Central World, Bangkok’s iconic lifestyle destination, proudly presents a one-of-a-kind holiday celebration with the unveiling of the world’s first Art Toy Christmas Tree.

Designed by celebrated artist Jessica Ng, “Gail” embodies holiday magic and artistic brilliance. Visitors can immerse themselves in 12 whimsical holiday zones across 3,500 square meters, complete with real snowfall, the Coca-Cola Merry Express train, and three mesmerizing Flying Angels.
