Grab a bratwurst and a mug of Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier—and bookmark these Oktoberfest events in Bangkok this September and October.
Oktoberfest is a big deal. After all, it’s the largest folk festival in the world. People are out and about having the time of their lives. Be sure to call up your friends as some things in Germany are better with company, such as sharing portions of Bavarian food and an abundance of beer.
Even if you’re in Bangkok, you don’t need to book a ticket to the Vaterland to enjoy Oktoberfest. These Oktoberfest events in town will certainly do the job.

Bang Bang Burgers Oktoberfest
Not to be confused by with the 2014 pop hit, Bang Bang is a local favourite in Sukhumvit Soi 11. In fact, we’d wager there’s no better spot to have burgers and booze in the area. They’re teasing special house deals and promotions you can’t get anywhere else.
The deals are available until 3 October. You can find more information at Bang Bang Burgers.
Beer Yoga at SO/ Bangkok
Come for the yoga, stay for the beer. The one-hour beer yoga class begins at 2pm, but you also receive a four-hour pass for the gym and the infinity pool. After you’re done working out, treat yourself to a couple of cold ones to balance it out. Can’t be too healthy now.

Out of all the events on this list, this is the only one actually taking place in the month of October. The ballroom at the Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit will be completely decked out in full German fashion: think of people in traditional Bavarian outfits, seated on Festzelt-benches, and enjoying delicious German bites and genuine Paulaner Oktoberfest beer.
