The Thai Theatre is located in the New Academic Building (NAB).
This is a 61 seat venue; however, the area at the front of the theatre is not very large. The amount of space is suitable for 2 speakers; more than this can be crowded and provide acoustic challenges if they are softly spoken.
Please note that support outside the hours of 08.30-18.00 must be pre-arranged and may require funding. Not all events necessarily require a technician present.
