Christmas spirit is coming in Bangkok
In two weeks it’s Christmas and if that the majority of Thais people do not celebrate it, the Christian community in Thailand marks the event of course … and shopping centers too !
Here is a non-exhaustive list of even for Christmas 2017 in Bangkok.
Chirstmas illuminations Bangkok
Most of Bangkok’s shopping malls and some big hotels have illuminations and/or big Christmas tree. Artificial tree but Christmas trees.
It is the Central World, near the BTS Chidlom station which certainly has the most magical Christmas lightings in Bangkok as you can see on the picutres below.
If you have children, go have a look by night, they will be delighted !
There is also the Thailand Illumination Festival 2017 on Ratchadaphisek Road near MRT station (Bangkok underground subway) Thailand Cultural Center which will be held until January 6, 2018.
