MBK Reaffirms Its Status as a World-class Tourism Landmark in the Heart of the City

PATHUMWAN, Thailand - Dec. 24, 2025 - PRLog -- Once again, Thailand gears up for the 8th Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok 2025, one of the country's largest running events. Competitors will vie for a royal cup awarded by His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen, with runners from across the globe participating. The lineup includes Eliud Kipchoge, the first Kenyan to run a marathon in under 2 hours, alongside elite athletes from over 20 countries and more than 48,000 participants from 86 nations.

MBK, through MBK Center, and Pathumwan Princess Hotel are sponsoring the event for the second consecutive year, promoting Bangkok as a premier running capital.

Mr. Wichak Praditavanij, CEO & President of MBK Public Company Limited, said, "MBK is proud to sponsor the World Capital Marathon Series again. MBK Center will be the starting point for the full marathon of 42.195 km and the half marathon of 21.1 km. We have prepared spaces for warm-ups, accommodations, and ample parking, and the Center will also serve as a broadcast station for the event."

Pathumwan Princess Hotel will provide over 300 rooms and facilities for world-class athletes, including dining and meeting rooms for VIPs and organizers. The event receives the gracious support of Her Majesty Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana, who will participate in the half marathon alongside Kipchoge and officiate the start of both marathon events. Her Majesty will also pose for a photo with MBK's executive team, reflecting royal benevolence and support.

MBK Center, recognized by TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Award 2025 as a top destination in Bangkok, ensures visitors enjoy a world-class shopping and tourist experience. Sponsoring this marathon further enhances Thailand's reputation as a host of major international running events.

MBK looks forward to sponsoring the Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok again next year, continuing its mission to create memorable experiences for both Thai and international tourists.
