Attended by Bang Phlat District Director Manita Rujasiri, district executives, creative district development committees, artists, and community networks, the festival was organized under the BMA&#8217;s Creative District Development Project by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department and Bang Phlat District Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative aims to elevate Bang Phlat into a prominent creative district by leveraging its rich historical connection to the Ayutthaya period, vibrant cultural capital, and riverside heritage to boost local tourism and drive the creative economy. Miss Kanokwan highlighted that Bang Phlat\u2019s centuries-old legacy along the Chao Phraya River serves as a vital foundation for generating economic value while engaging citizens and tourists through diverse activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlights of the event included local art exhibitions, traditional Thai-tone painting and paper-craft workshops, a multivision performance inside the ordination hall, Garuda dance showcases, a traditional Thai dress competition, a photography contest, and a bustling community market featuring local culinary delicacies and artisanal goods. As a key milestone in the BMA\u2019s &#8220;50 Creative Districts&#8221; policy, the event demonstrates how cultural preservation and community-led economic development can harmonize to foster sustainable urban tourism and safeguard historical identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#AyutthayaInBangPhlat #BangkokCreativeDistrict #WatMaiThepNimit #BangkokMetropolitanAdministration #BMA #Bangkok<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 2, 2026, Miss Kanokwan Eiamlim, Deputy Perman &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/?p=634587\" class=\"more-link\">\u0e2d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e19\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e21<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;BMA Deputy Permanent Secretary Opens &#8220;Ayutthaya in Bang Phlat&#8221; Event to Showcase Creative District Charm and Cultural Heritage&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":634721,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-634587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eng0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=634587"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":634726,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634587\/revisions\/634726"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/634721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=634587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=634587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=634587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
