January brings cooler weather and a relaxed rhythm to Thailand, making it one of the most enjoyable months for exploration. From cultural traditions and seasonal landscapes to art, music and new lifestyle spaces, January 2026 offers a beautifully balanced start to the year.
For guests at Emporium Suites by Chatrium, January is best experienced through a blend of city living, neighbourhood discovery and effortless access to Bangkok’s evolving lifestyle scene.
Auspicious Beginnings and Seasonal Travel
The New Year is traditionally marked by merit-making and reflection. Many travellers begin January with temple visits along the Chao Phraya River, a meaningful journey believed to bring blessings and positive energy for the year ahead.
Seasonal escapes beyond Bangkok are equally rewarding. Sunflower fields in Khao Yai glow with golden colour, while Pa Sak Chonlasit Dam offers calm winter views and the Floating Train experience during the cool season.
Festivals, Art and Urban Creativity
January sees cultural festivals such as the Bor Sang Umbrella and Sankhampaeng Handicrafts Festival in Chiang Mai, while Bangkok hosts a full calendar of exhibitions, art shows and creative installations at venues including IMPACT and BITEC.
Concerts, Dining and Lifestyle Discoveries
Live performances, international concerts and new dining openings shape Bangkok’s evenings throughout January. Sukhumvit and the Em District are especially vibrant, with cafés, restaurants and lifestyle spaces offering new experiences at a relaxed pace.
With its spacious suites and prime Sukhumvit location, Emporium Suites by Chatrium provides a comfortable base for guests who enjoy exploring the city as part of everyday life, balancing discovery with space and convenience.
