Wonderfruit Festival

Wonderfruit; a home for every spirit animal. Let Thailand breathe you in for a change at this festival for the arts. Here you will get to experience what Thailand’s art and music scene is all about.

The founders of Wonderfruit strive to increase sustainability and environmentally friendly living, and they mean it.

Single-use plastic bottles and cups aren’t allowed anywhere on site (there are free water stations to refill your own), and when we went the structures for the event were all built with locally sourced bamboo. The festival was first certified carbon neutral back in 2017.

Wonderfruit is hosted over five days in early December at the Siam Country Club, Pattaya. Having only been established since 2014, Wonderfruit is still young, and yet it is already a hot spot for Thailand’s art, music, food and ideas.

In 2026 Wonderfruit will run from 3rd-7th of December.

The October tickets for 2026 have sold out. The next sale runs 3-9 November: 12,900 baht for a five-day pass or 11,500 baht for the weekend, compared with 20,000 baht at the door. Tickets are on their site.

How to get there

We stayed outside of the festival within the city and used Grab Taxi to get there and back each day. It cost between 500 and 700 baht each way and we split the cost between 4 people.

There is an official shuttle bus but the price was absolutely not worth it.

Insider tips

1. Take your own refillable and lightweight flask (lightweight so you can wear it whilst dancing). Make sure it isn’t single-use plastic or it won’t be allowed in. Bring it empty, because they empty drinking flasks at the entrance.
2. Eat a big breakfast before heading to the festival. The food is expensive.
3. If you’re intending to party harder than your bank balance will allow - have a cheeky 7-11 pre-drink.
4. Take a small light bag for essentials.

See you there!
