Thai Cabinet Approves Relocation of 2029 World Horticultural Expo

According to a report by Thai Post on September 1, 2026, the Thai Cabinet has approved a change in the location for the 2029 World Horticultural Expo. The event, originally planned for Khong District, will now be hosted in Pak Chong District.

This decision maintains the previously allocated budget of 4.281 billion baht. The Cabinet has directed relevant authorities to expedite the creation of a master plan for the event. Furthermore, officials are tasked with developing a comprehensive management strategy to ensure the site remains functional and provides long-term value after the conclusion of the expo.

For residents and travelers, this relocation shifts the focus of the event to the Pak Chong area, a region known for its proximity to Khao Yai National Park. This change may influence future tourism infrastructure and regional development plans in the area. While the location has been confirmed, specific details regarding the new site layout, construction timelines, and the finalized master plan remain to be confirmed by the organizing committee. Stakeholders are advised to monitor official government announcements for updates on how this venue change might affect local accessibility and event-related tourism.
