The Military Ball Bangkok 2027
Everyone loves a man in uniform as White Party Bangkok presents the annual Military Ball, Attention!
The Military Ball Bangkok 2027
Military Ball takes White Party Bangkok’s New Year’s Day slot, transforming Paragon Hall into a Jungle Warrior spectacle with international DJs, huge stage production and thousands of guys arriving in military-inspired looks.
Stay at Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, directly connected to Siam Paragon, making it one of the easiest bases for Military Ball and the festival’s other Paragon Hall events.
The Party
- Next Edition: Friday, January 1, 2027.
- Time: Doors open at 7:30 pm; party runs until late.
- Venue: Paragon Hall – Level 5, Siam Paragon, 991 Rama I Road, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330.
- Theme: Jungle Warrior.
- DJs: Dash Berlin, Karsten Sollors and Zackiss.
- Military Ball forms part of White Party Bangkok’s six-event AmaXon 10th Anniversary Festival.
- Admission: 20+.
What to Expect
- Military Ball is White Party Bangkok’s uniform-themed night, but the 2027 edition shifts the look towards the jungle. Expect camouflage, harnesses, utility-inspired outfits and plenty of skin rather than formal military uniforms.
- The DJ programme mixes Dash Berlin’s euphoric electronic sound with the harder club energy of Karsten Sollors and Zackiss, giving New Year’s Day its own identity between the festival’s NYE countdown and all-white Main Event.
- White Party Bangkok recommends arriving before 9 pm. The four Paragon Hall nights draw large crowds, and earlier entry gives you time to get through the festival’s admission and wristband checks before the main production builds.
The Venue – Paragon Hall
- Paragon Hall – Level 5, Siam Paragon, 991 Rama I Road, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330.
- The large indoor event venue was extensively renovated before reopening in 2024, giving White Party Bangkok a modern arena-style setting rather than a conventional nightclub.
- Its North and South halls combine into roughly 5,100 square metres of event space, allowing for large stages, LED production, dancers and thousands of guests.
- Siam BTS station connects directly with the Siam Paragon complex, making the venue easy to reach without relying on Bangkok traffic.
- Military Ball is included in the All Night Parties Pass covering AGM, AmaXon NYE, Military Ball and the White Party Main Event. Single-night GA and VIP tickets are available separately.

Where to Stay
Siam is the easiest base if White Party Bangkok is the main reason for your trip. Stay here and you can reach Paragon Hall on foot or by BTS. Silom is the better choice if you want to stay close to Bangkok’s main gay nightlife district.
