Additionally, ICONSIAM has been recognised for its major contribution to tourism as a new and powerful tourism magnet and global destination by the Chao Phraya River, attracting visitors from around the world and Thailand.”
With considerable investment and global marketing efforts, ICONSIAM has become a must-visit destination and has proven to be a project that contributes to the growth of the Thai economy.
