In its over 30 years as the nation’s largest and most holistic convention centre, the original QSNCC hosted over 20,000 domestic and international events and enjoyed wide acclaim for its all-inclusive facilities.
Still set in the same location in Bangkok’s new central business district, the new QSNCC is enhanced with a 5X increase in floor space to 300,000 square metres. The facility is equipped with exquisite facilities and provides unparalleled services for hosting a myriad of events, from MICE to concerts, e-sports, gaming, and art & craft gatherings.
The greater floor space can host multiple events simultaneously. The unparalleled popularity reflects its strategic location with convenient access to Rama IV Rd., Sukhumvit Rd., Ratchadaphisek Rd., and Duang Pitak Rd., and adjacent connection to MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.

As such, QSNCC has been selected as a suitably prestigious venue to host APEC 2022 and welcome delegates from all the 21 economic zones to Thailand.
QSNCC is established with the highest standard security system widely adopted worldwide, including Life Safety system, prioritising evacuation in emergency events such as fires and power failures. Visitors

Acclaimed as a versatile functional convention centre, QSNCC is wired with Thailand’s high-speed infrastructure system supporting 5G. This ensures that online and hybrid events can proceed at maximum capacity, enabling unlimited convenience for event organisers and their guests.
Touchless Access and Intelligence Event Platform Management System solutions enhance services in the area so they run smoothly and effectively with the highest safety.
