The Thailand Tourism Festival 2019 takes place from January 23-27 in
Bangkok’s Lumpini Park with five ‘tourism villages’ representing the
regions of Thailand plus two additional zones:
Central Region Zone – presents the heritage of old
Siam through a traditional Thai house and the former rural way of life
back in the days through demonstrations, such as, traditional garland
making.
Northern Zone – showcases the beautiful hand-woven
cotton and silk textiles the region is famous for, presenting the
intricate patterns. The zone reflects the artistic nature of the people
of the North plus a range of contemporary arts inspired by the region.
Southern Zone – presenting new perspectives of the
South that go beyond the beaches and islands including the secondary
cities such as Surat Thani and Phatthalung, the hidden gems in major
cities like Phuket’s Peranakan and arts in the three southernmost
provinces.
.
.
Northeastern (Isan) Zone – brings Thailand’s more
vibrant cuisine to life. Food is one major inspiration for travelling to
this region, linking it with traditional festivals and cultural values
while promoting its three main tourism clusters: North Isan, Central
Isan and South Isan.
Eastern Zone – presenting new perspectives of the
East under a ‘more fun’ concept through replicas of landmarks most
synonymous with the region in combination with three dedicated corners
for 3D photography backdrops reflecting the region’s identity.
Perhaps most importantly, there is also a ‘Reduce-Reuse-Recycle’
waste initiative zone to help raise awareness and promote responsible
and sustainable tourism through various activities, games and more.
TAT Studio – provides daily live broadcasts of the TTF 2019 in all
formats: news reports, special scoops, interviews plus activities and
performances. It comprises a live digital TV studio, a 1672 traveller
companion information centre, an ‘Or Sor Tho’ magazine section, and
virtual reality games and lucky draws.
