Home/ Business & MICE/ TCEB Partnership

What is
TCEB?

The Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau is Thailand's state-supported MICE authority — established to position Thailand as the world's premier MICE destination. TCEB provides financial support, visa acceleration, and strategic promotion to international event organizers.

TCEB doesn't run events itself; it enables private-sector partners like PEACH, RD Global Connect, and Pattaya's hotel associations to execute world-class MICE experiences. Through TCEB's mandate, Pattaya gains access to subsidies, international marketing, and official recognition.
