Thailand’s public and private sectors are busy preparing for an inspection by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) from July 25 to 29 which will assess the feasibility and viability of Phuket province as a candidate to host the Specialised Expo 2027/2028.

Team Thailand led by Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul gave the first Country Presentation during the 170th General Assembly of BIE in Paris last month, and since their return, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), Phuket Province, the Ministry of Public Health, representatives from the public and private sectors concerned as well as civil society have united to prepare for the BIE’s technical visit. All share a common goal of winning the bid. Thailand is competing for the honor against four other global destinations, namely the United States (Minnesota), Serbia (Belgrade), Spain (Malaga), and Argentina (Bariloche),

Pattanachai Singhavara, director of TCEB for the Southern Region, said that Team Thailand felt confident that the variety of outstanding aspects presented to the BIE and the effective introduction to Phuket had helped its candidature gain recognition.
