Following the earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) has reassured the global tourism and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) community that Thailand remains safe and fully operational for international business events.
TCEB thanked industry stakeholders worldwide for their concern and support. The Bureau has been in close contact with both public and private sector partners to closely monitor the situation and provide timely updates on safety protocols and infrastructure status.
On March 31, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) announced the closure of the Earthquake Incident Command Center, declaring that the situation had returned to normal. Although tremors were felt in parts of Bangkok, especially in high-rise buildings, there have been no reports of significant damage to the city’s tourism or MICE infrastructure.
To address safety concerns, Thai authorities, in cooperation with the private sector, conducted third-party inspections of affected buildings. The BMA confirmed that most residential and commercial structures were deemed safe, with no risks to the public or operations.
TCEB reassured that Bangkok’s event venues, hotels, and related infrastructure remain fully operational. Business events in the city have continued without disruption since March 29. Notably, the Thailand MICE X-Change (TMX) 2025, organized by the Thai Exhibition Association with TCEB’s support, is set to take place as scheduled on April 2-3 at Paragon Hall in central Bangkok.
Public transportation, including the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway, is running as usual, ensuring smooth access to major convention and exhibition venues. Airports, intercity train services, hotels, shopping malls, and other tourism-related facilities have all resumed normal operations.
TCEB stressed that Thailand is committed to maintaining the highest safety standards and continues to be a reliable and resilient destination for business events in the region.
