We did APRICOT at this venue in 2002. Not a bad place for a
conference, but most certainly requires transportation to the hotels.

I was there too, for 10-14 days.  It was an experience I never forgot. 

While on the topic of QSNCC in Bangkok, I can contribute to the APRICOT
2002 experiences... Apart from hotels all being a long walk (there was
no subway in 2002, it was still being built), deploying wireless was a
challenge (or easy, depending on your point of view) as the centre had
been built specifically for a Governmental summit (perhaps ASEAN or
similar), so each hall was electromagnetically isolated. No leaky
wireless networks, but then a huge number of APs were needed. Which we
didn't realise in the site survey, not until turning up on the day to
deploy.

When APRICOT comes back to Bangkok in the future (it is a wonderful
conference/convention city), the subway will make the location much more
favourable, although I think the APIA Board will want to consider other
venues too in light of the previous experience with QSNCC.
