The various activities and performances are aimed at improving family bonds and helping the little ones grow up more responsibly.
6. Bath House - A Sanctuary of Relaxation
Sometimes you need a quiet place to kick back and relax amidst all the loud music and dancing. The 'Bath House' section consists of bamboo shacks and pods built over the water where patrons can take refreshing dips under the warm sun. It not only functions as a quick rehabilitation centre but also acts as a model for sustainable design and use of materials which is a part of the ethos of Wonderfruit.
7. A Taste of Wonder - Is Your Festive Fashion Game on Point?
Sustainable fashion has not been able to catch up with the 21st-century audience. Wonderfruit aims to change that by promoting ethical and recyclable fashion. Last year in 2018, the theme was kept as 'Plastics and Waste'. Buy accessories or clothes which promote sustainability or be adventurous and design your own garments - from bringing out a vintage charm in your clothes to keeping in theme with 21st-century trends.
8. Theatre of Feasts - A Culinary Extravangaza
What would a festival be without food for its hungry patrons? At Wonderfruit, visitors can gather at the Theatre of Feasts - a communal dining hall designed to encourage people to sit and enjoy their food together. Over 100 world renowned chefs - both from Thailand and abroad come to showcase their signature dishes and feed 100s of hungry patrons each day.
