Traveling to the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), one of Thailand’s leading exhibition venues in the east of the capital, is very easy. With the opening of the link between the Bang Na– Chon Buri tollway on 1 June 2005, has significantly reduced the traffic congestion directly in front of the centre by eliminating the bottleneck at the Bang Na intersection. What’s more, access to the west wing of BITEC has also improved with the opening of a new entrance on the Sukhumvit-Samrong road. Vehicles coming from Bangkok on the expressway can now exit via the Samrong flyover directly to the new Entrance 3 without entering the Bang Na-Trad Highway. And since early 2005, BITEC has added another 15,000 sq.m. of parking space, thereby increasing the total car-park capacity to 4,700 cars.
