BANGKOK — An annual tourist festival returns later this month to Bangkok’s largest downtown park with maximum Thainess.

 

Traditional culture and food from different regions will be on display in 10 zones at the Thailand Tourism Festival, sponsored by the national tourism authority. Expect tourism-promoting activities such as classical dances and local cuisines, as well as adventure sport demonstrations such as rock climbing or paintballing.

Have been to this in the past.  Well worth the MRT ride to Lumpini or Silom Stations, or the BTS to Sala Daeng, which put you right at the entrances to the park.

 

My only complaint was personal- I'm apparently allergic to some of the hay they laid out to decorate some of the booths.  Otherwise, it was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Been there in 2016 and it was very interesting and packed with (THAI!) people. very few Farang, but a lot of friendly Bangkokians. If u r in BKK now, go there. Late afternoon best until evening

Just walked through the park an hour ago and they are currently setting the stalls up. 

I went there 2 years ago and look forward to going again next week.
