Spaces to connect
Each reassembly of Solar
Village provides an
architectural and musical
center guided by
the sun
The geometric structure was first introduced to The Fields in 2017 as Solar Stage by Gregg Fleishman, and assembled by his artist team, volunteers, local builders and members of Team Wonderfruit. During our sunrise dance and performance rituals, it draws a large audience of early risers and those still awake.
Solar Village has always been strategically positioned as our space in The Fields to gather and connect with the sun’s first and last light—both at our previous location and when we moved to the new land in 2018.
The concept of modular building came to The Fields in the form of a playground in 2015. In all its incarnations, Solar Village invites a similar sense of play, with handles to climb, spaces to lie down and plenty of pockets to snuggle in.
In 2023, the honeycomb structure expanded into a village of pod networks and satellites, evolving from a tower to wings embracing a central space. Here, people connect through performances and rituals prompted by sunrises and sunsets.
Forbidden Fruit, our naughty boudoir, welcomes everyone
Through the years, our late-night venues invited Wonderers to dance and be wild. Here, we heard house and disco, soul and funk and everything in between from across the world, inviting us to groove together to the purveyors of these sounds.
Forbidden Fruit has hosted performances from artists like Thai drag queen Pangina Heals, Bangkok’s united queer dance party GO GRRRLS, dance music pioneer François K, global veteran Colleen “Cosmo” Murphy and explorations of dance and drag with GenderFunk x Peach. Takeovers introduced high-vibing and diverse sounds, from our friends from Japan's Rainbow Disco Club and France’s Ed Banger Records, as well as allowing a space to showcase local and regional collaborations.
In 2017, a nest of bamboo welcomed Wonderers in a cozy boudoir filled with hues of reds. Soft pillows and an intimate dance floor hosted campy, quirky self-expressions. Over the following years, our boudoir has slowly opened up to The Fields, evolving into a lantern-lit pavilion in 2023.
In 2024, Forbidden Fruit transformed once more, finding a new home on a gentle slope. Fabric folds rise and fall, guiding Wonderers down to an unobstructed view of a lotus pond where they could dance and lounge amidst the flowers.
Whimsical explorations of
music, movement
and light
continue in Living Village
First named Living Stage, our musical and cultural venue has been home to live performances since our very first edition in 2014. Designers and artists reimagined the venue as monolithic tributes to sustainability, including Joel Stockdill and Adam Pollina.
In 2019, the land itself was shaped into a living body by Ab Rogers Design, renamed Living Village.
Seated in the curve of Living Village’s ‘ear’ is the main performance space, Creature Stage—designed as a human eye, with a waving fringe of vibrantly-colored ‘lashes’. In the ‘hand’, workshops and activities transformed trash into art. Wonderers replenished themselves with drinks at the ‘tongue’.
Communities continue to meet here for live dance performances, acts and music—all against a backdrop of evolving visuals.
Theatre of Eats connected Wonderers through culinary experiences
Our banqueting venue first sprung to life from the minds of Design Qua studio in 2014, then named Feasting Hall. The 200-seat alfresco dining space hosted meals cooked by award-winning chefs, including flavorful experiences from Bo.lan, Samrub Samrub Thai and Appia, plus countless other collaborations.
Not only did Feasting Hall offer a view of the sunsets over Pattaya bay, but its metal frame also provided screen mounting for late-night culinary-themed cinema.
As we moved to new land, we had more room to imagine and reimagine spaces that didn’t just allow communal dining—but evoked a sense of intimacy and interconnectedness even amongst strangers. Diners sat elbow-to-elbow in a 200-seat venue in Theatre of Feasts, designed by Ab Rogers Design in 2018 for communal long table dining.
A continuous table circled the hall, with bamboo step bridges arching over and the chef’s kitchen taking center stage.
In 2024, our epicenter for food evolved into Theatre of Eats, featuring diverse food vendors that brought regional Thai foodscapes to our tables. Open from lunchtime to the end of music programming at Molam World, the dining hall nourished up to 130 Wonderers.
Unconditional Space entices Wonderers to
settle down and engage
The Fields have always carved out spaces for dialogue, learning and reflection. In each of its iterations, Unconditional Space has transformed to gently encourage people to slow down, opening themselves up to dialogues and actions.
First named Eco Pavilion, it has gone through several reimaginings by Ab Rogers Design. In 2018, circular grass steps provided a sunken space that offered acoustics and screens for people to gather around, listen and learn. Hand-painted canvas umbrellas from Chiang Mai sheltered the audience while Scratch Talks invited conversations with inspiring speakers, serving as a think-tank for connecting mind and nature.
In 2022, we experimented with reused sails as shelter in our venue’s second iteration, Ethos Pavilion. Over the weekend, speakers and audiences discussed the intersection of mind, culture, nature and art.
Evolving from Ethos Pavilion, Unconditional Space rose from the familiar round earth amphitheater. Wonderers came together to reflect, interact and discover rituals, workshops, screenings and performances by researchers and practitioners.
Jellyfish tentacles of suspended, brightly-colored fabric tubes are pulled up and down to shift light during the day, while being illuminated at night as a gentle beacon for Wonderers moving through The Fields.

In Unconditional Space’s orbit, an Oracle Den was introduced as a space open to intimate, creative interpretations and rituals of the mind, offering each person a unique session.
Wonderers cool down at Bath House’s playful floating network of pods
Inspired by communal bathing and onsen culture, Bath House is a peaceful spot where Wonderers can relax, recline, sunbathe and swim in between adventures.
Bath House’s design has always included satellites, offering smaller, more intimate spaces. Over time, these adapted to offer more flexibility—both in physical structure and in exploring connections and disconnections. Now, vessel-like structures drift over a swimming lake, tethered by ropes that can be used to tow each satellite away and back home.
