The Thailand Creative and Design Centre (TCDC) is to merge with the National Discovery Museum Institute to become the Thailand Discovery & Creative Centre, following criticism of "extravagant spending" by the Office of Knowledge Management and Development (OKMD).

Newspapers recently reported that TCDC had been renting office space at Emporium Tower for THB 5 million per month and paying one of its directors THB 370,000 a month.

The popular Design Centre will move in May when the OKMD signs a six-year lease for 2,000sqm of space at Chulalongkorn University's Jaturas Jamjuri Building near Siam Square.

I understand that it takes a lot of money to do things, but the rental price and director salaries seem to be a little over the board...if it were a very big organization I would understand the huge sum of money involved..in a way I love TCDC but in another it is scary to see how they are spending.. as long as i can hop on the BTS train and walk a little I am satisfied

I hope the standards won't drop once OKMD takes over though! And I am anticipating some great work over the new museum, but lets see..thai people are notorious for fudging up a good thing...

The government needs to build more fun and educational buidlings like this across the country!
