Impact has been chosen by Thailand Post to manage the recently restored Grand Postal Building, an iconic historical landmark on Charoen Krung Road in the Bangrak district of Bangkok. Officially opened on 4 August 2013 by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the Grand Postal Building is now not only a centre for post and telecommunication services, but also serves as the perfect and unique venue for events. Paul Kanjanapas, Managing Director of Impact Exhibition Management Co. Ltd., said: “We are proud that Impact has been honoured and is trusted to manage the Grand Postal Building. The historic building will serve as a unique venue for hosting conferences, meetings, seminars, exhibitions, events, parties and even weddings, car launches and charity events, all managed by our expert team. Our investment will be more than 100 million baht over the next few years... we expect to earn over 100 million baht from managing the Grand Postal Building during the first year of operation.” Grand Postal Building provides over 3,000 square meters of total floor space for meetings, exhibitions and events over two levels.
