The Bangkok Refrigeration, Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning 2003 (Bangkok RHVAC 2003) in Thailand is getting huge interest from prospective exhibitors and industrial visitors, with more than 350 manufacturers from around the world having confirmed their presence at this world-class exhibition event in Thailand.
The trade fair, Bangkok RHVAC 2003, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia will feature more than 500 exhibitor booths with an exhibition area of 9,300 square metres at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok Thailand on September 17-21, 2003.
The first three days of the trade event are reserved exclusively for trade visitors and professionals from the cooling and refrigeration industry, of whom some 4,000 are expected to come from ASEAN member countries, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, the European Union, the Middle East, the United State of America, China, South Korea, etc.
