Thailand Science Park

Thailand Science Park (TSP) (Thai: อุทยานวิทยาศาสตร์ประเทศไทย) is in Tha Khlong, Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani Province near Rangsit, north of Bangkok. Managed by the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. Thailand Science Park was set up in 2002.
