Visiting a Christmas market is a great way to indulge yourself in the holiday spirit. That is why the Goethe-Institut Thailand, together with the Thai-German Cultural Foundation (TDKS), brings back one of Germany’s most beloved traditions to Bangkok, inviting all to celebrate the festive season at its German Christmas Market 2025.
Together with this year´s sponsors, namely Singha Corporation, Mampe Berlin and Hofbräu imported by Janhom Classic Limited Partnership , we are enhancing the appeal of this magical Christmas event. Hosted in the unique atmosphere of the Goethe-Institut Thailand on Sathorn Soi 1, it will be a place where a tropical setting meets Christmas cheer. With over 50 booths in total, there’s something to delight every visitor.
Culinary Delights
Seasonal treats like mulled wine, artisan bread, and an exciting mix of European Christmas classics, served by German and Thai restaurants, such as Bavarian Roast Pork, Berlin Döner Kebab, sausages, German bakery items, ice cream and more, all of which can be enjoyed with famous beer from Hofbräu München and Singha or cocktails by Mampe Berlin.
Raffle Prizes
The 2025 raffle is a highlight, offering a wide selection of great prizes for visitors of all ages, such as free German courses. The top prizes are two travel vouchers for return air ticket Thailand-Germany.
Family Fun
A diverse program will entertain visitors of all ages, featuring live music from bands, along with family-friendly activities. Visitors can learn how to make Christmas decorations and other handmade activities. Festive cheer also means unique gift ideas, jewellery, and handcrafted items that Christmas markets are famous for, making shopping a big part of this year’s event.
Christmas Tree and Nutcracker Sculptures
This year’s Christmas market features a centrepiece unlike any other — a tree designed by Thai artist Thanawat Maneenawa, accompanied by German Nutcracker sculptures. Made entirely from recycled materials, Maneenawa’s works challenge conventional ideas of art and utility, showing how creativity can breathe new life into discarded objects.
Christmas Market as Cultural Melting Pot
As promoters of cultural exchange, the Goethe-Institut Thailand and the TDKS are proud to create another meeting spot and melting pot through the Christmas Market, where people can meet and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere, and discover new experiences. The German Christmas Market offers a wonderful opportunity to immerse oneself in the festive spirit and experience the charm of the holiday season in a lively setting. The market also symbolises international friendship and cultural understanding.
