Clear your schedule for mid-December as Siam Street is back with Bangkok's biggest free street performance festival.
On December 19-21, Chulalongkorn University Property Management is back with Siam Street World Stage. Now in its ninth year, the event has built a reputation for bringing world-class street acts to the heart of Bangkok from midday-10pm, the performances you'd normally need to fly halfway across the globe to see. This year's 'Go Big' theme isn't just talk either: the lineup is absolutely stacked with rare international talent.
Prepare yourself for Skybike, an aerial motorcycle show that'll have you holding your breath, and Solanpo-Solan, which combines massive aerial fabric work with juggling skills that defy logic. There's also Asterisk Nova performing death-defying balancing acrobatics, Japanese magician Izuma who's bound to leave everyone mesmerised, and Kento Yoshikawa bringing comedy and circus tricks together in the best possible way.
But it's not all about sitting back and watching. They've created a Giant Board Games zone right in the middle of Siam Square where you can take on mates or complete strangers at supersized versions of Jenga, Chess and Connect Four.
If you'd rather get physical, head to the Basketball All Around court for a casual shoot-about in the city centre. And for anyone who's ever wondered what it takes to be a street performer, the Street Lab offers hands-on workshops where you can have a go yourself.
Siam Street World Stage 2025 runs December 19-21 from midday-10pm at Siam Square.
