Thailand to Host Grand Diwali Festival in October 2025
Thailand is preparing to host a grand Diwali festival this October to strengthen regional cultural ties and attract Indian visitors.
The upcoming Diwali Festival in Thailand is being driven by the National Soft Power Development Committee as part of the government’s strategic push to position the country as a top Festival Destination. The initiative aligns with Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s policy to expand quality tourism and leverage soft power through global-scale cultural events.
Surapong Suebwonglee, Chairman of the National Soft Power Development Committee, and Nalinee Taveesin, President of Thailand Trade Representatives, co-chaired a strategic meeting with Indian Ambassador H.E. Mr. Nagesh Singh and senior executives from over 10 leading Indian corporations. The discussion focused on hosting an immersive, large-scale Diwali celebration in Bangkok this October, modeled after the success of the recent Songkran Festival.
