im coming down to bangkok soon to take some pics of the grafitti in a park just round the corner of ratchathewi bts station

and i want to know if the xmas decorations / trees are up in terminal 21 , mbk malls etc and where can i see the best xmas displays anywhere in bangkok this year

cheers .... dave2

ps ... time is not a problem so i can stay a week to get these

There is a large plastic tree outside Emporium. It looks rubbish. They also have a few Christmas items on the BTS walkway.

I don't think it's worth travelling to photograph though.

I don't get out to the malls all that often here but I've not seen anything up anywhere yet. I wouldn't expect anyone to try and get the jump on decorating so it's surprising Emporium did. In another two weeks I'd think there will be more.

As for where the best will be then, I'm not so sure, but Central World tends to decorate a lot. Last year the theme for the main decorations outside in the large plaza area involved a few dozen Snoopy statues, so it doesn't always make a lot of sense related to standard conventions.

About an hour ago the welcome girl in front of Santa Fe steak in Century Mall was wearing a cap with plastic reindeer horns. Check her out sometime. Definitely photogenic

wow thanks everyone for all the info

central festival in chiang mai had the snoopy theme round their tree last year but ive not been there this year yet

i went to airport plaza today and they have cleared the area where their xmas tree goes so maybe as honu says in a few weeks some more will be going up

in bangkok

all info on any good xmas displays will be very welcome

thanks .. dave2

I was down Terminal 21 yesterday evening and they'd just started putting the tree up.

Wow.

That's a smoking hot Festivus Pole!

I look forward every year to the Airing of the Grievances.

Every good fellow knows the Day for Celebration decorations starts December 1 !

Maybe delay your visit till then?

Oh, and they should be down by New Years Eve.

I'm look forward to taking the kids to the spectacular, they are still too young to be cynical.

CentralWorld is festooned in Christmas decorations.

What about the TESCO girls, do they have their Santa Hats on yet?

I'm out of Country for a short while.
