White Party Bangkok 2026
- 27 Dec 2025 - 31 Dec 2025
- Bangkok
Bangkok’s legendary White Party has become much more than a simple night out; it’s a multi‑day celebration that transforms Thailand’s capital into a sea of white at the end of each year. The festival made its debut in 2015 under the guidance of Cloud 9 Inc. and over the past decade it has grown into Asia’s largest New Year’s dance festival, drawing tens of thousands of partygoers from more than fifty countries. Last year’s edition attracted over 20,000 revellers from more than 50 countries, and the upcoming 2026 edition looks set to be even bigger thanks to newly renovated venues and a fresh theme. Partygoers from across Asia and beyond flock to Bangkok for this event because they know they’re in for world‑class production, a line‑up of international DJs and the kind of atmosphere usually reserved for huge arenas.
The festival runs from Saturday December 27 2025 to Wednesday December 31 2025 (wrapping up in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2026). This five‑day marathon sees Bangkok’s nightlife cranked up several notches. Organisers have embraced the idea that a New Year celebration can be both extravagant and playful, which is why the theme for 2026 is “Ken Land.” Attendees are encouraged to embrace whatever version of ‘Ken’ they identify with: Muscle Ken, Glam Ken, Leather Ken or a persona of their own. The result is a riot of imagination and costume that blends seamlessly with the pulsating EDM and circuit beats swirling around Paragon Hall and TRIBE Sky Beach Club.
White Party Bangkok’s signature nights unfold at the 5,200‑square‑metre Paragon Hall inside the Siam Paragon mall. The venue underwent a multi‑million‑dollar renovation that was completed in May 2024, giving it state‑of‑the‑art sound, lighting and visual production. Its central location makes it easy to reach by BTS Skytrain and puts partygoers just a short ride away from the bars and clubs of Silom. During the daytime the scene shifts to TRIBE Sky Beach Club on the roof of EmSphere, where an infinity pool, sun loungers and panoramic views over Benchasiri Park provide a tropical backdrop for two pool parties.
Each night at White Party Bangkok has its own personality and dress code. The festival traditionally opens with AGM — the Annual Gay Meeting — which sets a welcoming tone and encourages attendees to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. The second night is the Military Ball, where revelers trade T‑shirts for uniforms (or fetish‑inspired interpretations) and march into Paragon Hall to a soundtrack of pounding tribal beats. On the third day the action moves to TRIBE Sky Beach Club for the Jock Ball pool party in the afternoon and a Beef Ball pool party on the following afternoon, both offering a more relaxed but equally festive atmosphere. The White Party Main Event, often referred to as the festival’s centrepiece, takes place on December 30 and is widely regarded as the largest gay circuit party in Asia. DJs from around the world drive the crowd into a collective frenzy with soaring melodies and thunderous basslines, and the visual production is nothing short of spectacular. The final night is the Ken Land New Year’s Eve party, a playful countdown where the extravagant theme comes into full bloom.
What sets White Party Bangkok apart is how it blends over‑the‑top production with genuine camaraderie. Veterans of the festival know to secure their passes early because the presale and early bird tickets sell out quickly; organisers limit VIP and general admission passes to preserve the sense of community. The event’s popularity also brings with it a diverse crowd: from first‑time visitors exploring Asia’s lgbtq+Q circuit scene to seasoned circuit regulars drawn by the promise of cutting‑edge music and eye‑catching performances. You’ll encounter body‑painting artists, flamboyant drag queens, muscle boys in glitter and travellers just there to soak up the energy. Between events, people can explore Bangkok’s vibrant gay quarter around Silom or simply rest up for the next party.
If you’re planning on attending, know that White Party Bangkok is not just about partying; it is also a spectacle that celebrates freedom and community. The festival encourages guests to express themselves without judgement, whether through elaborate costumes or dance moves. Thanks to its scale and reputation, it has become a cornerstone of the global lgbtq+Q circuit calendar and a major tourism draw for Thailand’s capital. For the 2026 edition, the combination of a reimagined Paragon Hall, the stunning rooftop setting at TRIBE Sky Beach Club and the whimsical Ken Land theme promises a New Year celebration that’s equal parts glamorous, wild and heartfelt. Bookings open in August 2025, and with limited passes available and interest already running high, it’s wise to secure your tickets as soon as possible. Whether you’re drawn to the late‑night parties, the poolside afternoons or simply the chance to dance into the new year with thousands of like‑minded people, White Party Bangkok 2026 offers an experience that you’ll be talking about long after the last confetti has fallen.
