The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is thrilled to reveal that Bangkok is set to become the third destination in Thailand to have its own official Monopoly board game, known as Monopoly: Bangkok Edition. This exciting development follows the successful launches of the Phuket and Chiang Mai editions.
Mrs. Duangjai Kanteeranon, Deputy Executive Director of Europe Region, said “We are so excited to announce the launch of the Monopoly: Bangkok Edition in collaboration with Winning Moves. The development of the Bangkok edition marks a significant milestone in our partnership.
“The third Thailand inspired game in the collection, we still firmly believe that creating these destination focused editions provides a unique and fun platform to showcase Thailand’s diverse attractions, and we encourage our stakeholders to get involved to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Joining the ranks of global cities like Dublin, Dubai, and Sydney, Bangkok is poised to “Pass GO” on its official Monopoly game in 2024. The Monopoly: Bangkok Edition will replace traditional streets with the city’s cultural sites, historical landmarks, cherished businesses, and attractions. Each Chance and Community Chest card will share the unique stories of Bangkok with players.
Mr. Jake Houghton, Territory Head of Asia at Winning Moves, said “The game will be a celebration of Bangkok, of the street food, the culture, the landmarks and the stories. We want to hear what your favourite places are in Bangkok. Where do you visit locally? Where are the places you would take family and friends that are visiting Bangkok? We want to hear what is important in this community, no matter how big or small.
“We’re so excited to be putting together this special edition MONOPOLY board game for Bangkok and cannot wait to see what the public thinks we should look into to feature in this game!”
In addition to the Monopoly game, Winning Moves UK will release a Bangkok edition of the popular card game, Top Trumps, featuring a selection of the city’s top destinations and attractions.
Ms. Aroonroong Srivaddhanaprabha, Assistant Chief Investment Officer of King Power Corporation said “We are honoured to host the announcement of this exclusive edition of MONOPOLY: Bangkok edition. Serving as an iconic destination that attracts visitors globally on a daily basis, we are happy to highlight the exceptional experiences that Bangkok and King Power Mahanakhon has to offer, such as an exhilarating stroll on our glass floor at an awe-inspiring height of 314 meters above the city.”
The Monopoly: Bangkok Edition and Bangkok Top Trumps are expected to hit shelves in Bangkok towards the end of the year and will be available online. This release follows the Monopoly: Phuket Edition in 2022 and the Monopoly: Chiang Mai Edition and Chiang Mai Top Trumps in 2023.
