Banthat Thong Road Transforms into 'Halloween Street' for Seven-Day Festival

From October 26 to November 1, 2026, Bangkok’s renowned culinary destination, Banthat Thong Road, will undergo a thematic transformation. A collaboration between the Property Management of Chulalongkorn University (PMCU) and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has launched the 'Broken Cemetery' festival, turning the street into a dedicated 'Halloween Street' for seven consecutive days.

According to Thai Post, the event aims to blend traditional Thai culture with Halloween festivities. Visitors can expect a variety of attractions, including a large-scale haunted house, a parade featuring Thai-style ghosts, and a recreation of a traditional Thai temple fair atmosphere set in the heart of the city. The initiative is designed to draw both local residents and tourists to the area, highlighting the street's versatility beyond its usual dining focus.

For travelers and residents, this event offers a unique opportunity to experience a fusion of local folklore and international holiday celebrations. While the festival promises a festive atmosphere, those planning to visit should anticipate increased foot traffic and potential congestion in the Banthat Thong area throughout the week. Specific details regarding daily event schedules or potential road closures have not been fully detailed in the initial announcement, so visitors are encouraged to check for local updates before heading out.
