Bangkok’s New World of Tomorrow

Bangkok has welcomed a bold new attraction this month, and it’s already setting the tone for the city’s next chapter. NEXTOPIA, newly opened at Siam Paragon, is more than a showcase of innovation—it is a fully immersive “prototype city of the future,” created through global collaboration and a strong commitment to sustainability and community-driven development.

For travelers looking to explore Bangkok beyond its iconic temples, markets, and nightlife, NEXTOPIA offers a fresh and forward-thinking experience that connects culture, creativity, and global responsibility under one roof.

A Global First: Building a Better World Together

NEXTOPIA stands out not just for its scale, but for its collaborative spirit. It brings together leading organizations such as:

and over 50 visionary partners.

This makes NEXTOPIA one of the most internationally connected projects ever launched in Thailand—an attraction where ideas, expertise, and innovation flow in from around the world.
