Calling all art-loving, music-obsessed, nature-worshipping nomads! Wonderfruit, Asia's biggest bash celebrating all things creative and eco-conscious, is back for its ninth life this December. Mark your calendars for December 12th-16th and get ready to lose yourself in a kaleidoscope of sounds, sights, and tastes at The Fields, Siam Country Club in Chonburi, Thailand.

What started as a festival in 2014 has morphed into a year-round movement, attracting over 30,000 culture vultures from around the globe. This year, expect an epic five-day adventure packed with 99 hours of non-stop art, music, wellness workshops, architectural marvels, and enough delicious food to make your tastebuds do a happy dance. Think of it as Burning Man meets Coachella meets your local farmer's market, all rolled into one eco-friendly extravaganza.
