allure of something different. The free-spirited artist to your straight-laced accountant. The early riser and the night owl. The picky eater to the adventurous foodie. Did you, the Type A planner, go on a trip with your Type B procrastinator bestie? Have you lived with a minimalist who challenged your maximalist style? "Don't think we'll ever get our differences patched. Don't really matter 'cause we're perfectly matched" -Paula Abdul
