Bangkok International Motor Show

(Redirected from Bangkok Motor Show)

The Bangkok International Motor Show[1] is a motor show. It is also known as the "Thailand Motor Show" among automotive enthusiasts. The show takes place annually at the Challenger 1-3, Impact, Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi Province, a northern suburb of Bangkok, Thailand. The Bangkok Motor Show was the first motor show in Thailand, and it remains the largest in the country.

The Bangkok International Motor Show is organized by the Grand Prix International Co. Ltd. It was founded by Dr. Prachin Eamlumnow in 1979. The official co-sponsors of the show are the Royal Automobile Association of Thailand, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and the Thai Auto-Parts Manufacturers Association.

Despite having the similar title and takes place at the same location with the Thailand International Motor Expo, they are not related.
