There are currently 12 Disney theme parks across six global resorts, with a 13th planned in Abu Dhabi. In a report by Lifestyle Asia, yet another Disney park might be built in Thailand.

The Thai Government had previously explored the opportunity to build an entertainment complex proposal that included a casino. Now, they have pivoted to the idea of bringing a world-class theme park—potentially Disneyland—to the country.

The updated plan centres on the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), with officials instructed to look for suitable land across four provinces: Chonburi, Rayong, Chachoengsao, and Chanthaburi. Alongside a major theme park, plans also include a new international stadium with a capacity of 80,000 seats, aimed at hosting global sports events and large-scale concerts.

Together, these projects are being positioned as ‘magnet attractions’ that could draw both tourists and investors into the eastern-region, while also giving Thailand something big and family-friendly outside of Bangkok.

The timing of this isn’t accidental. Long-delayed infrastructure projects, including the high-speed rail line linking Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi, and U-Tapao airports, are back in focus. Ergo, officials believe attractions like a Disneyland-level theme park would make the case for these mega investments far more compelling.

This “plan” is not confirmed and is now simply in the idea stage. However, if it moves forward, Thailand could eventually find itself joining Japan, Hong Kong, and Shanghai as one of Asia’s homes to a Disney resort.
