SookSiam: This amazing town is Thailand’s first co-creation space for local communities from the 77 provinces of Thailand to join together their creative capabilities and build a business platform and cultural space. A strong network was created by small business operators from local communities nationwide, local enterprises, artists from all regions and government agencies who are working together to create a town to showcase popular products and cultures that are the pride of individual provinces. SookSiam serves as a platform for local products to be further developed with merchandising and marketing ideas to help them penetrate international markets.

True Icon Hall: The state-of-the art and technologically most advanced auditorium in Thailand will have a far-reaching impact on businesses along the Chao Phraya River and will benefit Thailand’s Meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) industry. The venue will be the first such facility in Thailand with world-class connectivity standards capable of hosting conferences requiring the most sophisticated equipment, concerts, and international MICE events. It will help push Bangkok as a hub for international conferences. True ICON Hall is scheduled to open in 2019.

It gives Thailand’s art community a platform to find international fame.

Gold Line Monorail: The monorail system will support urban development with road-rail-river transport connections to elevate the public’s quality of life. It is the first time in Thailand that a private sector mega-project developer has supported the building of a public mass transit system to mitigate potential traffic issues in the way that many other countries require of mega projects. ICONSIAM is also building 4 massive piers inside the project to provide complete road-rail-river connectivity and increase travel options for people living along the Chao Phraya River. Gold Line Monorail is scheduled to operate in late 2019.
