BANGKOK — A new design center opened June 21 at Emporium in the space formerly used by the Thailand Creative and Design Center, or TCDC, which moved its base to the Grand Postal Building in Charoenkrung last month.
The AIS Design Centre, or AIS D.C., has partially opened on the fifth floor of Emporium shopping mall to welcome new startups and those who interested in design and creative endeavors.
As its name suggests, the new place is a collaboration between mobile operator Advance Info Service, or AIS, and TCDC.
