The Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra has been and continues to be home to many talented musicians and conductors. With both international and homegrown talent, this orchestra has travelled to perform throughout Asia.
Since 1993, their incredible music has been available to the public for free in the form of their “Concert in the Park” series.
The year 2023 will be their 30th anniversary, and once again they will perform a repertoire of incredibly diverse music from the classic familiar crowd-pleasers to movie scores and pop songs.

You’ll see a bunch of palm trees surrounding a patch of grass that is perfect for some picnic blankets. The sala located there is where you can see and hear the performances.
