As Christmas approaches, you may fancy making a break for an Eastern holiday or two! Who can blame you? Bangkok, believe it or not, is very much into festive fun. If you want to take in the biggest light displays and decorative garlands the city has to offer, you may want to head on out towards Thong Lo. Not only is the popular district crammed full of festive displays, but it's also home to traditional Christmas food and fare at venues such as The Old English Pub.
Thong Lo is just one of many Centre Point locations across Bangkok, and one where we are proud to host our Serviced Apartments for long-stay and short-stay visitors. The capital is a sprawling city full of wonderful surprises. Thankfully, it’s also straightforward to get to and from Thong Lo through the public transit system. However, let’s not talk about transport – let’s focus on the festivities.
Trees, Lights and Displays
Anyone around Thong Lo before will tell you that Emquartier is the place to be at Christmas. It’s a huge, sprawling mall, stacked with global brands and Thai stores for you to explore. While doing some shopping this Christmas, you might also want to take a close look at some of the mall’s famous festive lighting and trees.
Emquartier is the place to be if you’re looking for Thong Lo’s main Christmas and New Year displays. The area is always lovingly decorated throughout December and January, and what’s more, it’s here where you’ll get to see the area’s most popular Christmas tree. Thousands of people congregate and celebrate here to welcome the season, as well as the promising New Year ahead. With it being a New Decade, too, you’re going to need to find somewhere special to remember the date!
Dinner at The Old English Pub
Are you away in Bangkok for the festive season? Do you miss the smells and tastes of British home cooking? Then you’re going to want to head for The Old English Pub. As the name suggests, it’s a venue which brings the UK closer to Thai locals and expats. At Christmas, it is even more popular than usual, thanks to their amazing spread of traditional dinner fare and treats.
Check out The Old English Pub down in Thong Lo for an exclusive menu of Christmas food and festive surprises. Over the season, the Pub will also host football matches on their big screen and will continue to play host to bands and musicians. Therefore, as well as being able to tuck into some delicious turkey and Christmas pudding, you can also keep yourself well entertained!
The Pub is one of many British-themed venues scattered across Bangkok. However, this particular venue appeals to many as it gets the décor, drinks and food spot on! If you are heading to Thong Lo from Blighty this Christmas, we recommend you take a look at their fabulous menu. The staff are famously friendly, and the atmosphere is that what you’d expect from back home!
