Sawadee krap and welcome back to the All About Thailand Podcast! I'm your host, Mike, and as we hit mid-November, I know what you're thinking. After all the news, after all the water that's passed through the kingdom... is anyone still feeling that festive cheer?​The answer, my friends, is a resounding yes!​It's been a tough few months. We've seen significant flooding, especially in parts of the central and northern regions, and it's affected so many lives. Our thoughts are with everyone who's been impacted. But what never ceases to amaze me about this incredible country is its resilience, its spirit of sanuk – that love of fun – and the incredible speed with which the Christmas buzz is now truly starting to build.​From the glowing super-malls of Bangkok that look like a million-baht winter wonderland, to the beach clubs in Phuket planning their sun-drenched, sandy-toed Christmas parties. Up north in misty Chiang Mai, where the cooler air makes those festive lights feel truly magical, and even down in Pattaya, where the decorations are popping up alongside the seaside excitement.​So, join us today as we dive into the incredible positivity, the dazzling sights, and the unique, distinctly Thai-twist on the most wonderful time of the year. We're talking about Christmas in Thailand, floods be darned. You're listening to All About Thailand!
