Southeast Asia’s largest design festival is back. From January 29 to February 8, 2026, the 9th edition of Bangkok Design Week (BKKDW2026) will transform the capital into a sprawling canvas of innovation. Organized by the Creative Economy Agency (CEA), this year’s festival moves beyond aesthetics to position design as a critical tool for survival in a rapidly shifting world.
Forget the traditional "S.O.S." distress signal. In 2026, the theme "DESIGN S/O/S" stands for action and resilience. The festival is built on three strategic pillars designed to push the boundaries of the creative economy:
The festival activates nine major neighborhoods, but these four are the "must-visit" hubs for 2026:
| District | Highlight Focus |
| Charoenkrung - Talat Noi | The historic flagship zone featuring large-scale installations and the TCDC hub. |
| Phra Nakhon | A blend of heritage and design that reimagines old-town architecture. |
| Pak Khlong Talat | Artistic experimentation within Bangkok’s iconic 24-hour flower market. |
| Bang Lamphu - Khao San | Exploring the intersection of traditional community charm and modern tourism. |
Other active zones include Yaowarat, Bang Pho, Phrom Phong, Hua Lamphong, and Phra Khanong-Bang Na.
With over 1,000 creators participating, the program is packed. While many exhibitions are walk-in friendly, workshops and talks often require advance booking via the official BKKDW website.
Creative Markets: Shop for unique, locally-designed products you won't find anywhere else.
Exhibitions & Showcases: Immersive installations that turn city alleys into galleries.
Talks & Workshops: Learn directly from industry leaders and professional designers.
Music & Performing Arts: Catch the "Young Rising Competition," showcasing musical talent under 18.
