Bangkok organizes the city’s first BIG TALK
A gathering to skip the small talk and make meaningful connections

If you had 24 hours left to live, who would you be with in 23 hours? If money was no issue, how would you spend your time? What is something new you recently tried and enjoyed?

These are just some of the questions that will be shared and answered during the debut of Bangkok’s BIG TALK session titled “End of Small Talk: Bangkok Big Talk ”on March 14th at The Hive co-working space, Sukhumvit Soi 49, organised by BNOW.org, a Bangkok-based social enterprise who’s mission is to link and inspire people.

According to BNOW.org’s founder Pacharee Pantoomano, BIG TALK is a social experiment and video project started by Kalina Silverman in 2014, who wanted to see what could happen if she skipped the small talk to have deeper conversations with people instead. The emotional stories people shared with her have inspired her to work on growing BIG TALK into a global movement.

“This resonated with me. I was so inspired and motivated by the impact BIG TALK has had on communities around the world and how it connected strangers that I decided to organise one in my city,” said Pacharee.

The questions are universal, open-ended and meaningul. Any one can answer these questions which elicits more than just a yes/no response and provides an opportunity for people to hear a story. It skips the small talk and allows people to delve beneath the surface through asking these questions.

The evening will kick off with a short and engaging discussion with two Bangkok-based coaches who will explain the benefits of BIG TALK and why it should be included in our daily lives. This will be followed by guests breaking out into groups for the BIG TALK, drawing a card with a question and sharing their answer.
