The multi-building campus is being constructed on a 6.6-acre site to the east of the Old City along Chiang Mai’s Super Highway ring road. The site is in close proximity to Payap University and within the new Chiang Mai Business Park. The new campus will include a three-story Consular office building as well as other support facilities for the Consulate community. The Consulate General will provide a sustainable, resilient, safe, and secure platform for U.S. diplomacy in Thailand. The construction contract was awarded in Fall 2019 and completion is anticipated in 2023.

Throughout this project, an estimated $45 million will be invested in the local economy and the project will employ an estimated workforce of 600 American, Thai, and third-country nationals. Approximately 70% are local workers, of which many will learn new skills that will help distinguish them from other construction workers in the local labor market.
