Write a letter now, read it in 2029. That’s the idea.
The OKMD National Knowledge Center is still a building site on Ratchadamnoen Klang Road, but the plan is to turn one of Bangkok'’s grandest historic avenues into a creative learning district people actually use. Rather than wait behind the scaffolding, OKMD wants your handwriting first.
‘Letter for Later’ asks you to write two letters. The first, ‘To My Future Self’, stays sealed and private. Nobody reads or archives it, and in three years it comes back to you – by post, or by email if you submit online. Whatever you are wrestling with now, your 2029 self gets to open it and judge you gently. The second, ‘To the People of the Future’, becomes part of a public exhibition when the Center opens in 2029 (B.E. 2572), joining its knowledge collection as a record of what ordinary people were thinking in 2026.
Taking part is free. Write your letters, tuck them into envelopes, decorate them as scruffily or beautifully as you like, seal them and drop them at one of five Letter Stations: TK Park on the eight floor of centralwOrld; Taiban in Hua Lamphong; Rimkhobfabooks Bookstore in Bang Phlat; Midsummer Cafe & Roastery on Song Wat; or A BOOK with NO NAME in Samsen. Each one is worth a wander anyway. Bring a pen – you probably will not have one. Can't make it across town? Submit online at theletter.okmd.or.th by September 20, 2026
Three years is nothing and everything. Your handwriting stays the same. Almost nothing else does.
