Impact, Muang Thong Thani (Thai:ศูนย์แสดงสินค้าและการประชุม อิมแพ็ค เมืองทองธานี) is a commercial complex consisting of theImpact Arena, aconvention centre, and exhibition halls, located inMuang Thong Thani inPak Kret District ofNonthaburi Province, a northern suburb ofBangkok, Thailand.

It has been considered as the second largest exhibition and convention venue in Asia with an indoor floor space of over 140,000 sqm. Its Challenger Hall is currently the world's largest column-free exhibition hall. The venue hosts over 490 events and welcomes over 15 million visitors each year.

Impact, Muang Thong Thani originated as the Muang Thong Thani Sports Complex, built for the1998 Asian Games by real estate developerBangkok Land. Bangkok Land is the developer ofMuang Thong Thani, a real estate development envisioned in 1989 as asatellite city of Bangkok. It grew rapidly among Thailand's economic boom of the early 1990s, but became ruined financially when the bubble burst in the lead-up to the1997 Asian financial crisis.

Bangkok Land had been selected as a venue for the games before the crisis, and there were concerns whether it would be able to finish the construction on time. It was completed less than a month before the games began in December 1998.^[3][4] The Muang Thong Thani Sports Complex hosted boxing, weightlifting, billiards & snooker, gymnastics, volleyball, tennis and rugby competitions.

Following the conclusion of the games, Bangkok Land redeveloped part of the sports complex as a convention and exhibition center, renaming it the Impact Exhibition Center in 1999. At the time, the entire venue comprised what is now Impact Arena and the first four halls of Impact Exhibition Center. The weightlifting and rugby venues, now Thunder Dome andThunderdome Stadium, had their ownership contractually transferred to theSports Authority of Thailand.

The Impact Convention Center was built in 2000, while the expansion of IMPACT Exhibition Center was completed in 2003. The column-free Impact Challenger exhibition halls were completed in early 2006. Spanning 60,000 sqm, the Impact Challenger Halls are presently the world's biggest column-free exhibition halls.

TheMiss Universe 2005 andMiss Universe 2018 beauty pageants were held at the Impact Arena. It was originally scheduled to host theMiss Earth 2011 but was relocated back to thePhilippines because of the2011 Thailand floods.^[5]

The Impact Arena hosted fiveONE Championship mixed martial arts events from 2016 to 2018. It also hosted2018 Thomas & Uber Cup badminton tournament,^[6] which is also the first time Thailand hosted a major badminton event since1976 Thomas Cup.^[7]

The Impact Challenger is set to host the2025 Miss Universe Pageant on November 21st (Thailand), November 20th (USA). This will be the 3rd time Impact, Muang Thong Thani, will host the pageant.

IMPACT the busiest entertainment venue in Thailand for many regional and international artists over the years when they perform in Thailand, spanning a wide range of musical genres.^[9]
