About Iraqi Food: 

Fun Fact: The world’s oldest “cookbooks” were discovered in Iraq as stone tablets dating back to 1700 B.C. As a thriving center of ancient civilizations, Iraq’s culinary history brims with delicious recipes. These days, Iraqi meals begin with appetizers and salads, known as mezza. Main courses center around rice and meat. Hungry? Your hosts look forward to sharing a homemade Iraqi meal with you! 

About Your Hosts: 

Sabreen was forcibly displaced due to the region’s instability. In 2013, when the militant organization Islamic State (ISIS) attacked her city, she fled to Bangkok. Diana was persecuted in Baghdad due to her religious beliefs. The violence and intimidation from the Mahdi Army prompted her family to seek refuge in Thailand. Thanks to culinary training, they are reclaiming their independence and identity.

A book in hand. Fellow readers around. A new chapter has begun at theCOMMONS. Our Reading Party invites you to enjoy quiet reading moments with a social spirit. This addition to our story was inspired by theWHOLESOME Book Club. The difference is that our Reading Party offers a more relaxed vibe. No deadlines. No discussions. No assigned reading. Just curling up with a book in our community space. You can reserve a spot or join spontaneously. BYOB (Bring Your Own Book) or borrow ours. Let’s read in good company.

Ready to shake things up? Grab a seat at the bar as 1923’s experts teach us the art of the highball. We’ll learn how to combine simple ingredients (whisky, soda, ice) with time-honored techniques to craft a highball. Of course, we’ll raise a few glasses, too! Then, it’s your turn to stir, pour, and taste one for yourself.

All Kinds is bringing the farm to the city—one Sunday at a time. Join us at theCOMMONS Thonglor for our very first All Kinds x Sookjai Farmers’ Market, where baskets overflow with fresh organic produce, stories from the soil, and goods that are good for you and the planet. We’re All Kinds—a retail space that connects kind brands with kind people. Usually, you'll find us on the 1st floor curating daily essentials from purpose-driven brands. But now, we’re stepping outside to host a brand new market experience—one that celebrates community, conscious living, and our local roots. This market is made possible through our special partnership with Sookjai Market—a warm-hearted community initiative from Nakhon Pathom that focuses on building a platform for organic farming and local connection. Together, we’re planting the seeds of a greener, more mindful Bangkok.
