QSNCC and BMA Present 'Krungthep Dee Tor Jai,' Embracing 2024 with Local Tourism Initiatives and a Focus on Sustainable Quality of Life

"Krungthep Dee Tor Jai” is being organized for the second consecutive year to expand the partnership network between the public and private sectors. The festival aims to promote a sustainable quality of life for urban dwellers while boosting tourism in Bangkok. It caters to the diverse needs of people of all ages and genders, supporting a lifestyle that connects the elements of 'city-garden-forest-water' with 'youth, communities, and the people of Bangkok.' The festival encourages them to spend more time in public spaces, such as the 'Benjakitti Park' and ‘Lumpini Park’.

Surapol Utintu, Chief Executive Officer of N.C.C. Management & Development Co., Ltd., the operator of QSNCC, stated, "Krungthep Dee Tor Jai is a collaborative effort involving various sectors to present the 'First Happiness' to Bangkokians, encouraging them to enjoy life and participate in various activities in public spaces. Organized for the second consecutive year due to a positive response from participants in the previous year, this edition features even more exciting activities aimed at promoting physical and mental well-being, fostering sustainable living for city dwellers. This initiative aligns with QSNCC’s goal to transcend being a mere 'venue' and become a connecting space to public areas like 'Benjakitti Park,' promoting active lifestyles for individuals and communities.”
