BITEC to expand?

Nice piece in today's Bangkok Post quoting my good friend Sarnit Karunyavanij, the business development director of BITEC, the second largest exhibition centre in Bangkok. In the real estate business, location is, of course, said to be "everything" and BITEC finds itself on the expressway linking the city centre to Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi Airport.

So, it is no big surprise to find Khun Sarnit saying that expansion plans are in hand to boost the venue's size to between 70 and 100,000 square metres. He is quoted as saying "What we are waiting for is just an opportune time and stable politics, probably simultaneously with the construction of the skytrain extension from Onnuj to Samrong, or after the completion of the skytrain extension".
