Deputy Governor Sanon attended the Thai Content Experience 2026 event to announce the success of the One Stop Service system, which has supported 349 Thai and international film crews since its launch nearly two years ago.
On 13 Aug 2026 at Paragon Hall, 5th floor, Siam Paragon, Pathumwan district, Mr. Sanon Wangsangboon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, joined the opening ceremony of Thai Content Experience 2026. The event was presided over by Ms. Sabida Thaiset, Minister of Culture, accompanied by Mr. Chalakorn Panyakhom, TCX 2026 Director, along with media and content industry entrepreneurs and relevant network partners.
Thai Content Experience 2026 (TCX) is organized through collaboration among Thai media and content industry entrepreneurs, supported by the Department of Cultural Promotion, Ministry of Culture. It is a major event connecting all dimensions of Thai content industries, including film, drama, series, documentaries, animation, digital media, entertainment technology, live performances, and digital platforms. The event focuses on enhancing the capabilities of Thailand's creative industry through knowledge exchange, innovation, and international experiences. Beyond being a grand expo, TCX serves as a central hub offering opportunities for content producers, creators, entrepreneurs, investors, and consumers to connect and drive sustainable global growth. Admission is free throughout the event at Paragon Hall, 5th floor, from 13 to 16 August 2026, 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Bangkok has contributed to advancing the industry by setting up a booth presenting the One Stop Service Center, which coordinates filming permits within Bangkok and provides information on related regulations. This reduces steps, increases clarity, and facilitates both Thai and international film crews to complete processes conveniently and swiftly in one place.
Deputy Governor Sanon explained Bangkok's role in supporting Thailand's content industry, saying that the city mainly manages locations because producers from various associations agreed that the main problem is the complexity of obtaining filming location permits, which involve many agencies and lack a central coordinator.Bangkokhas taken on the role of the main coordinator to reduce complexity, starting by streamlining internal procedures within Bangkok agencies, such as district offices. For example, matters involving public parks are coordinated with the Environment Office, and historical sites with the Office of City Planning and Development.
The collaboration then expanded to external agencies such as the police, Ministry of Transport, and the National Housing Authority—more than 10 organizations in total—to jointly develop the One Stop Service system. This provides a single-point comprehensive service via the website publicspace.bangkok.go.th, allowing film crews to conveniently request location use. The system has been operational since November 2024, serving 349 film crews so far—295 Thai and 54 international—and covering over 706 locations.
Regarding the permit application process, once users submit detailed information through the website, officials manage requests via Traffy Fondue, which enforces clear timelines by requiring officials to respond within seven days. If documents are incomplete, users receive immediate instructions to submit additional materials.
