Bangkok Land has built a Bt600-million luxury ballroom in Versailles Palace-style as a new selling point for its Impact conference complex, CEO Anant Kanjanapas said yesterday.
The ballroom is part of the company's plan to focus on the exhibition halls at the Impact complex at Muang Thong Thani, making the complex the main revenue earner for the company.Earlier, Bangkok Land invested Bt6 billion to expand the space in the Challenger building at the Muang Thong complex by 60,000 square metres. The new ballroom, designed in the style of the one in France's Versailles Palace, will be called the Royal Jubilee Ballroom. Its opening will celebrate the 60th anniversary of His Majesty the King's accession to the throne. The Royal Jubilee Ballroom is 3,500 square metres in area, with a capacity for 3,500 people or 250 diners. Paul Kanjanapas, executive of Impact Exhibition Management, is negotiating with organisers in several countries about holding events at the ballroom.
