New Zealand’s Skyline Enterprises Explores Further Investment in Thailand

The Thai Board of Investment (BOI) has announced discussions with New Zealand-based Skyline Enterprises regarding the expansion of their amusement park operations in Thailand.

On August 20, 2026, the Prime Minister of Thailand met with Mr. Geoff McDonald, CEO of Skyline Enterprises, during an official visit to Auckland, New Zealand. According to the Thai Board of Investment (BOI), the discussion focused on the company's ongoing investment plans, which include an approved amusement park project in Bangkok.

During the meeting, the Thai government encouraged Skyline Enterprises to consider further expansion within the country, highlighting Thailand’s status as a global tourism hub with diverse landscapes ranging from coastal areas to mountainous regions. The government also expressed its readiness to support the company in exploring the feasibility of establishing a Research and Development (R&D) center in Thailand. Such a facility would focus on engineering new components for amusement rides, with a primary emphasis on user safety.

Skyline Enterprises, founded in 1966, is a prominent New Zealand tourism firm specializing in the design and management of attractions. For travelers and residents, this development suggests a potential increase in high-quality recreational activities and modern entertainment infrastructure in the future. While the Bangkok project has received investment promotion approval, specific timelines for the potential R&D center or additional expansion projects remain to be confirmed as the company evaluates these opportunities.
