Welcome to the illuminating marvel that is ICONSIAM, where the nightscape along the seductive bends of the Chao Phraya River transforms into a jubilant canvas of luminescent artistry. As we bid a joyous adieu to the bygone year and warmly welcome the new, ICONSIAM’s ‘The Glorious Splendour of Faith’—a pivotal spectacle of the ‘Vijit Chao Phraya 2023’ grandeur—beckons one and all. Imagine an alliance curated by the visionaries at the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), married with the synergy of the public and private sectors, to birth a cascade of light that dances along the river, synchronizing with the rhythms of the ‘Thailand Winter Festival’ throughout the festive December of 2023.
Supoj Chaiwatsirikul, the esteemed Managing Director of ICONSIAM Company Limited, heralds the year-end as a cornucopia of celebrations, generously sprinkled with delightful moments. At the heart of ICONSIAM’s festive embrace is the contribution to the stellar ‘Vijit Chao Phraya 2023’ affair. Chosen as one of seven iconic performance venues, it unveils a kaleidoscope of Bangkok’s cultural zest. This celebration is not merely an event; it is a thriving embodiment of the lively waterfront lifestyle. It serves as a beacon of Thailand’s rich heritage, casting an aura of festive euphoria during Christmas and the New Year, while invigorating the pulse of waterfront commerce in its wake. The underlying mission? To catapult the tourism industry to new heights by spotlighting the irresistible charm of Thailand—and the Chao Phraya River in particular—as a pinnacle of global allure.
Like the crescendo of a symphony, ICONSIAM delivers a riveting light and sound narrative, performed not once but four times daily, from the 1st to the 31st of December at 6:30 p.m., 8:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m., and a final encore at 9:30 p.m. Marvel at the ‘ICONIC Multimedia Water Features’ show, lauded as the most magnificent water dance show across Southeast Asia. This mesmerizing tableau forges light, sound, and multimedia into an exquisite tapestry, narrating the splendour of Thai heritage and lore. Immortalized by the prestigious Gold STEVIE Awards for Art, Entertainment & Public – Art Event category in 2019, this show is not just a spectacle but a testament to ICONSIAM’s dedication to creating experiences that resonate with cultural majesty.
The ‘Vijit Chao Phraya 2023’—a sparkling jewel in the diadem of the ‘Thailand Winter Festival’—exhibits TAT’s ambition to foster one of the most awe-inspiring creative tourism extravaganzas witnessed thus far. Each handpicked venue along the river reveals a tapestry woven from the vibrant threads of cultural diversity, meandering past temples and historical heartbeats within Bangkok’s seven key waterfront communities.
This edition is particularly memorable, as the TAT has graciously extended the festivities to embrace the entirety of December 2023.
