From Mar. 6 to 8, 2026, ChangChui Creative Park lights up once again as People Festival makes its return to Bangkok, marking a new chapter for the event formerly known as the Beer People Festival!
Organized annually by Beer People (ประชาชนเบียร์), the gathering has quietly evolved beyond a traditional beer fest. This year’s edition leans into a wider drinking culture, spotlighting not only craft beer, but a growing lineup of local spirits, regional alcohol, natural wine, and community-made pours — taking over the tent spaces spread throughout the park.
Photo from Instagram/Beer People
The biggest change for this year is the organizers’ dropping the word “Beer” from the festival name, and it’s a clear reflection of what the festival has become: a celebration of Thailand’s craft scene, welcoming more makers, drinkers, creatives, and curious connoisseurs into the community.
Now called the People Festival, the three-day event mirrors how the local drinking culture is changing — less about finishing the bottle, more about the people behind it. Expect stories, origins, experiments, and flavors that go beyond the glass and into the world at People Festival!
For more information and updates, follow Beer People on Facebook and Instagram.

Bangkok Design Week makes its return from Jan. 29 to Feb. 8, 2026, with “DESIGN S/O/S” as the festival’s central theme.
Now in its ninth edition, the city-wide festival will once again unfold in key creative districts across the city, such as Charoen Krung, Talat Noi, Phra Nakhon, Pak Khlong Talat, Yaowarat, Bang Pho, Phrom Phong, Hua Lamphong, Bang Lamphu-Khao San, and Phra Khanon-Bang Na, alongside more pop-up venues throughout Bangkok.

The concept is built around three pillars: Secure Domestic, which aims to strengthen the local market; Outreach Opportunities, focused on creating international collaborations; and Sustainable Future, exploring innovative paths towards long-term resilience.
Photo from Instagram/Bangkok Design WeekPhoto from Instagram/Bangkok Design Week
The 2026 program continues the festival’s mission to spotlight contemporary Thaidesign, reinterpreting local materials, patterns, and techniques through modern approaches while embracing and championing a distinct national design identity on the global stage.

Calling all UFO believers — and the extraterrestrial-curious. Pop culture is set to host the first-ever UFO-themed festival this February 2026 at the Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam in Nakhon Nayok.
Dubbed as the country’s first event of its kind, the festival aims to gather UFO enthusiasts, alien-watchers, and curious travelers for a weekend dedicated to all things otherworldly. Often described as a niche subject met with raised eyebrows, mockery, and skepticism, UFO culture has found a steady, renewed interest worldwide in recent years, fueled by speculation and pop culture.

Thailand’s own extraterrestrial scene has also been quietly growing. In Nakhon Sawan, Khao Kala — often dubbed the “Area 51 of Asia” — has long been a hotspot among UFO enthusiasts, with past reports claiming sightings and landings in the area. The previously held “Belief Fest” also drew believers and curious visitors alike.
The upcoming festival forms a part of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)’s 2026 tourism strategy, which focuses on higher-quality, value-led travel experiences for travelers. This includes its “Amazing 5 Economy” framework, with the UFO festival falling under its Sub-Culture Economy category. The agency has also set a target of three million baht for the year.
Set against the backdrop of Thailand’s longest concrete dam, the festival is said to feature UFO-themed activities, sci-fi aesthetics, programs, and immersive experiences that celebrate UFO lore and the search for life beyond Earth.
