Grab ride share is the official mode of ground transportation for the APJ GTM Summit, and should be used for ground transportation between Suvarnabhumi Airport/Don Mueang International Airport and the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park.
If you choose not to use Grab, taxi costs to/from the hotel/airport run about THB500 – THB600. We encourage you to rideshare with fellow employees if you are able. Be sure to save your receipt so that you can expense this cost after the Summit.
Renting a car is not recommended and will be at your own expense. Rental car costs will not be reimbursed.
If you require a Visa Invitation Letter – please fill in all required details during the online registration and ensure you have made your hotel reservation at the official event hotel booking link. The event team will work with the official event hotel to issue a guarantee letter for you to submit with your visa application. This will take around 3-4 working days after registration.
Single rooms will be given to all attendees.
Check-in for the hotel is 15:00hrs and check-out time is 12:00hrs.
The hotel offers free wireless internet access with each room reservation.
On the official registration site, there will be a link to make your own hotel reservations at the official APJ GTM Summit event hotel at the negotiated event rate. All APJ GTM Summit attendees must book rooms at the official event hotel Marriott Marquis Bangkok Queens Park.
Each attendee is responsible for paying for their room, tax, and incidental charges associated with their hotel stay. At reservation and onsite hotel check-in you will need to provide a credit card that can be charged for these items. Following the Summit, you can expense the costs for the approved nights of stay. If you do not have a credit card, please notify your manager to find a workable solution.
Note: Attendees will not be allowed to request reimbursement for additional hotel nights outside the approved Summit dates unless it has been approved in writing in advance by your manager.
You are responsible for updating the hotel with any changes or cancellations to your reservation using either the web link or the phone number published on the registration web site.
The negotiated hotel rate for a standard room is THB 4,800++ (single occupancy), approximately US$185 including 10% service charge and prevailing Government Tax (currently 7%) in effect at the time of check-out. Please be sure to check your bill to ensure you have not been over-charged when you check out of the hotel. It's always best to get a final copy of your bill before you depart so you can resolve charges while on-site.
Breakfast is included in the guest room rate. Lunch and coffee breaks will be provided on Monday for Technical Summit attendees, and for all attendees on Tuesday to Friday. Meals are also provided for those attendees who have scheduled meetings prior to or following the Summit. Most meals will be served buffet style with a wide variety of items to complement individual nutritional needs (i.e. vegan, vegetarian, gluten free).
Note: You will not be able to expense any meals that are already being provided as part of the Summit. Thus, it is important that you attend all planned meals unless the meal is specified for a particular group that you are not part of.

Tuesday – Welcome Reception for all Summit attendees
Wednesday – Small Group dinners arranged by respective teams
Thursday – Summit Gala Dinner for all Summit attendees
