Christmas in Bangkok, Thailand, may not be as lively as it is out in the west, but they sure do know how to create the same blissful vibes for the folks celebrating Christmas as well as for others to get a taste of the joyful holiday season. Come, experience Christmas in Bangkok.
Bangkok basks in the glory of being home to the ninth largest shopping complex in the world, the colossal CentralWorld shopping mall, which makes for oodles of fun and joy all year round in the bustling city. But come December every year, it puts on an even more delightful scene for you to savour the joyous spirit of the festive holiday season. One could safely say that CentralWorld is the closest thing Bangkokers have to the New York City Times Square at this time of the year.
For a delightful Christmas experience in the lively city of Bangkok, make your way to the Sansiri's T77 neighbourhood, where the Sansiri Winter Market takes place every year. The Christmas-themed open-air market plays host to scores of eclectic stalls and food shacks and trucks bursting with mouth-watering treats. Adding to the idyllic scene is a huge display of local arts and crafts for you to take back home as lovely souvenirs, or simply feast your eyes on as you stroll through the atmospheric marketplace.
Just a couple hours' drive away from Bangkok in the city of Saraburi lies something remarkably charming, sure to make your holiday season even more delightful — the Saraburi sunflower fields. Striking bright yellow smeared all across as far as the eye can see, the sprawling lush fields make for a quick getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of the rather chaotic Bangkok city. Let both your feet and mind take a wander in the dreamlike nature spot and set your inner nature lover free.
The fascinating collage of chaos that is the vibrant city of Bangkok is blessed with a stunning cityscape that without fail will make for an incredible treat for your eyes. So, what better way to appreciate the marvellous metropolis than on a boat cruising on unruffled waters! Create lovely memories that make your Christmas in Bangkok a memorable one as you take in the gorgeous city views.
While Bangkok may not be New York City when it comes to Christmas, it really does put on a fantastic scene for folks to enjoy the holiday season. Just treating your eyes to the striking Christmas lights and the scores of city decorations will immerse you in the joyous holiday spirit. There's a whole lot more adding to the city's delightful scene, such as fantastic dining in Bangkok, offered by the likes of Avani Atrium Bangkok.
