IMPACT Muang Thong Thani Fairs 2024: All 26 Events by Month

Overview of Fairs at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani in 2024

2024 was another year in which the exhibition space at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani was booked almost without a break. This article compiles 26 fairs and trade shows, arranged by month, from a furniture show in mid-January to a lakeside festival in late December. The goal is to give anyone planning a visit next year a sense of which time of year each type of event tends to fall in, and which hall it mainly uses.

What stands out clearly from this year's calendar is that events are heavily concentrated between October and December. November alone had 11 new events open. Meanwhile, in the middle of the year, from May to September, this dataset shows only 2 major events: OTOP Midyear 2024 and OTOP Silpacheep Prathip Thai (Uniting Hearts through Royal Grace). Anyone who dislikes crowds will find the first half of the year noticeably easier to navigate. For anyone wanting to fit several events into a single trip, late November to early December is the most worthwhile stretch of the year to travel, since on some days 4 to 5 events are running at once in Muang Thong Thani.

Summary Table of IMPACT Muang Thong Thani Fairs 2024

By Category

Home, Furniture, and Decor

This is the most frequently held category at IMPACT, spread across both the start and end of the year. The year opens with FURNITURE MEGA SHOW 2024 from January 13 to 21 at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 9-11, followed by Home Expo from February 17 to 25 at Hall 9-10. In the second half of the year it returns with Furniture Expo (Fair for Home Lovers) from October 5 to 13, again at Hall 9-10.

The largest event in this category is Baan Lae Suan Fair: Living Festival 2024, from October 25 to November 3, which occupies all three IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3 halls, the same scale as the Motor Show, so plan for at least half a day to walk through it. For those interested in architecture and building materials, there is Architect'24 from April 30 to May 5 at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3, and for appliances there is the 2024 Thailand International Electrical Appliances Expo from October 25 to 27 at Hall 8.

Automobiles and Car Enthusiasts

The car calendar at IMPACT is clearly split into two poles. Early in the year belongs to the 45th Bangkok International Motor Show 2024, from March 27 to April 7, which takes up IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3 plus IMPACT Forum Hall 4. Late in the year belongs to The 41st Thailand International Motor Expo 2024, from November 29 to December 10, at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3. Both events run for 10 to 12 days and often overlap with long holiday weekends, so Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays are much more crowded than weekdays.

For those specifically interested in car modification, there is IAM Bangkok 2024 Don't Miss (Thailand Car Modification Meetup) on December 7 and 8 at IMPACT Forum Hall 4, a short 2-day event organized by the same organizer as the Motor Expo. It falls exactly while the Motor Expo is still running, so both can be visited in a single trip.

Food and Beverage

On the food business side there is Makro HORECA: Thailand Food Business Expo, 17th edition, from October 31 to November 3 at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 6-8, suited to restaurant, hotel, and catering operators. For general dining there is IMPACT X Shell Shuan Shim 2nd Edition, from November 29 to December 8, held on the plaza in front of IMPACT Arena, an outdoor event that is comfortable to walk through in the evening, and The Cellar Tales, from November 29 to December 10, at Bistro de Champage inside IMPACT Challenger, which overlaps exactly with the Motor Expo.

OTOP, Handicrafts, and Community Products

The OTOP category is spread most evenly across the year and helps fill the mid-year period when other events are sparse. In 2024 there were 4 main events: OTOP Midyear 2024, June 8 to 16; OTOP Silpacheep Prathip Thai (Uniting Hearts through Royal Grace), August 10 to 18; SILK FESTIVAL 2024: Towards Sustainable Development, November 30 to December 2 at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 6-7; and OTOP City 2024 closing out the year, December 14 to 22. The first three and the last event mainly use IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3, except SILK FESTIVAL, which moved to the Exhibition Hall side.

B2B Business and Technology

Business-oriented events in 2024 were concentrated almost entirely in November. It starts with a group of 3 printing and packaging events held simultaneously, Bangkok Ad & Sign Expo 2024, Bangkok Digital Textile Print 2024, and Bangkok Pack & Label Expo 2024, from November 7 to 10 at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 6-7, followed by DigiTech ASEAN Thailand & AI Connect 2024 from November 20 to 22 at Hall 6 and Drontech Asia 2024 from November 25 to 27 at Hall 12. These events usually run for only 3 to 4 days and cater mainly to business visitors. Anyone planning to conduct trade negotiations should register in advance and come on the first day, when crowds are still thin.

Pets, Family, and Education

Pet owners can look forward to 14th SmartHeart presents Thailand International Pet Variety Exhibition, from October 3 to 6 at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 7-8, the only pet event in this year's dataset. For families with young children there is Thailand Baby & Kids Best Buy 57th, from November 7 to 10 at IMPACT Challenger Hall 3, and for space and technology knowledge there is Thailand Space Week 2024, from November 7 to 9 at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 9-10. These last two events overlap exactly, so children can be taken to both in a single day.

Sales Events and Lakeside Festivals

There are 2 year-end sales events worth noting, Sales of the year, from November 16 to 24 at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 9-10, and Thaiwatsadu x BnB home Grand Sale, from November 29 to December 8 at Hall 8. For a festival atmosphere held outside the halls, there is LOY RIM LAKE 2024, from November 15 to 17 at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani 1, in the Cham Churi Square area, timed for the Loy Krathong festival, and MU RIM LAKE 2024, from December 20 to 22, a lakeside spiritual-themed event that closes out the 2024 calendar.

Which Events Are Held Annually, and When

Looking at the edition number of each event, many have been held continuously for a long time and tend to fall in the same period every year, which can be used as a marker for planning ahead.

• Late March to early April: Bangkok International Motor Show, the 45th edition in 2024, held at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3 and IMPACT Forum Hall 4
• Late April to early May: the Architect exhibition, held in 2024 under the name Architect'24, at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3
• June: OTOP Midyear, at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3
• Early October: Thailand International Pet Variety Exhibition, the 14th edition in 2024
• Late October to early November: Baan Lae Suan Fair Living Festival, and Makro HORECA, which was in its 17th edition in 2024
• Early November: Thailand Baby & Kids Best Buy, the 57th edition in 2024. This event is held multiple times per year
• Late November to early December: Thailand International Motor Expo, the 41st edition in 2024, at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3
• Mid to late December: OTOP City, closing out the year at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1-3

In short, for cars, aim for March or late November. For home decor, aim for January, February, or October. For community products and handicrafts, aim for June, August, or December.

Accommodation for Multi-Day Visitors

Many events at IMPACT run for 9 to 12 days, and B2B events often start registration early in the morning. Staying overnight in Muang Thong Thani eliminates traffic problems during the morning and end-of-day periods entirely. Novotel Bangkok IMPACT connects to IMPACT Challenger via a covered walkway, about a 3-minute walk, and suits visitors attending events in Challenger Hall 1-3 such as the Motor Show, Motor Expo, Baan Lae Suan Fair Living Festival, or OTOP City, since you can return to your room to rest and come back down without having to step outside into sun or rain. ibis Bangkok IMPACT is about a 5-minute walk to IMPACT Arena and Thunder Dome, and suits visitors attending events on that side, including outdoor plaza events in front of IMPACT Arena such as IMPACT X Shell Shuan Shim.

Planning for Next Year's Events

A few pointers emerge from the 2024 calendar. First, avoid weekends for large events that use all three Challenger halls; visiting on a weekday afternoon is much more comfortable. Second, check whether other events overlap with your planned date, since from late November to early December many events open at the same time, making parking and incoming traffic busier than usual. Third, check carefully whether an event is on the IMPACT Exhibition Hall side or the IMPACT Challenger side, since these two sides are in different buildings and, while walkable between them, it takes a fair amount of time.

The dates of each event may shift from year to year. Before traveling, it is recommended to check the IMPACT event schedule again for the actual dates, opening hours, and halls used that year.
