“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” – Albert Einstein

In 2026, the world belongs to the makers, the dreamers, and the doers. If you are looking for fresh inspiration or simply want to witness pure, unadulterated creativity, pack your bags for Bangkok. The city is hosting “Maker Jam 2026,” the ultimate festival for inventors and artists, set within the artistic playground of ChangChui Creative Park.

To balance the high energy of the festival, you need a sanctuary to rest and reflect. Enter Hotel Bangkokian, a boutique urban oasis in the Ratchaprarop district. We offer the perfect blend of artistic vibes and serene relaxation, making us the ideal base for your creative getaway.

What to Expect at Maker Jam 2026

1. The Cardboard Parade: This is not your average parade. Participants will don elaborate armors and costumes made entirely from recycled cardboard, marching through the park like friendly monsters. It’s a visual spectacle of sustainability and imagination.
2. Hebocon (Crappy Robot Battle): Prepare to laugh until it hurts. This competition features low-tech, hastily assembled robots battling it out in the most ungraceful way possible. It’s a celebration of failure, fun, and the joy of trying.
3. Maker Market: Forget mass-produced souvenirs. Browse stalls filled with handmade gadgets, unique art toys, and craft kits sold directly by the creators. It’s the perfect place to find a one-of-a-kind gift.
4. Creative Vehicles: Witness strange and wonderful vehicles that actually run! From wind-powered scooters to modified bicycles, these contraptions prove that engineering can be art.
5. Interactive Art & AR: Step into the future with Augmented Reality (AR) zones where digital creatures come to life through your phone screen, and interact with AI-driven art installations.
