Bangkok’s iconic riverfront will come alive nightly through the Vijit Chao Phraya 2024 light and cultural showcase from November 16 to December 15, with seven landmarks across 14 key locations marked for light displays, laser shows, projection mapping, Thai cultural performances, and fireworks displays.
Highlights this year include illumination, laser shows and fireworks at the Phra Phuttha Yodfa Memorial Bridge, and light and sound shows at an abandoned Building at Soi Lhong 1919.
The annual event is part of the Thailand Winter Festivals celebration, and is presented by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), and key partners.
Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT governor, expects Vijit Chao Phraya 2024 to generate at least 600 million baht (US$17.1 million), boost local tourism income, and encourage extended stays along the Chao Phraya River.
She noted: “This spectacular event supports Thailand’s goal to become one of the world’s top five tourism revenue-generating destinations, leveraging our rich cultural heritage through strong public-private partnerships.”
