Giant Squid Game Dolls Bangkok: Play the Game, June 28 to July 6

Just in time for the Final Season of Netflix’s global phenomenon Squid Game, two towering animatronic dolls — Younghee and her male counterpart Cheolsu — have landed in Bangkok. Standing 12 meters tall, these mechanical giants are the centerpiece of a new interactive experience at Lan Khon Mueang, inviting the public to physically engage with the iconic skipping rope game from the series.

Organized in collaboration with Netflix Thailand, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), this free activation allows visitors to step into the world of Squid Game — safely, and without the deadly stakes.

Public Can Join the Skipping Challenge

Unlike passive displays, the Giant Squid Game Dolls Bangkok installation is fully participatory. Fans and curious visitors alike can test their reflexes in the skipping challenge, inspired by the Final Season’s storyline. The event officially opens June 28 and runs until July 6, located in the plaza area in front of City Hall near the Giant Swing.

Operating Hours:

  • Weekends (June 28–29, July 5–6): 09:00–21:00
  • Weekdays (June 30–July 4): 16:00–21:00

Participation Requirements:

  • Minimum height: 120 cm
  • No running or pushing
  • Flat, secure footwear required (no heels or sandals)
  • Health notice: Individuals with heart conditions, epilepsy, high blood pressure, or pregnancy are advised not to participate

A First for Southeast Asia

This marks the first-ever installation where both Younghee and Cheolsu appear together in a fully interactive format. The Bangkok event has been engineered to scale, safety, and spectacle — showcasing the city as a rising hub for cultural tourism and immersive entertainment.

“This isn’t just a photo opportunity,” said a representative from Netflix Asia. “It’s a regional milestone for pop culture engagement. And it’s happening right here in Bangkok.”

Final Season Drops Globally June 27

As anticipation builds for the conclusion of the critically acclaimed Korean drama, this event serves as both a teaser and tribute to the world Netflix built. The Final Season of Squid Game premieres globally on June 27. Fans can catch up or re-watch previous episodes by visiting the official Squid Game page on Netflix.

Why It Matters

  • Positions Bangkok as a flagship destination for global fan experiences
  • Encourages tourism, local foot traffic, and viral social media activity
  • Sets a new precedent for interactive entertainment in Southeast Asia

Final Word

From the moment the dolls begin turning, the stakes change — not for survival, but for fun, fandom, and bragging rights. Bangkok becomes the first and only city to host this unique Squid Game challenge, open to the public and free of charge.

The game begins June 28. You in?
