Tongkam Key Sponsor for Pattaya's Next Major Event Oceanfront Card Con 2026

Pattaya, Thailand – June 29, 2026 — Pattaya’s fast-growing trading card game (TCG) and sports memorabilia scene is preparing for its next massive wave. Organizers have officially announced Oceanfront Card Con 2026, scheduled for September 5, 2026, at the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel Pattaya. Far from being a random experiment, the event represents a massive scale-up for Chon Buri's hobbyists, built entirely on the foundation laid earlier this year by local titan Tongkam Marketplace.

On May 9th, Tongkam Marketplace single-handedly put the coastal city on the hobby map by hosting the original Tongkam Card Show. Held at the elite Siam Country Club Plantation, that historic debut drew crowds of sports card and TCG enthusiasts away from the typical Bangkok convention corridors and established a highly successful blueprint for premium regional shows.Now, with the scene rapidly expanding, Tongkam is stepping up once again—this time as a vital sponsor and foundational partner for the massive oceanfront expansion at the Royal Cliff.


Moving From the Greens to the BeachfrontThe upcoming convention moves from the rolling hills of the golf resort down to a prime seaside venue, utilizing the expansive Royal Summit Hall B from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The strategic evolution to a larger coastal venue highlights the explosive growth of alternative investment assets—such as rare Pokémon, One Piece, and sports trading cards—across Eastern Thailand. With Tongkam Marketplace anchoring the trading floor ecosystem, attendees can look forward to:


The Trading Pavilion


Hundreds of square meters for regional vendors. On-Site Grading Services: Dedicated space for elite global card curation and submittals, including Beckett Grading Services (BGS).


Community Trade Zones


Purpose-built tables encouraging direct, organic collector-to-collector trades outside commercial booths.Tickets and Marketplace BookingsPublic tickets and corporate vendor slots are already moving rapidly via Ticketmelon. Given that Tongkam's original May show saw its vendor booths completely sell out weeks in advance, demand for the September beachfront follow-up is expected to be incredibly high.
