The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) announced that the much anticipated ‘Monopoly: Bangkok Edition’ will officially pass “GO” on 2 November, with an exciting launch event at Central World, followed by an exclusive after-party at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok.

The third edition of Monopoly board game in the Thailand series will feature brand-new tokens inspired by Bangkok's vibrant culture and everyday life.

This edition celebrates the essence of Bangkok, highlighting its cultural landmarks, bustling street markets and luxury hotels. I am so proud to see the city captured in this moment through one of the world’s most iconic games.”

Created by Winning Moves UK, under license from Hasbro and in partnership with TAT, Monopoly: Bangkok Edition will feature six brand-new, Bangkok-themed tokens:

Mango Sticky Rice: A nod to Thailand’s most beloved dessert, this token captures the sweet essence of Bangkok’s culinary scene.

Muay Thai Boxing Gloves: Representing Thailand’s national sport, this token celebrates the strength and agility of the country’s renowned martial arts.

A Suitcase: Perfect for the traveller at heart, this token symbolizes the adventure and discovery that awaits in every corner of Bangkok.

The launch event will take place at craftstudiO, 5th floor at Central World, where guests will be among the first to see the official unveiling of the game, explore and purchase the Monopoly: Bangkok Edition, and have a chance to win prizes.
