Bangkok - Thailand
The Thai capital, Bangkok, is preparing to host the third edition of the Extraordinary Travel Festival during the period from October 22 to 25, 2026 at the Ambassador Bangkok Hotel, in an unconventional gathering that includes an elite group of travelers, adventurers, and travel content makers, some of whom have reached almost all countries of the world.

More than 40 travel stories

More than 40 speakers are scheduled to participate in the festival in key sessions, discussions, and specialized workshops covering travel to remote destinations, planning exceptional trips, and creating travel content, in addition to personal experiences of travelers whose adventures went beyond the limits of traditional tourism.

The organizers of the event point out that visiting all 193 member states of the United Nations is an achievement that is still very rare, as they estimate the number of people who have completed this trip at only about 500 people around the world.

From 193 countries into space
The list of speakers includes Jaime Aleman, who visited all 193 countries, the North and South Poles, and traveled to space, and Kach Medina Omandap, who completed visits to all countries with a Philippine passport, in addition to the Danish traveler Thor Pedersen, who visited every country in the world during a ten-year journey without using airplanes.

Ghazarian: A Celebration of Exploration

Rick Ghazarian, co-founder and organizer of the festival, said that the event is more than just a meeting, describing it as a celebration of “global exploration and human connection,” noting that Bangkok provides the appropriate environment to bring together this rare group of travelers.

Bangkok benefits tourism

The program is not limited to conference halls; The events include tours and activities before and after the festival within Thailand, which turns the event itself into a tourism product that benefits hotels, restaurants, and local tours.

For the Arab traveler, the festival offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from people who have reached the most difficult and isolated destinations, and to obtain practical experiences that go beyond traditional travel guides.
