1,000 Drones to Light Up Pak Khlong Talat as Bangkok Flower Festival Closes

The Bangkok Flower Festival 2026, held on the Chao Phraya River in the Pak Khlong Talat area, will stage an outdoor drone show, BLOOM ACROSS THE SKY, on the evenings of 26 and 27 September 2026 at about 20:30 at Yodpiman River Walk. A total of 1,000 drones will take off simultaneously to create images of light and colour in the sky. The show lasts about 15 minutes. It is the final highlight before the flower festival, which has been running since 18 September, closes on 27 September.

The Bangkok Flower Festival 2026 invites visitors to experience Pak Khlong Talat from a new perspective, through art, riverside atmosphere and a wide range of activities throughout the event. The drone show is the highlight that adds colour to the festival's evenings, and is another reason to draw people to the riverside in the closing stretch of the event.

How does the drone show tell the story of flowers in the sky?

The concept behind BLOOM ACROSS THE SKY is to reinterpret the beauty of flowers, the signature of the Pak Khlong Talat area. Instead of admiring flowers on the ground, visitors will see flowers blooming in the sky. The drone fleet will rise into the air and form various images, combined with light and colour, telling a story as they go.

What makes the show special is not only the number of drones, but also the combination of technology, light, colour and visual design with the atmosphere of the flower festival. In the evening in particular, the light from the show contrasts with the sky and the view of the Chao Phraya River, giving audiences a different dimension of the event from walking among the flowers during the day.

Festival details and admission

For those who have not yet had the chance to visit, or who are planning a trip this weekend, it is worth noting the dates and times, as the shows on 26 and 27 September will be the last before the festival closes. Drone show times may change depending on weather conditions.

This news will interest tourists and Bangkok residents looking for weekend activities along the Chao Phraya River, as well as event organisers and travel industry professionals seeking ideas on using drone technology to create highlights at outdoor festivals.
