Gearing up for the festive season, Goethe-Institut Thailand is organising the German Christmas Market 2024 on Sathon 1 this Saturday and Sunday, bringing joy to downtown Bangkok.
The market is a collaboration with Lufthansa Airlines, FC Bayern Munich, Audi, Paulaner and Tiger Balm to create a gathering place and multicultural melting pot where people of all ages can indulge in European customs and new experiences. From midday to 10pm, the 50 booths and stage provide a variety of European gourmet pleasures, creative gifts, entertaining games and performances in a lush, tropical setting.
Standing in the heart of the market, this year's Christmas tree was designed by Thai artist Wishulada Panthanuvong using plastic waste to underscore the value of sustainable living and illustrate how wonderful things can come from seemingly impractical things.
Throughout the day, visitor can enjoy a wide range of seasonal treats like mulled wine, gingerbread, roasted almonds and an exciting mix of European Christmas classics served by German and Thai restaurants such as Bavarian roast pork, Berlin döner kebab, sausages, German bakery items and ice cream, all of which can be paired with Paulaner's famous beer, wine or apple spritzers.
Families can search for unique homemade presents, participate in a variety of fun activities like creating Christmas decorations or playing board games and enjoy live music performed by choirs and bands as part of programme.
