About this event
In its closing release for the 2025 edition, the Tourism Authority of Thailand announced that Vijit Chao Phraya 2026 will be held from 13 November to 13 December 2026, and later reporting of the TAT programme gives the 2026 theme as Light of Imagination across riverside locations between Rama III Bridge and Rama VIII Bridge. The 2025 edition ran nightly from 18:00 to 22:00 with all programmes free of charge, and the 2026 edition is expected to add drone displays and fireworks on headline nights. Viewing from public riverside areas is free, while dinner cruises are the paid way to see the installations from the water. The final 2026 programme had not been published when this seed was checked on 27 October 2026, so these dates are unconfirmed.
