One of the highlights of our visit to Bangkok was being able to witness the weekend Cosplay and dance program at MBK mall. We actually didn't have any idea that they have special shows on weekend. We just happened to pass by at MBK as we initially planned to watch a movie before I send the kids to the airport at night time. On our way to the mall, we chanced upon these cute Thai teenagers wearing cute costumes. It's my first time to see this so I was not aware what's going on and the kids told me that, that was actually a "Cosplay" which stands for "costume play". I haven't seen this kind of thing yet in the Philippines so I really don't have any idea about Cosplay. We were entertained by their lovely costumes and they were really posing for pictures. Here are some of the pictures that we had and my personal favorites:
I really like the face of this Thai teenage kid. Isn't she so cute? :)
Both my son and daughter grabbed the chance to have a photo taken
with some of the Cos players. :)
Another two cute Thai girls! :)
Another photo with a Cos player.
The fun and excitement did not end there as we were still able to watch a program participated by those talented Thai students. The show is free and I guess that it's a part of the weekend activities of this Thai group of teenagers.
Having able to witness a Cosplay at Bangkok was indeed a beautiful experience. All of us really had a great time. :)
Costume players are always in these days. There's always COsplay events at SM and seeing them live indeed brings a lot of excitement especially for teenagers. Obvious naman na natuwa ang 2 mong anak, Krizz. An experience worth remembering.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see people in Cosplay and take pictures of them... but I haven't been given the chance! You are so lucky!
ReplyDeletethose were really cute. I which I got a chance to witness cosplay too.
ReplyDeleteHi Krizza! Nice experience you have here! I have not been to a Cosplaying event as well but I've heard a lot about it. I'm always amazed at their costumes and make ups! It's like cartoons in real life! :)
ReplyDeleteThere are Cosplayers here too, sis. I so love their costumes, but I don't think I will be letting my daughters join hehe (so mahal the costumes and the makeup)
ReplyDeletei agree with Lainy maraming teens ang nahahaling sa cosplay dito sa pinas, grabe ang appeal at popularity nito sa teens... infact dami nilang events and competition whole year round
ReplyDeletebut, dressing up in costumes and engaging in roleplay of favorite characters, not my type hahaha
Cosplay is also quite popular over here in Singapore. I do love the way some of the girls are doll up as anime characters
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I have fears with their eyes especially the human dolls. But they are so cute naman.

I wish someone wore the costume in Maidsama. I'd love my kids to encounter a cosplay when they're older. They're still at the age where they enjoy mascots.
ReplyDeleteCosplays are also held here in Philippines. Unfortunately I haven't witnessed any personally. I only see the players on photos when some friends posted them.
ReplyDeleteohh.. that is in deed a cool experience.. you're right the thai teenage on the first photo is really cute, she looks like a doll..
ReplyDeleteCosplayers here in the Philippines are good too.. I have friends who really into Cosplays and really put time and effort in their costumes. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is an annual Cosplay event actually here in Metro Manila. It's an interesting gathering actually. Last year, the theme of our office Christmas party went on Cosplay. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have cosplay people here also, although I have not seen one in person yet. They make a big hype on cosplay but from an objective view, I think it is not much different from Disney parades or other parades where people wear costumes to look like someone or something. Anyway, I think it's an event that is a feast for the eyes, what with all the colors. You don't get to see pink haired girls everyday hehehe.
ReplyDeleteaha! cosplay is costume play pala. and yun pala ang tawag sa mga ganun. they look so cute but just like reese, its not my thing. i cant pull that look off hehe.
ReplyDeletethose thai girls are so cute with their costume; i have a pamangkin who is crazy with this cosplaying
ReplyDeletethe girl in the first photo really looks like a doll. very pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a cosplay, it's so fascinating. My husband loves Anime, so I don't need to drag him to the event! He will also love it for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm not into cosplay pero nice to look at the creative costumes talaga. Our company party starting in an hour has an anime cosplay theme.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of cosplay events here and there a lot who are able to do justice to the character they are trying to portray. If cosplay were already around when I was a teen, I'd probably have joined events too. :)
ReplyDeleteyour kids are happy to have witness the cosplay and the program in the mall for free..
ReplyDeleteim not into cosplay either but i think their make ups and costumes looks soo interesting...and cute if i may add.
ReplyDeleteCosplaying is the in thing for TEENS this days. You can see them wearing their cosplaying outfits with or without event.
ReplyDeleteLove anime very much and mostly cosplayers get their character from it. I would love to do one cosplay but not yet sure when will I be able to do that. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteCosplay seems to be popular for anime lovers here in the Philippines. It's fun for the kids and photographers.
ReplyDeleteI've witnessed this too at Trinoma and my family and I were really amused and entertained at how meticulous the participants were with their creative costumes.
ReplyDeleteThose teenagers look like they stepped out from an Anime movie. Haha. So cute!
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like a very nice experience for you...I am scared of people who do/dress cosplay. I dunno.
ReplyDeleteWow! They all look like anime in person. Hahaha! Sila na ang fan ever :)
ReplyDeleteCE 12/4
That's it!! I'm going to Bangkok
ReplyDeleteThese teenagers are really cute; I love their costumes and hair styles. I especially love the first picture. She is so cute like a doll.
