What is R+T South-East Asia 2026?
R+T is Messe Stuttgart's fair for roller shutters, sun shading, doors and gates, and the Bangkok show is the seventh event in its R+T Alliance. Landesmesse Stuttgart organises it with Worldex G.E.C. of Thailand. It shares BITEC with two other building shows on the same dates: DOMOTEX South East Asia, the flooring and interiors brand's first edition in the region, and FutureBuild Asia, which covers building materials and construction technology. One hotel and one coach plan covers all three.
Who should travel to R+T South-East Asia 2026?
Importers and distributors of blinds, awnings, shutters and garage or industrial doors, installers looking for regional suppliers, and architects and facade consultants who specify shading for hot climates. Check how the organiser handles visitor registration and complete it for each delegate before departure. Engineers can stay on for the following week, covered in our briefing on METALEX 2026 at BITEC, and architects planning ahead should look at Architect Expo 2027 at IMPACT.
How should agents plan the trip?
Three nights, 10 to 13 November, cover all three show days. Mid-November is the start of the high season, so central Bangkok fills quickly; hotels in Bang Na and along the Sukhumvit BTS line are the practical choice, because BITEC sits beside Bang Na BTS station. Our Bangkok guide covers the main hotel areas.
How can a Thailand DMC help?
Rooms first: a Thailand DMC can still hold a block in Bang Na if you move this week, and beds are the one thing that cannot be fixed later. Once they are secure, our MICE team books the meeting room and group dinner and our transport desk runs the airport transfers and the short hop to BITEC. The full list sits on our Thailand DMC services page.

Yes. It is the first R+T show in South-East Asia and the seventh event in the R+T Alliance led by Messe Stuttgart.
What else is on at BITEC that week?
DOMOTEX South East Asia and FutureBuild Asia run on the same dates, so flooring, interiors and building-materials buyers can join the same group. METALEX follows at BITEC from 18 to 21 November.
Can you arrange showroom or project visits?
We can request them and handle the transport, but each company decides on access and group size, so send the names you have in mind as early as possible.
