Queen Sirikit National Convention Center to Close Temporarily for IMF-World Bank Meetings
The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok will suspend general operations from October 11 to 18, 2026, to host international financial summits.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok has announced a temporary suspension of general services. The facility will be closed to the public and regular visitors from October 11 through October 18, 2026.
This closure is necessary to accommodate the hosting of the upcoming IMF-World Bank meetings. These high-level international financial summits require significant security and logistical preparations, necessitating the exclusive use of the venue during this period.
For residents and travelers, this means that any planned visits, exhibitions, or events scheduled at the QSNCC during these dates will be affected. Those with existing appointments or event bookings at the center are advised to contact the venue management or their respective event organizers to confirm rescheduling or alternative arrangements.
While the center has confirmed the closure dates, specific details regarding the exact scope of the IMF-World Bank meetings and any potential traffic disruptions in the surrounding Khlong Toei area remain to be confirmed. Visitors are encouraged to monitor official announcements from the QSNCC and local authorities for further updates regarding the resumption of normal operations after October 18.
