One of the nation's most prestigious meeting centers has unveiled an all-new look.
The all-new Queen Sirikit National Convention Center is now five times bigger and boasts a sprawling exhibition and retail space of 300,000 square meters (equivalent to 50 football fields) that can cater to up to 100,000 visitors a day. There are two massive interconnected exhibition halls, two seminar halls and around 50 meeting rooms.
The venue’s design draws inspiration from Thai textile and architectural arts—chedis, stupas and temples—as well as Thai Queen Sirikit's wardrobe. The gigantic windows also open up to views of the recently-expanded Benchakitti Forest Park.
It is home to Thailand’s first Red Lobster restaurant.
