PokPok Oktoberfest 2026 to Bring Munich Vibes to the Chao Phraya River
A new nine-day German-style festival is scheduled to take place in Bangkok this October, aiming to establish a recurring cultural tradition.
According to Khaosod Online, POKPOK has announced the launch of 'PokPok Oktoberfest 2026,' a festival themed 'A New Tradition Begins.' The event is scheduled to run for nine days, from October 24 to November 1, 2026, at The 71 Venue in the Rama 3 area of Bangkok.
Nattapong Jaravijit, CEO and founder of POKPOK, stated that the event aims to recreate the authentic atmosphere of Munich’s Oktoberfest along the banks of the Chao Phraya River. To ensure cultural authenticity, the organizers have collaborated with the Association of Thai-German Alumni (VTD) and the Thai-German Cultural Foundation (TDKS). The festival will utilize both indoor hall spaces and outdoor riverside areas to host attendees.
For residents and travelers, this event offers a unique opportunity to experience German cultural festivities within the Thai capital. Organizers have expressed an ambition to develop this into an annual tradition, supported by various German-Thai networks. While the event dates and location are confirmed, potential attendees should monitor official announcements regarding ticket availability, specific daily programming, and any potential changes to the event schedule as the start date approaches.
