This June, the heart of London transforms into a dazzling gateway to Thailand as Thailand Showcase 2025: Timeless Creativity arrives at Lewis Cubitt Square, Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross. From 27–29 June, the three-day cultural festival marks an extraordinary 170 years of diplomatic friendship between Thailand and the United Kingdom.

Last year’s showcase brought in more than 60,000 visitors, and this year promises even more wonder with a larger venue, richer programming, and a well-known spirit of cultural exchange.

What to Expect: A Feast of Culture, Craft, and Cinema

🍜 A Culinary Wonderland

Prepare your palate for a whirlwind of flavour. From Michelin-recommended Farang London to East London’s beloved Dang’s by Slurp, and Thai icons like Patara and Greyhound Café – the Showcase assembles a dream lineup of Thai Select-awarded kitchens. Live cooking demos, craft cocktails, Chang and Singha beers, and ice-cold Thai tea ensure your taste buds take a trip to Bangkok without ever leaving King’s Cross.

🎬 Thai Cinema Under the Stars

Cinema lovers, rejoice. Outdoor screenings of celebrated Thai films like Happy Monday(s), Flat Girl, and Monk will light up the summer evenings. Rub shoulders with Thai cinema royalty during exclusive Q&As – including appearances from beloved stars like Pae Arak, Foei Patara, Oab Oabnithi, and PP Punpreedee.

✈️ A Portal to Paradise

Tempted by tropical beaches or golden temples? The Discover Thailand pavilion offers immersive tourism experiences, travel promos, and daily chances to win return flights and luxury accommodation. Bring your bucket list.

🧵 Thai Craftsmanship with a Twist

Browse an eclectic market filled with sustainable fashion, artisan-made homeware, and innovative accessories — many appearing in the UK for the very first time. Feeling playful? Head over to the Thai Game Parlour to try your hand at traditional and digital Thai games.

🎭 Culture That Dances

From the hypnotic movements of classical Thai dance to contemporary performances, experience the living pulse of Thailand’s artistic soul. These performances, flown in specially for the event, serve as a beautiful reminder of the cultural bridge between the UK and Thailand.

Why You Can’t Miss It

Whether you’re a foodie, a film buff, a wanderlust-fuelled traveller, or just in search of a joyful summer outing, Thailand Showcase 2025 is where tradition and modernity collide in the best way possible. It’s a celebration of connection – of two nations and countless stories woven together by 170 years of friendship.

So come for the flavours. Stay for the films. Dance a little. Daydream a lot. And don’t be surprised if you leave with a craving for mango sticky rice… and maybe a ticket to Bangkok.

Admission is free. All are welcome.
