King Power Mahanakhon adds a new thing to do in Bangkok with kids, featuring a brand-new immersive experience.
You might know King Power Mahanakhon for its sky-high rooftop views, but in a time when immersive experiences are popping up all over the city, the landmark is now offering even more things to do in Bangkok with kids.
Last month, King Power Mahanakhon launched a new immersive experience. It’s inspired by Thailand’s culture, landscapes and iconic sights. This new immersive experience brings the nation’s identity to life through landscapes, culture, traditions and local stories. All spread across 9 immersive zones, it’s packed with dazzling lights, projections, soundscapes and interactive technology.
Back in 2025, the venue launched its first immersive experience, Mahanakhon SkyVerse. Its debut theme, “Mahanakhon Oasis”, was a digital zoo-inspired attraction starring everyone’s favourite pygmy hippo, Moo Deng.
However, whether Moo Deng’s superstar moment has faded a little or visitors simply wanted something new to explore, the venue has now launched a brand-new theme and it’s called “Thailand WonderVerse”.
I got the chance to check out the new immersive experience and honestly, I only wished my phone hadn’t run out of storage space from taking so many photos and videos. Here’s why.

A glowing digital take on Thailand
Before stepping into the experience, one of the staff members briefly explained the route to me and thankfully, it’s pretty easy to follow.
She did give me one important warning though: don’t point your phone camera directly at the lasers unless you want to risk damaging it. So yes, proceed with caution while chasing those aesthetic shots.
The first three rooms are heavily focused on lights, projections and visual effects.
I first stepped into Lines of Siam, where laser lights transformed the space into a futuristic showcase of Thai identity. Iconic landmarks such as King Power Mahanakhon and the Giant Swing appeared through glowing projections across the floor beneath my feet.
My favourite room from the first section had to be Wonder Falls. It’s basically a digital waterfall room filled with flowing projections, glowing lights and nature-inspired visuals that make me feel like I was standing inside a fantasy forest.
And unexpectedly, it also became one of the best photo spots. I happened to wear a light-coloured dress, which made the waterfall projections reflect beautifully onto my outfit, so naturally, my camera roll suffered.
Then came Siamese Aquatic Wonder, which is probably where most visitors end up lingering the longest. The room is inspired by Thailand’s national aquatic symbol, the Thai Betta fish, with giant moving visuals and mirrored reflections surrounding me from every angle. In this room, I found so many different angles and spots that would be perfect for my next Instagram post.
But with all the movement, reflections and lights bouncing around from every angle, it can feel slightly dizzying if you’re sensitive to motion. Also, while this room is undeniably Instagram-worthy, maybe don’t spend too long posing because the queue behind you builds up very quickly.

The interactive magic of Thailand WonderVerse
After all the lasers and projections, the next few rooms became much more interactive and that’s when the experience got even more fun for me.
In Reflections of Wonder, I walked through a dreamy landscape inspired by Krabi’s Ao Tonsai. Giant limestone cliffs towered around the room while emerald-green water rippled beneath the projections. What made it fun was how the visuals reacted to my movements, so every step I took made the water and surrounding elements shift around me.
Then came Living Meadow, which basically felt like a giant digital colouring book. There were colouring sheets featuring flowers and insects commonly found in Thailand, including orchids, lotus and butterflies.
I coloured a hibiscus before scanning it into the system and suddenly seeing it appear across the glowing meadow walls around me. Watching my own messy little drawing come to life was weirdly satisfying and this is probably the room kids are going to love the most because they will get to see their creations come to life on the big screen straight away!
Thailand After Dark completely changed the vibe again. The room recreated the feeling of walking through a neon-lit Bangkok night street with glowing signs, moving visuals and even food carts inspired by the street food culture.
It felt like being inside a neon light-filled Chinatown at midnight, except without the crowds, heat or humidity because thankfully, there was air-conditioning. We love a good indoor fun activity in Bangkok.
The next room, The Living Memory, brought me back to Bangkok once again through projections of landmarks such as the Grand Palace, Giant Swing and Wat Arun mixed with scenes of everyday city life.
The entire room kept changing around me with colours and moving visuals and some elements even reacted when I touched them. At one point, I touched a giant projected temple figure and it suddenly gave me a digital heart back.
By the time I reached Wonder of the Land, my brain needed a second to process everything. This room leaned heavily into 3D illusion effects, turning the pathways into oceans filled with coral reefs and sea creatures.
I spotted a shark swimming beneath my feet and it almost felt like being inside an aquarium, except the fish were moving across the floor instead of inside tanks.
The final room, The Spirit of the Land, wrapped up the experience on a more cultural note.
It’s filled with elements inspired by all four regions of Thailand, but the part that stood out most to me was the glowing lanterns inspired by the Yi Peng Festival floating across the space before the visuals slowly transitioned into Northeastern Nagas and southern Thai long-tail boats.
Compared to the earlier high-energy rooms, this one felt calmer and more cinematic, almost like a final love letter to Thailand before leaving the experience.
Is Mahanakhon Thailand WonderVerse worth visiting?
Definitely. At just B350 per person, it’s a fun way to experience different sides of Thailand all in one place without waiting for big events like the Thailand Tourism Festival.
There are also plenty of elements for kids to touch, interact with and run through, which makes the experience feel much more engaging than a regular exhibition.
That said, most of the rooms lean towards the more stereotypical versions of the country that the Tourism Authority of Thailand usually like to promote, such as temples, floating lanterns and traditional imagery.
It would’ve been even more interesting if the experience also explored more modern sides of the country too, including our contemporary art, music or creative scene.
