Look, if you're after a low-key way to see out 2025 without the usual stress of navigating traffic or draining your wallet, these park concerts might just be the ticket.
From December 20-28, the city's got you covered with 'Music in the Park’. Just grab a mat, pick whichever park's closest to home and let the music, cool breeze and green surroundings do their thing. It's Bangkok's way of helping everyone wind down the year properly, and it’s completely free.
What makes this year's lineup particularly interesting is how it mirrors Bangkok's own diversity. You've got the full spectrum here: the Bangkok Metropolitan Orchestra bringing orchestral grandeur, traditional Thai Ponglang ensembles, and well-known pop artists like TJ and Kob Songsit.
