This is a Tournament with Royal Prestige. The Bangkok International Championship is Thailand’s flagship Scrabble event, historically supported by the Thai monarchy. The winner of the top division traditionally receives a royal trophy, a symbol of honor and excellence in the Scrabble world.


First launched decades ago as the Brand’s Crossword Game King’s Cup, the event has grown into an international mind-sport spectacle and a platform for language learning and youth development.


This year’s edition features top international players, including several past world champions and rising talents from Asia, Africa, and Europe. With WESPA rating points at stake, every game counts. Guess who is playing too? The great Thacha!
