Thai Festival Rome

Thailand arrives in Rome

The Thai Festival Rome, officially promoted as "Thailand in Festival in Rome", transforms the Parco delle Valli along Via Conca d'Oro into a little Bangkok in the heart of the capital for a weekend. Held in the Conca d'Oro district in Rome's Municipio III, the event is designed as a complete immersion into Thai culture: art, spirituality, gastronomy, sports, and live entertainment are woven together in a journey suitable for the whole family.

Who organizes the event

The festival is promoted by the Royal Thai Embassy in Rome together with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). The goal is to showcase Thailand as a vibrant and welcoming tourist destination through authentic, multisensory experiences in an open and free festive setting.

Flavors and street food

The delicious heart of the event is Thai cuisine, served in its most genuine form at street food stalls. Featured dishes include the famous pad thai, stir-fried basil chicken (kra pao kai), spicy pad ki mao noodles, fragrant curries, spicy soups, tropical fruit, and the essential mango sticky rice. Typical drinks such as Thai tea (cha thai) and local beers are also available.

Performances, sports, and traditions

The main stage hosts Thai dance performances in ceremonial costumes and Muay Thai demonstrations, the noble martial art considered the country's national sport, featuring professional athletes and exhibition matches. The park's green spaces also host traditional Thai massage sessions, while a market offers handicrafts, decorations, and natural products imported directly from Thailand.

Workshops and experiences

• Creative workshops at the TAT stand, including hand-woven Thai fan decoration and turning wood scraps into works of art;
• Photo booth for themed memories;
• Digital experience with an app that allows you to virtually see yourself dressed in traditional Thai clothing;
• Insights into the country's spirituality and craftsmanship.
