Outstanding team. Highly recommended for events in Bangkok! I had an excellent experience working with Phuket Event Company for a corporate event in Bangkok. From the beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, flexible and solution-oriented.

MICE Phuket: Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions Planned Locally
MICE stands for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions. In Phuket we plan all four with a local team, from the venue to the AV and the guests' transport. A MICE planner in Phuket works with the resort, the activities and the crew as one project. Here is where each need goes:
| What you need in Phuket | What we do | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Meetings and conferences | Venue shortlist, AV, staging and show management | Meeting rooms in Phuket |
| Incentive groups | Programmes, hotels, transfers and activities | Phuket MICE packages |
| MICE hotels | A guide to conference and incentive hotels | Top MICE hotels in Phuket |
| Event venues | Beachfront, ballroom and villa venues | Event venues in Phuket |
| Exhibitions | Booths, build and logistics | Exhibitions in Thailand |
| Team building | Programmes for groups of 10 to 2,000+ | Team building Phuket |
MICE Event Planner Thailand: Organiser, Venue Booking and International Groups
As a MICE event planner in Thailand we act as your MICE organizer: we shortlist and book MICE venues, run the programme and manage the production. MICE venue booking in Thailand covers hotels, convention centres and resorts in Phuket, Bangkok and other destinations. We plan MICE events for regional and international groups, with one contract and one project manager.
For Bangkok, see MICE packages in Bangkok and MICE venues and hotels in Bangkok. A MICE planner in Bangkok also works with our Bangkok event planner and conference planner teams.
Phuket as a MICE Destination: Venues, Access and Season
Phuket is Thailand's leading island for meetings and incentives: beachfront resorts with large ballrooms, an international airport, and activities for the incentive side, from island days to team building. It also hosts international conferences. In April 2026 the Global Sustainable Tourism Conference (GSTC) took place in Phuket with delegates from more than 50 countries, and the InterPride World Conference is scheduled for 28 October to 1 November 2026 at Duangjitt Resort & Spa.
| Venue | Area | Largest space | Capacity | Drive from airport |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phuket FantaSea | Kamala | Golden Kinnaree Buffet Hall | 4,000 banquet | 40 to 55 min |
| Royal Phuket City Hotel | Phuket Town | Grand Ballroom | 2,300 theatre, 1,000 banquet | 50 to 65 min |
| Angsana Laguna Phuket | Bang Tao / Laguna | ACES convention space | 1,200 theatre, 800 banquet | 35 to 50 min |
| Duangjitt Resort & Spa | Patong | Duangchanok Ballroom | 1,200 theatre, 600 banquet | 50 to 70 min |
| Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort | Karon | Grand Ballroom (pillarless) | 1,200 reception | 60 to 85 min |
| Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket | Karon | Phuket Grand Ballroom | 700 theatre, 400 banquet | 55 to 80 min |
The season matters. November to April is the dry, high season, when ballrooms and room blocks fill first, so start the venue search early. May to October is the green season: showers are common in the afternoon, so we plan indoor sessions in the afternoon and outdoor activities in the morning. For the full capacity comparison see our top 10 MICE hotels in Phuket guide, Phuket event venues and meeting rooms in Phuket. For ready made hotel offers see our Phuket MICE hotel packages.
A MICE planner in Phuket also handles what delegates never see: beach and outdoor permits, fireworks licensing, boat and coach logistics, and a local crew. Our Phuket office is in Laguna, and the same team runs team building in Phuket and the event planner Phuket programmes.
Bangkok as a MICE Destination
Bangkok has Thailand's biggest convention space, the widest choice of five star ballrooms and the strongest air links, which is why most large conferences, exhibitions and regional meetings start here. Hotels cluster around Ratchaprasong, Riverside and Ploenchit, all on the BTS or by hotel boat.
| Venue | Area | Largest space | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centara Grand at CentralWorld | Ratchaprasong | Bangkok Convention Centre | Up to 7,000 |
| Shangri-La Bangkok | Riverside | Grand Ballroom | 1,000+ banquet, 1,500 reception |
| Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok | Ratchaprasong | Grand Ballroom | 700 banquet, 1,500 reception |
| Conrad Bangkok | Ploenchit / Wireless Road | Grand Ballroom | 800 reception |
We have run regional conferences for L’Oréal and AstraZeneca, an ISO standards meeting with simultaneous translation and secure voting and a trade show stand at BITEC. See the 50 MICE hotels in Bangkok guide, the Bangkok event venues guide and our Bangkok MICE hotel packages.
MICE Planner, Conference Organizer or DMC: Which Do You Need?
The terms overlap, so here is the difference. A MICE planner runs the whole programme across all four MICE formats. A conference organizer focuses on delegates and sessions, and a DMC handles destination services for a foreign group. We offer all three under one team and one contract.

|---|---|---|
| A full MICE programme: meetings, incentive, conference, exhibition | MICE planner | This page |
| A conference with registration, speakers and delegates | Conference organizer (PCO) | Conference organizer Thailand |

| A reward trip for top performers | Incentive travel planner | Incentive travel planner |
| A booth at a trade show | Exhibition stand contractor | Exhibition booth and stand services |

Government Support for International MICE Groups in Thailand
Thailand's national MICE promotion agency, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), works with the Tourism Authority of Thailand on programmes for international business events. The current TAT and TCEB "Thailand Power Up" campaign, which runs from October 2025 to July 2026, offers financial grants and nonfinancial services to qualifying premium groups. Eligibility depends on factors such as group size, origin and length of stay, and the terms change from season to season.
We check the current conditions for your programme, prepare the application with the venue and the dates, and build the support into the plan. Find the agency's own information at Business Events Thailand.

MICE Planner Thailand FAQ
What is a MICE planner?
A MICE planner organises meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions: choosing venues, planning the programme, managing suppliers and running the event on site.
What does a MICE event planner in Thailand do?
We shortlist and book venues and hotels, design the agenda and activities, arrange transport, produce the stage, AV and lighting, and manage the event with one team and one contract.
Do you plan MICE events in Phuket?
Yes. See our Phuket MICE packages, the top MICE hotels in Phuket and meeting rooms in Phuket.
Do you plan MICE events in Bangkok?
Yes. See MICE packages in Bangkok and MICE venues and hotels in Bangkok.
Can you book MICE venues in Thailand for us?
Yes. We shortlist venues against your dates, group size and budget, arrange site visits and manage the booking and the venue relationship.
Can you handle a MICE programme for an international group?
Yes. We plan regional and international groups end to end: venues, transfers, activities, production and on site management, with one point of contact.
How far ahead should we plan a MICE event in Thailand?
As soon as the dates and the group size are known. Large groups and peak season need the most lead time for hotels and venues.
How much does MICE planning cost?
It depends on the group size, the venues, the programme, the production and the dates. Send your brief and we reply with an itemised proposal.
What does MICE stand for?
MICE stands for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions. It is the business events industry: group travel and events organised for work rather than leisure. Read our guide to what MICE is.
Is Thailand a good destination for MICE events?
Yes. Thailand combines large venues, five star hotels, strong air links and a destination experience that keeps delegates engaged. Bangkok has the biggest convention space and Phuket the beachfront resorts, and Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Hua Hin, Khao Lak and Koh Samui suit smaller or leisure led groups.
Does the Thai government support MICE groups?
Thailand's TCEB, working with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, runs support programmes for qualifying international business events, including financial grants and nonfinancial services. Terms change by season and depend on group size and length of stay, so we check the current conditions for your programme.
Is Phuket or Bangkok better for a MICE event?
Bangkok suits large conferences, exhibitions and regional meetings. Phuket suits incentives and meetings with a leisure side. Many programmes use both: a conference in Bangkok followed by an incentive in Phuket. See our Bangkok and Phuket planners.
What is the difference between a MICE planner and a conference organizer?
A MICE planner runs the whole programme across meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions. A conference organizer focuses on one conference: registration, programme, venue and delegates. We do both. See our conference organizer page.
