Thailand Cultural Centre

Thailand Cultural Centre is a performing-arts venue in Bangkok, Thailand.

Built with a grant from Japan, the Thailand Cultural Centre opened in 1987 as part of celebrations for King Bhumibol's 60th birthday. The Thailand Cultural Centre was established under the cooperation between the Government of Japan and Thailand. However since 1987, Thai Government has become fully responsible for all administrative and organisational aspects of the Centre.

Thailand Cultural Centre, a division of the Office of the National Culture Commission, Ministry of Education, is an important institution which primarily deals with organising cultural services for the benefit of the general public. It is fully integrated venue for social education and cultural activities.
