Staying in town or visiting Bangkok during the New Year’s break and looking for a perfect spot to shout out a countdown? OneSiam, a family of Bangkok’s coolest malls: Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery, is set to throw a grand party at Parc Paragon filled with exciting activities to uplift your holiday spirit to a new high. Here, we will telling why OneSiam is second to none when it comes to a countdown spot!
It has an over-the-top OneSiam-wide festival of festive lights
This year, OneSiam has taken Christmas and New Year lighting festival to a new level, with jaw-dropping light displays in various, yet cohesive, themes throughout the premises. The mesmerizing polar lights of the north have become the core inspiration for this year’s spectacular light showcase to ignite joy and happiness at Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery. Highlights at The Festival of Light 2019 include a magical winter wonderland complete with the gigantic 15-meter-tall “Crystal Tree” Christmas tree, light displays, and the dazzling “Crystal Walk” light tunnel--all at Parc Paragon where the spectacular countdown event will take place on Dec 31. So it’s unarguably the ideal all-in-one stop!
But it’s not only Siam Paragon’s Parc Paragon where you can be captivated by spectacular light shows, the neighboring Siam Center and Siam Discovery shopping centers also celebrate the holiday season with store-wide light decorations. Siam Center is taken over by elves of all forms as the fashion-focused center has been transformed into the magical Elf Forest and Elf Village, while at the very center of the space is the kinetic-and-optical art exhibition W3-Dimensional by Argentinian-Spanish graffiti and street artist Felipe Pantone. Siam Discovery stays true to its love for the earth with the The Circular Living Recycled Christmas Tree, consisting of reused materials in order to promote eco-friendly living.
It brings great circus shows from around the world to you
Apart from light installations that provide unlimited photo ops, OneSiam has brought numerous shows by local and international talents to entertain you throughout this holiday season. Keep your eyes peeled for the sensual dance Danzanti by The Netherlands’ Teatro Pavana (26-31 Dec at 5.30pm and 7pm), Bike Parade (26-28 Dec at 6.30pm and 8 pm), a fairy-inspired dance performance on bikes, a classical piano recital by The Romance Carillon from Milan, Italy (29-31 Dec at 6.30pm and 8pm). The shows are performed at Prac Paragon, Siam Paragon (BTS Station Siam Square). Trust us, they’re so photogenic you won’t be able to keep your camera off.
It has some of Thailand’s most famous artists and DJs enlivening up the festive vibes
It’s your chance to move to the beats from 8pm by local stars—singer-rapper J Jetrin, vocal powerhouse Tu Popetorn and disco-soul singer Burin Boonvisut, who will kick off the festive spirits on New Year’s Eve before the countdown at Prac Paragon, Siam Paragon. After that? A variety of DJ sets!
Oh, and as a prequel to the countdown, don’t forget to join the free mini-concerts by Thai artists from now until Dec 31. Headliners include ETC (25 Dec), Ae Jirakorn (29 Dec), as well as Songkran Rangsan and Modern Dog (31 Dec) at 7pm at Discovery Plaza, the open space between Siam Discovery and Siam Center.
