Thailand's Korat Expo 2029 (World Horticultural Expo) faces a venue relocation decision from Khong to Pak Chong district. Pak Chong offers better infrastructure and lower state investment (~4 billion baht), while Khong requires 6 billion baht in additional infrastructure but promises greater economic dispersal to rural areas and neighboring provinces. The Chamber president warns that Pak Chong's timeline may be tight for 2029 preparation. Cabinet approval is expected September 1, with AIPH international notification by September 4. This major infrastructure and tourism project could create thousands of jobs and generate roughly 30 billion baht in economic value—critical for Isaan development strategy.
