Are you planning to spend thanksgiving in Bangkok? Although Thanksgiving is not widely celebrated in Thailand, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings, plus a slice of good ol’ American pie. After all, Bangkok is a melting pot of cultures, one that is full of amazing restaurants.
For some, celebrating Thanksgiving in Thailand is as much about enjoying great food as it is about embracing tradition. As Alex Latour of The Thaiger shares, “Usually, I would head to an American-owned establishment that is putting on some kind of special meal for the occasion.
It’s a difficult holiday to get a lot of celebration out of because it’s purely an American event, no other Western countries really participate, but it’s all about the great food!”
And delicious food is something Thailand has in abundance. Here are 10 places where you can celebrate Thanksgiving in Bangkok this November 2024.
