Treadmill runs get repetitive and the same playlists loop again and again. If motivation for exercise slips, Bangkok has a simple fix on May 14. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) teams up with Thairath to turn Chatuchak Park from regular green space to a lively open-air workout venue.
It aims to get city residents moving again while easing work stress after long days at the office. Chatuchak Park usually draws weekend joggers and cyclists, but this evening shifts the focus towards shared movement and public participation.
The park's aerobic activity zone becomes a large dance floor where fitness meets molam rhythm, led by professional instructors alongside mother Arpaporn 'Hi' Nakhonsawan. Easy-to-follow moves, plenty of laughter and a crowd that ranges from office workers to regular park-goers. Dress code stays open, so trainers, costumes or office shirts all fit right in. Live music elements and call-and-response instruction keep the atmosphere engaging while staying accessible for beginners and casual participants alike.
Event highlights include:
- 5pm – Activity booths open, get your body warmed up and ready
- 5.40pm – The Bangkok Governor officially opens the event
- 6pm – Start of the ‘molum style’aerobic dance session led by professional instructors and Mae Arpaporn 'Hi' Nakhonsawan
Booths line the space for light activities and quick wellness checks, so arrive early, warm up and stay a while after the session ends. Water stations sit nearby to keep everyone refreshed throughout the evening. Move your body, switch off from work thoughts and head home lighter in mood.
At Aerobic Activity Area, Chatuchak Park. May 14 from 5pm onwards. Free entry.
