December 15, the Asiatique Sky started operations in the latest, greatest leisure venue in Bangkok, called Asiatique the Riverfront, owned by TCC Land Group. The Giant Wheel in Thailand has been delivered by Dutch Wheels from the Netherlands. This R-Series giant wheel type R60, carries 42 fully enclosed, air conditioned gondolas and gives its passengers a stunning view over Bangkok and the Chao Phraya river bend from almost 60 meters height.

Asiatique offers 40 restaurants and bars on site, along with many stores for great shopping, a puppet theatre and the Calypso Bangkok Theatre. The first phase of the project occupies 12,000 acres, but the entire site, when completed, will measure 28,880 acres. The development also features the city's longest public boardwalk, at 300 meters, where concerts and festivals are set to take place. The headline attraction now undoubtedly is the Asiatique Sky, a landmark that puts the Asiatique leisure development on the map.

Swiss AEX Group has secured a long term agreement with Asiatique/TCC to present the wheel as an integral part of its leisure activities. The Asiatique Sky has been very successful since its opening and is already turning into an icon for the city of Bangkok.
