Sophon Suwannarat, the Governor of Phuket, confirmed that the decision was taken by Sermsak Phongpanich, the Minister of Culture, to have Phuket host the Thailand Biennale 2025 festival. The announcement came last Thursday and has since been widely celebrated by the island’s community.

 

The governor, during a press conference at the Provincial Hall, was joined by Anchalee Vanich Thepbut, the President of the Phuket Art Association. The two officials echoed the sentiment that it would be an honour for the province to host the month-long festival. They highlighted the potential benefits the event could bring, such as stimulating tourism and creating local job opportunities.


The Thailand Biennale is a biannual international contemporary art exhibition initiated by the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture, under the Ministry of Culture, Thailand. The 2025 event will mark the fourth edition of the festival, following successful events in Krabi (2018), Nakhon Ratchsima (2021), and Chiang Rai (2023).
