Located at the Attraction Hall on the 6th floor of ICONSIAM, this immersive indoor exhibition spans over 2,000 square metres. The 100% Manga Art Exhibition features vibrant installations, dazzling lights, and themed sub-zones that bring Doraemon, Nobita, and the rest of the gang to life.

Expect to see life-sized Doraemon sculptures, rare original manga artwork, and cleverly designed scenes straight out of your favourite episodes. It’s also a haven for photo lovers, with creative photo spots where you and your friends can pose as if you’ve just stepped into Nobita’s neighbourhood.

Head to the G Floor of ICONSIAM for a unique outdoor experience at the 100% Doraemon River Park Exhibition. Set against the picturesque Chao Phraya River, this zone will run from May 1 to June 15, 2025 and features more than 90 Doraemon and friends sculptures in various poses.

The highlight? A massive 12-metre inflatable Doraemon that towers above the rest, perfect for unforgettable snapshots and sure to be an Instagram favourite.

Limited edition Thai-inspired designs

Adding a fun local twist, the exhibition also introduces Thai-themed Doraemon designs that fans can only see in Bangkok. One of the standouts is a playful Doraemon dressed like a traditional Thai elephant — a nod to the host country’s culture that also makes for a quirky souvenir.

Another highlight is the “100% Friends-Calling Bell”, a special gadget inspired by the exhibition’s theme, “Friends calling time!” Fans can shake it to symbolically call their friends and share the moment. It’s small details like this that make the exhibition more than just a photo op — it’s an experience rooted in nostalgia, joy, and connection.
