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.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/EnQvksckshLE8jHZAThese events are a good chance to catch-up with friends and colleagues, and to learn about new and emerging technologies as well as classic systems and approaches.
This month: Ben Scherrey**, Founder & CTO at BiggestLab goes deep into the tech by demonstrating his new programming language that he's been working on as a side project since 2018 - ActorForth**: The Language That Compiles Itself
ActorForth is a self-hosted, strongly-typed, stack-based language on the Erlang BEAM VM where actors are primitives and type-driven dispatch delivers correctness-by-construction - every word declares its exact type transformation, and the system enforces it. Its concatenative design eliminates variable naming, nesting, and boilerplate, lowering cognitive load for both humans and LLMs: programs convey full intent in a fraction of the context conventional languages demand. Define just four types and you have your own DSL compiler. ActorForth is built for creating domain-specific languages where smart contracts and critical systems are safe by design.
A big "thank you" to our sponsor, biggestlab.io for sponsoring Pizza Mania pizzas (best in BKK) so we can enjoy the gathering event more!
