SEA THE CHANGE

The Thai Coral Reef and Marine Life Conservation Foundation invites everyone to embark on a journey into the world of marine conservation at YOUNG Rak Talay: SEA THE CHANGE, a major annual marine conservation exhibition that opens a space for learning, hands-on participation, and collective action to help restore Thailand’s seas.

The event will take place from 29 July - 12 August 2026 at NEX Hall, 5th Floor, Siam Paragon, with free admission throughout the event.

This large-scale exhibition brings together the power of the public sector, private sector, and younger generations to raise awareness and inspire visitors to become “guardians of the sea.” The event features a cutting-edge 360° Immersive Experience that takes visitors into the beauty of the underwater world, along with more than 30 activities combining knowledge, creativity, and fun.

More than an exhibition, SEA THE CHANGE is an experience that reminds everyone that the ocean is not far from our everyday lives, and meaningful change can begin with each of us.

Dive into the Underwater World Through a 360° Immersive Experience

The journey begins with a 360° Immersive Experience that surrounds visitors with realistic visuals and sounds of the underwater world. Audiences will encounter marine life, glowing giant jellyfish, and the beauty of the ocean before being introduced to the challenges facing Thailand’s seas and the urgent need for change.

Learn the Stories Behind Marine Restoration

Inside the Exhibition Area, visitors will discover the work of researchers, conservationists, and partner organizations through accessible and interactive exhibitions. Key highlights include:

Observing microplastics up close

• Learning about coral reef restoration
• Exploring a marine animal emergency room
• Discovering the royal initiatives in marine conservation inspired by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya

Over 30 Activities Across 15 Days

The event offers more than 30 activities, including talks and workshops designed for all ages to learn and take action. Activities include:

• Coral planting workshops
• Preparation for conservation diving
• Learning how to reduce waste entering the ocean
• Talks by researchers, conservationists, and marine experts

These programs are designed to help visitors understand the connection between daily life and the ocean, while inspiring practical action for sustainable marine conservation.

Shop with Purpose and Support Communities

Another highlight is the Community Market, featuring community products and eco-friendly goods from networks across Thailand. Visitors can support local economies while contributing to the sustainable protection of Thailand’s marine environment.

Because change begins with everyone, whether you are a child, student, family member, diver, or someone who has never thought of the sea as part of daily life, SEA THE CHANGE will help you discover that every lifestyle choice is connected to the ocean, and everyone can play a role in creating a new future for our seas.
