See Bangkok all lit up to bid farewell to 2022 and welcome 2023
The breeze has turned cool and the mood has taken on a congenial warmth, and that means Christmas is upon us. This time of the year, Bangkok is transformed into a magical land with all the Christmas lights and installations. Some of the city’s major landmarks have already started putting up humongous holiday decorations—we’re talking glittering larger-than-life Christmas trees, ribbons in every color, and Santas big or small.
To get you into the holiday spirit, we’ve rounded up the best places to see Christmas lights and decorations in Bangkok here.
ICONSIAM
Bangkok Illumination 2022
Bangkok Illumination once again takes over ICONSIAM’s riverfront promenade, lighting up the year-end vibes with the 20-meter gold-colored Christmas tree with awe-inspiring embellishments inspired by the centerpiece of Bai Sri Soo Kwan, a traditional Thai ritual that aims at “bringing home good spirits.” To bring more light into your life, walk up to ICONSIAM’s second floor […]
centralwOrld
For years, centralwOrld has put up the country’s tallest Christmas tree, and it will be no different this year. This holiday season, the mall has set up a towering 30-meter tree decorated with LINE FRIENDS characters such as Brown and Cony.
Emporium Emquartier Winter Wonderland 2022
For years, The Emporium and The EmQuartier have been bringing holiday cheer to mall-goers with stunning Christmas displays, and this year is no different. The fashionable mall has put up an LED-lit Christmas tree right between Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana’s storefronts. It’s the first thing you’ll see when you exit the BTS.
Bangkok’s highest-set Christmas tree is located on the 74th floor of King Power Mahanakhon, the country’s tallest building. This year, the commercial and retail complex is working with the theme “Magic Destination”, which draws inspiration from how much we love—and look forward to—traveling all over the world. Thus, the tree is decorated with tiny doors that open to cities and locations on many travel bucket lists.
