Halloween in Bangkok isn't just a one-night affair this year. The Mall Group has rolled out seasonal attractions across four of its Lifestore branches, with the flagship event, "The Ghost Halloween #3", running at The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi on Lat Phrao Road until 8 November.
The Bangkapi event, put together by Hel in collaboration with The Ghost Radio, offers three storylines told through four immersive haunted houses, each inspired by a different terrifying mode of transport. The lineup includes Flight of Death, Hell Tour, The Sealed Platform and Ghost Ship, with immersive sets, atmospheric lighting and sound design to sell the scares. Popular Thai actors — Yai Anan, War Wanarat, Jma Ratchata, Up Poompat, Max Kornthas and Nan Natansa among them — will appear as the haunted attractions' hosts, exclusively this Wednesday and Thursday and again on 3 and 4 November.
Tickets cost 399 baht per haunted house, or 1,299 baht for all four, while entry to the wider exhibition is a flat 100 baht. The festival also hosts what's billed as one of the biggest Halloween ghost costume competitions, with more than 850,000 baht in prizes up for grabs; registration opened 31 October. There's also the "Yee Yod: Sing Khaow" exhibition to explore.
Fans of the popular supernatural series Khemrij a Must Survive get their own tie-in at The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi's Ngamwongwan branch — wait, scratch that; the "The Mall Lifestore x Khemrij a Must Survive" series is actually at The Mall Lifestore's other branches, inviting fans to step beyond the screen through an immersive recreation of key scenes at M Lifestyle Hall on the first floor until 4 November.
More spine-chilling activities are spread across the other branches. At Bangkhae, "The Mall Lifestore Haunted Doll Factory" combines a haunted factory setting with an exhibition of cursed and mysterious collectibles and roaming ghost characters, starting tomorrow at M Grand Hall on the ground floor until 1 November. Tickets are 250 baht.
Over in Chaengwattana, "The Mall Lifestore Chaphat Wicked Hollow" is the family-friendlier pick: a fantasy world with hanging balloon installations, a parade featuring witches and playful characters, fun-hunt activities and candle-making workshops, running Friday through 4 November.
For travellers, this is a genuinely local way to experience Halloween in Bangkok — Thai malls go all-in on the season, and the production values here are closer to a theme-park scare maze than a shop-floor display. The Bangkapi haunted houses are for older teens and adults who enjoy a proper fright, while Chaengwattana's Wicked Hollow suits families with younger kids. Note the staggered end dates: the doll factory and the Khemrij activation finish 1 and 4 November respectively, so check timing before you plan a visit. Prices are a fraction of what comparable scare attractions cost elsewhere in the region, and the Lat Phrao and Bang Khae locations are both reachable on the Bangkok transit network.
