Thailand Science Park

Thailand Science Park is located in the town of Tha Khlong, Khlong Luang district, Pathum Thani province, near the city of Rangsit, north of Bangkok. Managed by the National Science and Technology Development Agency, under the Ministry of Science and Technology, it is the country's largest science and technology research park on the land granted by Thammasat University. Access to the park is convenient, as it is linked to downtown Bangkok by two superhighways and a number of city bus routes.

Environment

Beautifully landscaped, Thailand Science Park has modern facilities to enable technology development and innovation creation. Located in the Park are the main NSTDA office building and the four national research centers - National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, National Metal and Materials Technology Center, National Nanotechnology Center, and National Electronics and Computer Technology Center - each with its own individual building. The Park also contains a convention center, an incubation center, pilot plants, and private-sector R&D laboratories. Other facilities include a library, an infirmary, a bank, a savings cooperative, a residence hall, a nursery (day care center), a grocery store, two food courts, an upscale cafe with Western flair, and a number of coffee shops, eateries, and even beauty parlors. Future expansion includes a plan to build a sports club, a science camp, and more industrial R&D labs.

The Park is ideally situated next to Asian Institute of Technology, Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, and Thammasat University, providing access to a continual supply of graduates of high calibre. Also located at the Park will be the Technology Information Access Center, a provider of on-line information services, including access to relevant databases.
