★★Worth it·Convention center
QSNCC
ศูนย์การประชุมแห่งชาติสิริกิติ์
The national convention center, rebuilt and much enlarged over its own MRT stop — book fairs, art weeks and expos with Benjakitti as the front lawn.
Rebuilt with five times its old space (Frasers Property) and reopened in 2022, in time for APEC, it's now the venue for everything from the big book fair to the expos. Check what's on before you're in the Benjakitti area.
