Bangkok Design Week 2026
Bangkok Design Week 2026
29 January – 8 February 2026 | Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok is set to welcome back one of its most inspiring creative festivals — Bangkok Design Week 2026 (BKKDW2026). Now in its 9th consecutive year, the festival is organized by the Creative Economy Agency (CEA) in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, public and private sectors, academic institutions, international organizations, and creative district partners.
More than a celebration of aesthetics, Bangkok Design Week positions design as a powerful tool for driving the economy, solving urban challenges, and improving quality of life. Over 11 days, creatives, designers, entrepreneurs, developers, and the public come together to explore how design can go beyond beauty and create real impact.
Main Creative Districts
Activities will take place across four key districts and other areas around the city:
- Charoenkrung – Talad Noi
- Phra Nakhon
- Pak Khlong Talat
- Banglamphu – Khao San
- plus additional locations throughout Bangkok

Bangkok Design Week 2026 is guided by three powerful keywords:
- S – Secure Domestic
Raising new standards to energize and strengthen Thailand’s domestic creative market. - O – Outreach Opportunities
Creating new opportunities and collaborations to connect Thai creativity with the global stage. - S – Sustainable Future
Exploring resilient and sustainable solutions to face future challenges.
