Thai Cargo Expo 2027 is scheduled for early March 2027 at BITEC in Bangkok, with Smart Delivery Expo and Smart Retail Expo alongside. TCEB lists 3 to 5 March and the venue lists 4 to 5 March, so Explera DMC plans delegations around the full three days until the organiser settles the dates.
Freight forwarders and airline cargo teams tend to ask us about one show a year in Bangkok, and for the air side it is Thai Cargo Expo. The 2027 edition has a small trap in it: the listings do not agree on the first day. Our Thailand team has written the full Thai Cargo Expo 2027 briefing. Here is the short version for agencies planning Thai Cargo Expo 2027 delegations alongside other destinations.
What Is Thai Cargo Expo 2027?
- Early March 2027 at BITEC, hall EH 100, in Bang Na. TCEB lists 3 to 5 March; BITEC's own page lists 4 to 5 March.
- The air side of logistics. Airlines and airports, cargo handlers, express and courier companies, and the software and automation behind them.
- Three shows in one hall. Connect Exposition Asia runs it with Smart Delivery Expo, for fulfilment and last-mile operations, and Smart Retail Expo, for retailers.
- A new month. The 2026 editions ran together from 28 to 30 January 2026, so clients comparing calendars may still have January in their heads.
How Should Agents Plan a Thai Cargo Expo Delegation?
- Hold three nights, release one later. We hold rooms across 3 to 5 March and give back the first night if the organiser confirms the shorter dates.
- Stay on the right side of town. Bang Na or a hotel on the Sukhumvit BTS line makes the daily run to BITEC easy.
- Start the site-visit requests now. For many groups the visits are the point: cargo terminals and free-zone warehouses around Suvarnabhumi, distribution centres along the Bangna-Trat road. Each needs the operator's approval, which takes weeks.
- Think about a second trip. TILOG-LOGISTIX returns to BITEC in August 2027 for warehousing and the wider supply chain. Larger companies often send different people to each.
