The Hitchhiker's Guide to Bangkok

Some community members have secured discounted hotel rooms in Bangkok close to the Devcon venue.

Devcon is a non-profit event about the future of technology, computing, and society, and it's coming to Bangkok, Thailand!

Southeast Asia has many strong grassroots Ethereum communities and activities around technology, crypto, and using Ethereum for social good.

Bangkok, the capital and most populous city of Thailand is a great place to welcome our global Ethereum community, with low visa restrictions and great accessibility.

The festival involves floating decorated baskets (krathongs) on water to honor the river goddess Phra Mae Khongkha, symbolizing the letting go of negativity and making wishes for the future.

Bangkok is served by two major airports: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK). Suvarnabhumi, the newer of the two, is Bangkok’s main international gateway, while Don Mueang is used primarily for domestic flights.

From Suvarnabhumi Airport, you can easily reach the city center via the Airport Rail Link (ARL), which connects to the BTS Skytrain system and MRT (Metro). Taxis and ride-sharing services like Grab are also available, with a journey to central Bangkok taking approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic.

Don Mueang Airport is further from the city center but offers similar options. You can take the A1 bus to the nearest BTS station (Mo Chit) or the SRT train service (The Red line) connecting to Krungthep Apiwat station and interchange to MRT Blue line to get to the city such as QSNCC station, Silom station etc.  You can also use a taxi or Grab, with travel times varying between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your destination and traffic.

We call it Devcon Southeast Asia because the entire region deserves this significant Ethereum community event coming to their country. Ethereum communities in SEA are very active and many want to see Ethereum succeed. Ethereum has real use cases in SEA, with high crypto adoption in Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Bangkok was selected for its low visa restrictions, excellent connectivity via Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), and abundance of hotels. The QSNCC is a huge, modern venue that has recently been renovated and is equipped to meet all of Devcon’s needs.

We can't wait for the global Ethereum community to meet Bangkok and the Ethereum communities of Southeast Asia!
