GI Market Roadshow Brings Thai Geographical Indication Products to Khon Kaen
The Department of Intellectual Property is hosting a 'GI Market Roadshow' at Central Khon Kaen from August 3–9, 2026, featuring premium regional products from across Thailand.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) under the Ministry of Commerce has launched the latest installment of its 'GI Market Roadshow.' Following a successful event in Hat Yai, Songkhla, the initiative has moved to the northeastern region, specifically at the Central Khon Kaen shopping center.
The event, which runs from August 3 to August 9, 2026, showcases a curated selection of Geographical Indication (GI) products sourced from various provinces throughout Thailand. These items are recognized for their unique regional characteristics and quality standards. In addition to the product exhibitions, the event features mini-concerts by well-known artists to attract visitors.
For travelers and residents in the area, this market offers a convenient opportunity to purchase authentic regional goods that are typically only available in their specific provinces of origin. It serves as a platform for local entrepreneurs to expand their market reach. While the event is scheduled to conclude on August 9, 2026, those planning to attend should verify the specific daily schedules for performances or vendor availability directly with the venue, as these details may be subject to change. The DIP continues to promote these roadshows as part of a broader strategy to support local economies and increase the visibility of Thailand's diverse cultural and agricultural heritage.
