Industry : The Arts

Pakorn “Aey” Rujiravilai is what you’d call the master of Songkhla’s renaissance. Where most people saw a sleepy town, Aey saw potential and turned it into a bustling arts and culture hotspot. As the owner of a.e.y.space, the first art gallery in Songkhla’s Old Town, he's single-handedly shaking up this local scene. Known for fusing modern art with the soul of the South, Aey is the visionary heartbeat of a city on the rise. Under his influence, Songkhla has gone from a hidden town to a vibrant arts district, hosting big-name events including Made in Songkhla, Singorama and Pakk Taii Design Week. Aey has helped put the city on the creative map. His work continues to shape Songkhla into a destination where art, design, and community thrive.
