Starting the year off
right, PR students participated in
“Bangkok Design Week 2026,”
developing their media relations skills
and expanding their communication
strategy ideas. Recently, Ms. Lakkana
Ano and Ms. Athitiya Sibram, second-year
students in the Public Relations and
Strategic Communication program, visited
Bangkok Design Week 2026 to experience
Samsung's display technology
firsthand. This field trip provided
students with hands-on experience as
public relations professionals, from
welcoming media and gathering key
information for dissemination, to
developing creative communication skills
with a broader perspective. It sparked
new ideas to further their studies in
the PRS3201 Strategic Media Relations
course, taught by Assistant Professor
Rewadee Waiwasana, and related subjects,
as well as their future careers. We
would like to express our gratitude to
Ms. Pansa Chirachaitamrongsak (P'
Tangjai), an alumna of the Public
Relations program, class of 33, and Ms.
Panitpicha Kongsang (P' Ket), an
alumna of the Journalism program, class
of 25, for this wonderful opportunity.
They have ignited a new generation of
passionate public relations
professionals ready to move forward and
work professionally. The Bangkok Design
Week 2026, now in its 9th year, is
organized by the Creative Economy Agency
(Public Organization) or CEA, in
collaboration with the Bangkok
Metropolitan Administration, government
and private sector agencies, educational
institutions, international
organizations, and creative economy
networks. Under the concept of
“DESIGN S/O/S,” a signal for
“Doing/Making/Survival,” the
event highlights creative design that
blends Thai identity with cutting-edge
technology – a crucial tool for
driving a new economic society and
improving the long-term quality of life
for citizens. The festival takes place
from January 29th to February 8th, 2026,
in four main areas: Charoen Krung -
Talat Noi, Phra Nakhon, Pak Khlong
Talat, Bang Lamphu - Khao San, and other
areas throughout Bangkok.
