Following
Thailand’s commitment to host the 46th Annual
Meeting of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank
Group and the International Monetary Fund in
Bangkok, the Royal Thai Government made the
momentous decision to construct a national
convention center of high international standards
suitable to host this prestigious event.
A leading Thai architectural firm was appointed to
design a structure with a strong Thai influence and
to coordinate all construction work. A “build and
design” technique was employed to ensure the center
would be completed on schedule, and work began at
the end of 1989.
Once ground preparation and piling was completed on
the 20-acre site adjoining the Thailand Tobacco
Monopoly, HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn
graciously laid the foundation stone on 27 July
1990.
Work then began in earnest, with some 100 designers
and more than 1,000 construction workers on
around-the-clock shifts, determined to meet the
August 1991 deadline. They succeeded. The main
construction was completed at the end of June 1991
in 16 months and under budget, an unprecedented
achievement given that a project of this magnitude
would normally require 40 months to complete. The
final decorative elements were in place by early
August.
The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center was
officially opened by Their Majesties King Bhumibol
Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit on 29 August 1991. The
Center is named after Queen Sirikit in honor of Her
Majesty’s 60th birthday, which fell on August 1992
and marked the completion of an auspicious fifth
twelve-year cycle.
Thailand’s first purpose-built convention center
opened its doors for its inaugural event from 1-15
October 1991, when 10,000 of the world’s most
influential bankers and financiers from 154
countries attended the 46th World Bank/International
Monetary Fund’s Annual Meetings. It was a momentous
success and heralded QSNCC’s important role in
spurring the tremendous growth in meetings,
conventions and exhibitions held in Thailand.
Over the past two decades, QSNCC has hosted numerous
prestigious gatherings on national, regional and
global levels, earning a world-wide reputation as a
well-run and well managed national convention
center.
QSNCC is administered by the Thai Ministry of
Finance’s Treasury Department and remains a public
asset. However, it is under private sector
management by N.C.C. Management & Development Co.,
Ltd
