Thailand to Host 'World of Coffee Bangkok 2026', Elevating the Thai Coffee Industry to the Global Stage
Thailand is preparing to welcome the world-class coffee festival 'World of Coffee Bangkok 2026', a significant event that brings together experts and entrepreneurs from the coffee industry across the globe in one place. The event aims to drive new standards for Thailand's specialty coffee scene, ensuring it gains international recognition.
The event will be held from May 7 to 9, 2026, at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bangna. Attendees will encounter a wide range of engaging activities, most notably the world-renowned World Cup Tasters Championship, which tests the cupping skills of competitors from various countries.
Furthermore, there will be a special zone called 'Roaster Village', a space for leading coffee roasters to showcase and share knowledge about modern roasting processes. This includes the exchange of techniques to further improve the quality of coffee beans, which will be highly beneficial to farmers and coffee shop operators in Thailand.
Hosting this event is not only about creating a space for coffee lovers to meet, but it also serves as an opportunity to open doors for business and build collaborative networks between Thai coffee producers and international markets. This will help promote Thailand's image as a source of high-quality coffee, ensuring it becomes even more well-known in the future.
