IMPACT Muang Thong Thani (Thai: อิมแพ็ค เมืองทองธานี) is a commercial complex consisting of an arena, convention centre and exhibition halls, located in Pak Kret the suburban to the north of Bangkok. Its name stands for International Multi-Purpose Arena, Conference and Trade Complex so tradename is always capitalized.
It has been considered as the 2nd largest exhibition and convention venue in Asia with an indoor floorspace of over 140,000 sqm. Its Challenger Hall is currently the world's largest column-free exhibition hall. The venue hosts over 490 events and welcomes a visitorship of over 15 millions each year.
Located in the northern suburban city of Pakkret about 40 km from Bangkok's central business district, Mueang Thong Thani (Golden City) was established by real-estate developer Bangkok Land in 1989 as a self-contained satellite city with high-rise condominiums and an intended population of around 150,000 people.
The project languished in the mid-1990s with the 1997 Asian financial crisis, but was revived in 1998 when Bangkok Land built Mueang Thong Thani Stadium as one of the three stadiums to host the 13th Asian Games. The stadium was expanded and renamed IMPACT Exhibition Centre in 1999. IMPACT Convention Center was built in 2000, while expansion of IMPACT Exhibition Centre was completed in 2003. The column-free IMPACT Challenger exhibition halls were completed in early 2006. Spanning 60,000 sq m, the IMPACT Challenger Halls are presently the world's biggest column-free exhibition halls. The venue hosted the Miss Universe 2005 on 31 May 2005 and Mister Universe 2013.
IMPACT Muang Thong Thani is the busiest entertainment venue in Bangkok for many regional and international artists over the years when they perform in Thailand, spanning a wide range of musical genres. Performances from international artists are highlighted using light blue in the table below while non-concert entertainment events are also included.
