The U.S. Embassy in Thailand will host the final event of its American Fair series in Bangkok at Parc Paragon and SCBX Next Tech, Siam Paragon, from October 23–25, 2026, 11:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. daily.

With stops in Hat Yai, Korat, and Chiang Mai, the fair brought music, food, and exhibits on American history and culture to communities across Thailand in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.  Admission is free, and everyone is welcome!

Enjoy live music and performances on the main stage, get your face painted, and take on the Freedom 250 Explorer Passport challenge.  At SCBX Next Tech, spell out your name using NASA satellite images in the “Your Name in Landsat” activity and hear from business and technology leaders.  Looking for more fun? Hop on our rodeo bull, turn yourself into a collectible trading card at the photo booth, and grab some free popcorn and cotton candy while exploring U.S. Mission Thailand and partner booths.  Don’t forget to save room for our special edition Statue of Liberty 3D ice cream, available for purchase!

“We’re excited to bring the final American Fair to Bangkok.  Thailand is our oldest friend in Asia, and just like any family celebrating a great milestone, we want our friends to join us for America’s 250th birthday.  I hope to see our Thai friends and fellow Americans at the Fair for a weekend full of American food, games, music, and innovation!” said U.S. Ambassador to Thailand Sean K. O’Neill.
