Bangkok Design Week 2026 puts spotlight on Thai designThe Creative Economy Agency (public organisation) or CEA, in collaboration with a wide network of public and private partners, ranging from government agencies, businesses, associations, academic institutions, designers, creatives, communities and international allies, has officially opened Bangkok Design Week 2026 (BKKDW2026) — Southeast Asia’s largest design festival. Chaiyong Ratana-Angkura, chairman of the Creative Economy Agency, said: “This year, Bangkok Design Week has been elevated as a landmark that clearly reflects Bangkok’s creative and design capabilities. CEA’s mission is to drive the country’s creative economy by developing people, businesses, and cities to grow together. Bangkok Design Week is therefore not merely a design festival, but a platform that brings design into ‘real action’ within urban and economic contexts. It drives Bangkok forward as a Unesco Creative City of Design, using design as a tool to develop the city, economy, and quality of life.
