The Center foundation stone was laid by HRH Princess Maha
Chakri Sirindhorn on July 1990.
 The
Thai government decided to construct the Queen Sirikit
National Convention Center to ensure Bangkok had a
convention and exhibition facility fully up to international
standards that would be ready in time for the 46th Annual
Meeting of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group
and the International Monetary Fund.
After Cabinet approval was given in November 1989, the
Ministry of Finance placed a leading Thai architectural firm
in charge of architecture and construction co-ordination.
A
"Design and build" technique was employ to ensure the Center
would be complete on schedule. Some 100 designers and well
over 1,000 construction workers worked full-time on the
project. Landfill work required in excess of 300 truckloads
a day for eight weeks.
After ground preparation and piling
had finally been completed on the 20-acre site, which
adjoins the compound of the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly, the QSNCC's foundation stone was laid by HRH Princess Maha
Chakri Sirindhorn on 27 July 1990. The main construction was
complete on schedule at the end of June 1991 in a record 16
months, and extraordinary achievement given that a project
of this magnitude and complex would conservatively require
40 months under normal circumstances.
Despite the need for round-the-clock shifts and non-stop
on-site production of concrete aggregates all the height of
the most explosive building boom Thailand ever experienced
-total construction costs for building and equipment were
held at US$ 90 million. This was some US$ 10 million under
the original budget allocations. Most importantly,
approximately 70 percent of the total expenditure was spent
on domestically produced supplies.
The QSNCC's final decorative elements were in place by early
August, in good time for the grand opening by Their
Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit on 29
August 1991.
The completed QSNCC is administered by the Ministry of
Finance's Treasury Department, and though under private
sector management, remains a public asset.
The 46th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the
World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund serve
as the blue-ribbon launch even for the QSNCC, when some
10,000 of the financial world's most influential arrive in
Thailand from the 154 other World Bank/IMF signatory
nations. These distinguished guests leave behind one of the
world's most sophisticated multipurpose meeting facilities
for use in the decades to come.
