The Thailand Bazaar and Cultural Week is back with its eighth instalment, showcasing authentic Thai delicacies, handicrafts and products at the OneCity Shopping Centre until 4 May 2025
In her speech at the launch of the four-day event, Her Excellency Boosara Kanchanalai, Ambassador of Thailand to Brunei Darussalam, said that this year’s bazaar is held in the spirit of togetherness, aligning with the recent festivities of Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Songkran, Thailand’s traditional New Year celebration.
“Both festivals share common values of forgiveness, well-wishing, family and friendship, happiness, joy and celebration – all accompanied by an abundance of delectable food. We hope these sentiments will be echoed throughout your experience at Thailand Bazaar,” she said.
“Thailand’s flavours, colours and warmth are all here under one roof. We are proud that the Thailand Bazaar has become a pop-up emporium for new Thai products and a platform for businesses to reach new audiences,” added the ambassador.
From Pad Thai to the famous herbal inhaler, throughout the four days, visitors will enjoy a variety of products from Thailand such as authentic Thai cuisine and beverages, desserts, snacks, cosmetics, jewellery and Thai silk clothes from over 60 exhibitors – some of which are being introduced to Brunei for the very first time.

The event also featured numerous family-friendly activities, including Muay Thai, a Thai cooking demonstration, and more.
