Bangkok gamescom preview: public entry starts 30 October as guest announcements build

What has changed

Fresh guest announcements are building interest in gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 in Bangkok, but visitors should check which part of the event their ticket covers. The public entertainment area opens 30 October–1 November; the industry programme begins a day earlier.

Online Station reported on 24 October that cosplayer Takomayuyi is among the announced guests for the Azur Promilia booth, alongside Minton, Nekota Ashu, Myrtle Sarrosa and Minus. The report identifies booth A1, but does not provide a separate appearance time for each guest.

Public days and industry days differ

The organiser’s official schedule places both parts of the show at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The business exhibition and conference run on 29–30 October in the first-floor Plenary Hall, with access restricted to eligible industry visitors.

The public entertainment area runs on 30 October, 31 October and 1 November in ground-floor Exhibition Halls 2–4. A public ticket does not automatically admit its holder to the business programme.

Tickets and opening hours

The official ticket page lists a one-day public pass at 200 baht and a one-day Fast Pass at 300 baht, including VAT. Fast Pass information advertises entry from 9.30am and a dedicated entrance lane.

There is a timing discrepancy worth checking before travel: the organiser’s detailed dates-and-times page lists public opening from 10am to 8pm, while ticket descriptions refer to access ending at 7pm. Confirm the applicable hours with the organiser and the terms on the ticket being purchased.

Plan around the appearance you want

For a particular guest, demonstration or stage programme, check the latest organiser or exhibitor timetable before choosing a day. An announcement that someone will attend the event does not establish that they will appear on all three public days.

Keep the ticket QR code accessible for wristband collection and agree a meeting point if visiting with others. Anyone hoping to attend industry sessions should check eligibility and registration separately, rather than buying a public pass on that assumption.
