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: Marco and Jerry-Richard (JR) Margolis from WonderWave
“Beyond the Clouds: Local AI, Openclaw and Data Sovereignty”AI is quickly moving from simple chatbots to systems that remember our work, use tools and run agents. But most of that memory, data and control still lives inside somebody else’s cloud.
For businesses, the question goes beyond where a model runs. Who owns the company’s accumulated knowledge? What information may leave its systems? Who approves an agent’s actions? How can teams review what happened afterward? Companies are often forced to choose between powerful cloud platforms they do not fully control and fragmented local tools that are difficult to manage.
Marco and JR will examine the current state of local AI, what can run on consumer and enterprise hardware, where cloud models still have an advantage, and how both can work together while keeping sensitive data under organizational control.
The presentation will also demonstrate Velociti, a local-first AI workspace designed to bring models, memory, tools, agents, permissions and audit records into one controlled environment. The argument is simple. Models and providers will change, but personal data, company knowledge and operational authority should remain with the people and organizations that created them.
