The Danish Christmas Bazaar returned to Gaysorn Urban Resort on Saturday 6 December 2025, once again drawing the Danish community and friends for a day of Christmas traditions, charity, and delicious food and drinks.
Organised by the Danish Women’s Network and the Danish Church in Thailand, the bazaar transformed the 19th floor of Gaysorn into a lively holiday market with Danish hotdogs, waffles, gløgg, handmade ornaments, and a wide selection of gifts from local vendors. Proceeds from the event support charitable initiatives in Thailand, including Children of the Forest.
Visitors were welcomed by the Danish Pastor Nicolaj Stubbe Hørlyck who asked for a moment of silence in memory of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother who recently passed away. He was followed by Chairwoman of Danish Women’s Network Kit Daniel and finally Danish Ambassador Danny Annan, highlighting the importance of the annual bazaar. This year, the Ambassador attended the event accompanied by his wife and their two children.
A steady flow of guests throughout the day kept the shops and food stalls busy. It still remains to be counted, what the proceeds will be this year.
A highlight for families was the Kids’ Room, where children created Christmas decorations. A new, crazy attraction this year drew plenty of laughter — a chocolate bun–throwing machine that launched “floedeboller” like a catapult whenever someone hit the target with a tennis ball.
The traditional Lucia procession once again captivated the crowd, adding a touch of Scandinavian winter light to the tropical setting. Later in the afternoon, Santa Claus made his much-awaited appearance, greeting children and posing for photos.
Since its inception in 2018, the Danish Christmas Bazaar has become a beloved seasonal gathering point for Danes in Thailand. This year’s edition continued that tradition, offering a warm and festive atmosphere while raising funds for the Danish Church and the Children of the Forest.
