About us
Code, make, learn, and share knowledge every month in Bangkok, free of charge. Any level, any language.
For over a decade we've fostered a welcoming cross-cultural community of hackers in and around BKK. Come learn a new technology, take your first steps into programming, build a device, work on your hobby project, share what you know, or just meet local peers. In a relaxed but hands-on setting.
"Hacker" can be an intimidating term—don't let it be, it's really just about curiosity, and trying things.
This Meetup group focuses on participatory events—hacking is doing, not listening to presentations. Bring your own projects, a book or course to work through, contribute to open source together, ask questions you encounter in your day job or study.
Rally for your hack ideas
If you've got an idea for something you want to make or learn about, post it on the list for our upcoming meetup—maybe someone else is into your idea too. If you have questions or want to introduce yourself, try our chat on Gitter anytime.
Wondering if you need some background knowledge?
First-timer wondering how to get started with programming? Or a new language? We have prepared a resources repository to help give you ideas of where to start. Coming to hack nights with a little bit of background preparation will help you get the most out of hands-on practice time and asking peers for help with questions you've come across.

This month: “AI-Ready Data for Spec-Driven Development”
presented by Professor Dr. Roland Petrasch.Often, we build AI applications 'around' an LLM - but we should be building them 'around' data.
Spec-driven development for AI applications must specify more than code behavior - it must specify the data the AI processes, since the application's core function (e.g., fact extraction from legal documents) depends on it.
This presentation argues that data quality requirements belong in the specification itself, alongside functional and architectural requirements: what input data is acceptable, what quality thresholds apply, and how input and reference data are measured.
It examines the architectural decisions that follow from these DQ requirements - RAG, RAG-graph, ontologies, taxonomies, knowledge graphs, hypergraphs, semantic data models, dynamic routing, judge patterns, and result merging - and how each implies different data quality demands.
The presentation redefines what "data quality" means in the AI/LLM era, moving beyond classical DQ dimensions to address relevance, groundedness, and fitness for generative use.
Attendees can gain hands-on experience and leave with a practical set of questions for their AI application specifications and a framework for selecting an architecture based on data quality requirements - not the other way around.
