The Deputy Governor of Bangkok, the ever-diligent Mr. Sanon Wangsrangboon, recently shared some thrilling news at a bustling press conference at the CentralWorld Office in the vibrant Pathumwan District. With confidence in his stride, he announced a plan that aims to rally everyone around the city’s post-pandemic resurgence. Now that Bangkok is back on its feet, full of life and energy, it’s time to invite the world to rediscover its allure through the much-celebrated Songkran festival.
He underscored the festival’s potential to mend and enhance trust among both local wanderers and globetrotting visitors. This iconic festivity promises not only a splashy celebration but also an excellent platform to parade Bangkok’s unwavering hospitality. The globally beloved festival, which runs from April 10th to 20th, 2025, is set to be a mosaic of tradition and modern-day charisma, marking its place on the world stage.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has earmarked 12 prime venues for this spectacular event, with the ever-bustling CentralWorld taking the spotlight. “The BMA, along with various government bodies, is painstakingly committed to crafting a seamless experience that’s safe and serviceable for all participants. Through such dedication, we aim to reinstate confidence in our vibrant city,” Mr. Wangsrangboon confidently articulated.
Diving into the festival extravaganza titled “THAILAND’S SONGKRAN FESTIVAL 2025,” it’s apparent that this initiative is more than just a spectacle; it’s a full-throttle collaboration between BMA, CentralWorld, and Plan B. With over 500 million baht poured into bringing this vision to life, the festival promises a kaleidoscopic blend of more than 1,000 events scattered across Thailand.
The celebrations are set to unfold amidst an eruption of joyful chaos:
- Countrywide Festivities: Spread across 28 bustling Central shopping centres, the activities will span pulsating music festivals, exhilarating water fights, and captivating cultural showcases. The stage is set for over 300 vibrant artists to wield their charm.
- Global Cultural Ambassadors: Catch a glimpse of Miss Universe 2024, the dazzling Victoria Keer Thelwig, as she strides alongside four Continental Queens to broadcast the quintessential charm of Thai Songkran to the entire world. It’s glamour meets culture, painting a tapestry of beauty.

This promises a collaboration like no other, spotlighting leading artists and featuring the electrifying Songkran duo, Freen-Sarocha and Becky-Rebecca.
