This month-long initiative aims to transform the capital’s public parks into vibrant cultural hubs, offering residents and tourists access to a wide variety of free live performances.

 

The schedule features a prestigious line-up, ranging from the prestigious Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra (RBSO) to traditional Thai Khon masked dances and contemporary jazz ensembles.

 

Events are set to take place at some of the city’s most iconic green spaces, including Lumphini, Benjakitti, and Rama VIII Parks.
