Bangkok’s American Fair runs through October 25: free entry, music, food and satellite-image names

A fair can combine food and live music with the chance to spell your name in satellite imagery. Bangkok’s American Fair runs October 23–25, 2026, at Siam Paragon, bringing together American food, music, culture and technology. Organized by the U.S. Mission in Thailand, Bangkok is the final stop in this series.

Announced hours are 11am–9pm Thailand time, with free admission at Parc Paragon and SCBX Next Tech. October 25 is the final day of this Bangkok edition. Anyone saving this article for a later trip should check a new event’s dates rather than assume a permanent exhibition. Free admission does not automatically make every product, meal or individual experience free.

Two areas make a useful starting point

Parc Paragon is the main starting point for outdoor stalls and the stage, while SCBX Next Tech hosts technology and exchange activities. Both are at Siam Paragon, but they are not one stall area. Pick a programme first, then decide which location to visit before leaving time for food, movement between spaces and performances.

Your Name in Landsat uses NASA satellite imagery to create participants’ names, turning Earth-observation material into an approachable interaction. Business and technology discussions also form part of the programme. These activities differ from browsing outdoor stalls; check the organizer’s or on-site information for seating, queues and any session-specific conditions.

Choose between food, games and technology

Food coverage includes American apples, California cheeses and dishes pairing U.S. ingredients with Thai cooking, such as massaman curry made with American beef. For visitors interested in food as cultural exchange, the combination offers more to consider than an assumption of burgers and sweets alone. Actual sales and samples depend on the day and stall, rather than an opening-day list guaranteeing constant availability.

Interactive elements include a mechanical bull, face painting and the Freedom 250 Explorer Passport sticker hunt, alongside vehicle and motorcycle displays. Friends or families can organize a visit around games, food and technology, with a clear meeting point. Individual activities may have their own conditions; general free admission does not establish access for every age at every moment.

Check the programme’s date and the local time

The fair offers live music, performances and cultural exchange, but each day is different. Nene Royal’s announced performance was October 24 at 7pm, so it is already past for an October 25 reader. Stage photographs show the atmosphere of the event, not proof of today’s performers, set list or starting times.

The fair closes October 25 at 9pm in Thailand, equivalent to 10pm in Taipei. Keep the one-hour difference clear when planning arrival and departure. Checking the programme locations at both Parc Paragon and SCBX Next Tech is more useful than remembering the fair’s name alone. Participation, booking and capacity questions should follow the organizer’s latest information.
