Meetings in Thailand

Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau

As one of the world's leading travel and leisure destinations, Thailand has extensive experience catering to the needs of world travellers. The service provided is unquestionably world-class.

Thailand's event service providers are highly proficient in the art of 'East Meets West' meetings. They demonstrate the highest international standards of professionalism, efficiency and unbridled creativity. However, this expertise is delivered with a distinctly Thai touch.

The incorporation of graceful Thai traditions lends exotic warmth to conventions held in Thailand. This hands-on approach coupled with extraordinary social programmes delights participants and sets a high benchmark for events held in other countries.

Situated in the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, Thailand serves as a gateway to the emerging economies of the Greater Mekong Subregion. With its well-developed infrastructure, political and social stability, and consistent openness to foreign investment, it has been a magnet for overseas companies looking for a strategic location to set up or expand business.

Thailand is now home to six world-class convention and exhibition centres and has established an impressive track record in hosting large-scale international conventions and world-class events. Befitting its regional prominence, a large number of international organizations involved in economic and social development and a broad range of professional associations with regional and global affiliation are based in Thailand. All are potential hosts for international congresses.

Thailand has been home since the 1960s to the regional offices of the entire United Nations system. Major groupings like the UN Environment Programme, the World Health Organization, International Civil Aviation Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization, International Postal Union and many more UN and UN-affiliated bodies are based in Bangkok.
The UN is one of the most frequent and demanding organizers of meetings and conventions in the world. Its requirements for professional management of translation facilities, transportation systems and a range of support services are unmatched. All of these are provided by Thais and/or the large number of professional expatriates resident in Thailand.

Every year, hundreds of ministers, diplomats, government officials, non-government organizations and media visit Thailand to participate in the UN meetings. They all return home safe and sound, more than impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the events they have attended.
