Pro-Tips for Expats & Tourists
- Go Digital: Most vendors prefer Thai QR Payment (PromptPay). If you have a Thai bank app, it’s much faster than cash.
- The "Green" Fair: Bring your own tote bag! The event promotes a "No Plastic" policy.
- Wear Thai: You will see many locals in beautiful traditional Thai attire. Feel free to wear your Thai silk shirt or dress to fit the festive atmosphere.
- Avoid Taxis: The traffic around Rama IV and Silom is gridlocked during the fair. Use the MRT or BTS, it's significantly faster.
The Thai Red Cross Fair 2025 is a rare "once-a-year" experience that offers a deep dive into the Thai way of life. It’s loud, crowded, and incredibly fun. Most importantly, every Baht you spend helps the Red Cross provide disaster relief and blood donation services across the country.
Don't wait—the fair ends this Sunday, December 21!
