2024 Highlights: Unique Experiences At Wonderfruit This Year
Today, Wonderfruit is recognized as Asia's most celebrated cultural exploration, connecting sound, mind, and nature with well-being, delivered by a uniquely Thai approach. Some of the highlights not to miss this year include:
Molam World: A vibrant celebration of Isaan culture through music, food, and art, Molam Village expands into Molam World. Explore the Theatre of Eats with authentic culinary delights from 12 regional vendors in a night market setting, a new farm tower, the Molam Bus, and Gallery by Jim Thompson Art Center. Experience the rich traditions of Northeast Thailand by enjoying Molam and world performances curated by Maft Sai from ZudRangMa Records and engaging in heritage crafts like phin-making workshops with the Kammao and Phinprainn family.
Wonderness: The wellness sanctuary within The Fields is expanding this year, offering more than 100 contemplative activities that go beyond physical practices to nurture the mind as well. Guests can immerse themselves in spaces like the Bath House, Unconditional Space, Ancestral Forest, and Slow Wonder's permanent luxury cabins. Whether it's family-friendly activities or wellness workshops, everything here is designed to inspire mindfulness and exploration.
Sonic Minds: Explore the impact of sound on health through programs like Sonic Minds in collaboration with MSCTY_Studio. Sonic Minds is an evolution of past projects that offers a space for Wonderers to explore the future of sound, space, health, and well-being. This scientific project began with an exclusive sound camp in September and will extend through and beyond the festival. Sonic Minds will feature activations across Enfold, Polygon Live, and Ancestral Forest during Wonderfruit 2024, with audio collected from the camp playing a central role.
Rewilding Project: Wonderfruit's cultivation of the land is also taking center stage this year and its commitment to rewilding continues, with over 30,000 indigenous saplings planted using diverse reforestation techniques since 2022. This year, 1,000 additional trees have been set aside for Wonderers to plant, further enhancing The Fields' ecosystem. The Farm, a cornerstone of Wonderfruit's plans for the future, will also expand, showcasing functional and medicinal plants that enrich both the workshops and dining experiences.
Dining Experiences in The Fields: Community and cross-pollination are central to the Wonderfruit theme, and this year's culinary collaborations reflect that spirit. At Wonder Kitchen, chefs like Dylan Eitharong from Haawm, Chef Prin Polsuk from Samrub Samrub Thai, and Lady GooGoo will craft unique themed dining experiences that explore bold new dishes, food as medicine, and sustainable practices. The newly evolved Open Kitchen offers a table service restaurant inspired by Thailand's Mae-Khrua (Mother's Kitchen), where guests can enjoy time-honored family recipes in an intimate wooden sala with views of The Fields.
A Diverse Exploration of Sound: Wonderfruit 2024 will offer innovative collaborations and experimental soundscapes. At Forest Stage, Bottlesmoker x Modern Biology will create music by plugging into nature and mushrooms. The reimagined Polygon Live will feature 360? spatial audio and a special collaboration between Photay and Tuvan throat singers Huun-Huur-Tu. Wayne McGregor's Autobiography (v104) with Jlin at Creature Stage redefines choreography by merging DNA sequencing, personal memoirs, and AI. Additionally, Forbidden Fruit's new location, set on a gentle slope by the lotus pond, merges seamlessly with nature. It invites Wonderers on a soulful journey, perfect for sunset contemplation and dancing under the stars.
Wonderfruit's sustainability efforts this year are centered on advancing a fully circular economy, going beyond surface-level initiatives to establish lasting ecological impact. Over the years, The Fields have transformed into a permanent village, complete with sustainable infrastructure. This includes fixed structures that merge with nature, a dedicated waste management team, and advanced water filtration systems that support sustainable resource management throughout the event. Wonderfruit has been certified a carbon-neutral event since 2017 and continues to ban single-use plastics while promoting widespread recycling and upcycling.
