Thai broadcaster BEC World has started the countdown to its 55th anniversary in March 2025.

The Bangkok-based media company began laying the groundwork for next year’s milestone during this year’s 54th birthday extravaganza this month, testing a new location and format and upping star performances.   

This year’s event wrapped in Bangkok on 23 March at a new venue in the heart of Bangkok, ditching the traditional open-top car parade for a line up of stage performances from some of its top stars. 

Among the 120 stars involved in this month’s show were newly weds Mark Prin and Kimberley Anne Woltemas, who took to the stage at half time along with Nadech Kugimiya and Yaya Urassaya, and Alek Teeradetch and Bow Maylada. The fan-event also featured rising stars Mikey Panitan, Tate Myron and Amanda Chalisa Obdam.

A central element of the annual anniversary celebrations is a soccer match. 

The anniversary event was streamed live on Ch3, 3+ and Ch3’s YouTube Channel.
