(BANGKOK, THAILAND) -- Creative Kingdom Inc. of Los Angeles, the creator of Dubai's Palm and World Islands and other global exotic-themed developments, now plans to put Thailand on the international destination map.

The company unveiled plans today for Chiang Mai Wood (CNX-Wood), a 175-acre mixed-use movie studio and residential development in Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand.

Once completed, the multi-million-dollar-plus sprawling complex will house the state-of-the-art CNX Movie World Studios, as well as an integrated network of self-sufficient residential neighborhoods, a wide variety of entertainment offerings, cultural venues, museums and world-class restaurants.

The development will offer multiple residential neighborhoods, including villa and luxury housing, that will be connected to the film facilities via an integrated network of bike and walking paths.

Each neighborhood will be fully independent, with its own infrastructure, stores, libraries, schools, medical facilities, water/electrical services, shopping, parks, entertainment and cultural venues.

In addition, a wide variety of entertainment offerings will be spread out over nine specially-themed areas in the complex. Movie theaters, a water park, theme parks, beach club, a man-made lagoon and a Japanese-themed amusement center are just some of the diverse features residents and visitors alike will discover.

For businesses, the complex will offer new corporate office buildings for international headquarters or regional bureaus. It will also be fully equipped to host corporate gatherings, conferences, events, product launches and other important functions.

"CNX-Wood is sure to become one of the most advanced mixed-use destinations in the world, and we are extremely excited by its potential," says Eduardo Robles, chief executive officer, Creative Kingdom, Inc.

"The new CNX Movie World Studios will serve as the hub for Asia's booming film industry and become one of the premier destinations for the world's movie makers.

"In addition, the integrated nature of the facilities will be unrivaled in providing its residents, from those looking for a vacation or second home to those seeking an unmatched luxury lifestyle, with the perfect mix of entertainment, culture and life balance."

The CNX Movie World Studios will feature a series of state-of-the-art film production studios, animation facilities and special effects laboratories.

Robles says the facilities will provide film makers with the most advanced tools and technologies for developing and producing top quality domestic and international movies.

The CNX-Wood development will be completed over five stages, beginning with the film studios.

Robles says Creative Kingdom, Inc. (CKI) is the world's leading creator of themed design architecture and destinations.

In addition to its architecture and master planning expertise, the multi-faceted company conducts cutting edge work with CGI 3-D architectural video animation, 2-D/3-D cartoon animation, and video, film and music production.

Creative Kingdom's global headquarters are based in Los Angeles, with offices on Dubai, UAE; Beijing, China; Chiang Mai, Thailand; and Pasig City, Philippines.
