3 Events, Countless Stories
Bangkok Design Week 2026
From telling stories through the art of fragrant making, to tracing forgotten folklores in Thai ancient beliefs and exploring a thriving local neighborhood amid urban gentrification through self-guided audio tours, we are excited to bring you our 3 time-limited events specifically for Bangkok Design Week 2026!
Scented Stories of Fueang Nakhorn
Together, we’ll explore Fueang Nakhorn, a neighborhood shaped by royal roots and a vibrant commercial past, where Siamese heritage meets Western influence. As you take in its stories and atmosphere, you’ll capture your impressions of this living museum.
Then, guided by Saisalang, you’ll step into scent design, learning how fragrances are crafted and translating your journey into a one-of-a-kind perfume. Take home not just memories, but your own bottled story of Fueang Nakhorn.
