Iconsiam invites the public and tourists to join in honoring the late Queen Sirikit while continuing her mission to preserve Thai arts, crafts, textiles, and local wisdom through exhibitions, activities, and creative works throughout August 2025.

The month begins with a tribute exhibition titled "Sirikit the Queen: The Nation's Beloved Heart" (August 1–8) at Thara Hall, Walk Way, and Arts Way on the M floor. The exhibition conveys Her Majesty's grace through works by national artists and accomplished artists across five art forms, featuring 3D animation screenings, panel discussions, and charity displays.

From August 11–13, the Office of the Prime Minister, through the Public Relations Department, presents "Legacy of Thai Textiles & Fashion" at Charoen Nakhon and Thara Halls on the M floor. Organized under the theme "Legacy: Creative Continuity & Creativity," the event showcases over 100 pieces from 10 model communities across Thailand, alongside talks by leading designers and contemporary Thai textile fashion shows featuring models and celebrities to champion Thai soft power globally.

S'CRAFT, under the SIRIVANNAVARI brand in partnership with Iconcraft, launches a limited collection of Thai textile bags titled "THREADS OF LEGACY: S'CRAFT 2026." Drawing inspiration from Her Majesty's textile legacy, the collection consists of 88 limited-edition bags handwoven by Thai artisans, displayed and sold from August 11–31.

Throughout August, Iconcraft on floors 4–5 presents "THAI TEXTILE HEROES 2026," highlighting Thai textiles, crafts, and local wisdom. The program includes youth artwork exhibitions, the Cultural Textile Awards 2026 showcase, and the "Thai Textiles: Wear Them With Joy" exhibition, following the royal initiative of Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana.

From August 11–16, Iconsiam partners with the Thai Crafts and Design Foundation to host "Her Majesty the Queen's Blossoms" at Vatthana Hall on floor 3, presenting stories of flowers given royal names, Thai handicraft demonstrations, and sales of products from the Thai Crafts and Design Foundation.

A major highlight is the launch of the "Thai Textiles Trend Book SPRING/SUMMER 2027," developed under the royal initiative "Thai Textiles: Wear Them With Joy." The book will be on display from August 11–14 at Suralai Hall on floor 7, presenting the concept "Village to the World," elevating Thai textile wisdom to contemporary design and international fashion industry standards.
