A VENUE FOR ANY EVENT

Thailand already has a deserved reputation for its
range of convention and exhibition centres which rank
with the best in the world for facilities and experience
to be able to host MICE events, but there are also
other quite unique and equally impressive locations for
staging functions too.

1. The Aksra Theatre

Located in Bangkok which is close to Phaya Thai and
Victory Monument BTS stations is an elegant setting
and is a medium-sized theatre of 600 seats. It is fully
equipped with the latest technology and is an ideal
venue for seminars and meetings.

2. Asiatique

The Waterfront district is the main feature at
Asiatique, The Riverfront, which is a burgeoning
development of Bangkok’s riverside from what was
traditionally a trade centre to one with more of a
tourist focus. There are numerous international
fine dining outlets and the city’s longest boardwalk
(300m) is filled with other eateries and importantly for
MICE functions, a number of event venues.

3. The Bangkok Art and Culture Center
(BACC)

A mid-town facility for contemporary arts. The
attraction for MICE events is there is space available
for networking with others in a different environment.
There are also a number of cafes, restaurants, books
shops and an art library at the facility.

4. Chakrabongse Villas

Another option is the Chakrabongse Villas based
on the bank of the Chao Phraya River in the heart
of old Bangkok. Over 100 years old, they have been
transformed into a stunning boutique hotel which
has all the modern facilities. The potential for a MICE
event is the spacious terrace which has a capacity
for up to 200 people and has some of the best views
in the city.
