Christmas Celebration
Wishing our community a very Merry Christmas…
The Christmas Celebration was an unforgettable evening filled with joy, laughter and the magic of the season! Our community came together to embrace the holiday spirit, enjoying heartwarming music, delicious treats, and festive activities for everyone to enjoy.
The night kicked off with a concert in the Rosamund Stuetzel Theatre, where our talented Orchestra and Choirs wowed the audience; not to forget the student MC’s who captured the audience with their physical poetry, ‘The Night before Christmas’ and ‘Christmas in Bangkok’. The celebration then moved outdoors, where the Big Band and Jazz Ensemble brought the night alive with incredible live performances under the stars.
Adding to the holiday cheer, students and staff showcased their musical talents while visitors strolled through the market stalls organized by the PTG. It was a true ‘Bangkok-style Christmas’ winter wonderland of music, laughter and community spirit.
Thank you to everyone who joined the festivities and made the evening so special. Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays!

Christmas in Bangkok
In Bangkok’s bright streets, where the night shines aglow,
Christmas brings magic, a tropical show.
No snowflakes are falling, but lights fill the air,
As joy and excitement spread everywhere.
The temples are golden, their rooftops so bright,
Reflecting the glow of the festive delight.
In markets, there’s laughter, the vendors all cheer,
Selling gifts and sweet treats for this time of the year.
A tuk-tuk zooms past with a jingling sound,
Its driver is smiling, the spirit’s around.
Lanterns are glowing, like stars in the sky,
And garlands of flowers are hung up nearby.
At malls, decorations climb high and wide,
With trees decked in sparkle, they light up with pride.
Children line up by the Santa display,
Sharing their wishes for Christmas Day.
The aromas of food drift through every street,
Pad Thai and green curry make Christmas complete.
With mango and sticky rice piled on a plate,
A festive Thai feast is surely first-rate.
The Chao Phraya flows, a glittering stream,
Boats dressed with lights add a magical gleam.
Families gather to share in the cheer,
Creating warm memories year after year.
Bangkokians share gifts, both big and small,
The spirit of giving connects one and all.
Kindness and smiles make this season so bright,
A Bangkok-style Christmas feels just right.
