This year CPN is organizing THAILAND COUNTDOWN under the theme Monkey in Electric Jungle, which is the core event out of all activities being held at eight CPN venues across the nation, led by AIS Bangkok Countdown 2016 at CentralWorld. We would like to invite everyone to join us; there will be marvelous special effects and fantastic music that will get you jumping up and down to the beat, ushering in 2016.”
“In addition, we bring the first-time-ever Thai Fight Countdown right in the heart of Rachaprasong intersection to promote Thailand’s Culture and Sport through the tourists’eyes and we have invested in turning the façade of CentralWorld into a large state-of-the-art LED screen; it is 1,400 square meters in size, which is an equivalent of eight volleyball courts. On top of showing advanced motion graphics from celebrated artists, the screen can also be programmed to show texts of beautiful wishes, like a giant greeting card for passers by to see. Furthermore, CentralWorld is prepared to ramp up its security during the event and has prepped its parking services, restrooms, elevators for guests. We encourage our guests to come via the SkyTrain or other mass transit means as they would be more convenient.”
