CHIANG MAI, Thailand, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The northern Thai capital of Chiang Mai enhances its performances as a MICE destination when the city wins trust to host 6 international conferences in 2025 and makes another stride in securing at least 1 international conference for 2026.
While Bangkok is mostly selected to stage international conferences, a sign of the diversification of host destination is now emerging. This year, Chiang Mai, a MICE City and economic center in northern Thailand, is a prime example when it is chosen to host 6 international conferences of various fields – engineering, medicine, environmental science and social science.
Each conference will take place in different venues, showing rich choices of properties in Chiang Mai. From Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre to convention halls of five-star hotels.
Mr. Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, President of Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) stated: “We are proud that Chiang Mai, one of Thailand’s MICE Cities in the destination competitiveness plan of TCEB, has earned international confidence. The totally different venues chosen to host each conference speak volume of how organisers can maximise the capacity of Chiang Mai. What’s special is that while it offers comfort and convenience of modern-day city life, Chiang Mai features the setting of unique “Lanna” culture, beautiful ecological attractions and wealth of activities contributing to local communities. The city, thus, can ensure memorable and meaningful experiences of international delegates.”
The 6 international conferences which are expected to bring in 3,600 delegates are:
- The 25th Asia-Australia Conference of Radiological Technologist (AACRT 2025) during 5-7 June at Chiangmai Grandview Hotel & Convention Center
