Thailand is a mosaic of extraordinary experiences: cosmopolitan cities, historical sites, island getaways, mountain retreats and so much more. With excellent connectivity, Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin and Phuket have been welcoming international groups for years, and give visitors ample reasons to return. Fast developing into the next generation of MICE destinations are Hat Yai, Kao Yai, Kanchanaburi, Krabi and Samui, whose natural beauty and unique appeal add depth to Thailand’s multi-faceted allure.

Thailand’s infrastructure for MICE is ready for the world, promising unprecedented accessibility, convenience and comfort — and supported by a workforce famous for its professionalism and natural hospitality. Bangkok has five world-class, multi-purpose convention centres with easy access to transport, hotels, business services and leisure activities. Beyond Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya have also developed from strength to strength, offering excellent meeting venues, hotels and support services amid their attractive mountain and beach settings.

Thailand’s vibrant, export-led economy has created a favourable climate for international business. In ASEAN, Thailand has emerged as a leading consumer market as well as an investment hub. Its cost-effectiveness, skilled workforce and dynamic manufacturing sector are expected to generate countless business opportunities as ASEAN evolves into a single market – the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) – in 2015. Thailand’s trade exhibitions are at the frontline of this evolution, generating new business opportunities throughout the region.
