Bangkok, 13 June 2023 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) staged the “Shopping Challenge” to mark the opening of the much-anticipated Amazing Thailand Grand Sale 2023. The activity saw 12 teams made up of key opinion leaders (KOLs) and influencers from China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan compete for a special prize by racing around Bangkok’s most famous malls to find great bargains.
Each team was given 10,000 Baht and the task of live streaming while hunting within two hours for the best products at great bargains at the MBK Centre, CentralWorld, Siam Discovery, Gaysorn Village, EmQuartier, and Terminal 21 – all located along the BTS Skytrain Sukhumvit Line. TAT awarded a 100,000 Baht prize for the winning teams.
Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, said “The Shopping Challenge is a fitting introduction to the Amazing Thailand Grand Sale, which has been instrumental in reinforcing Thailand’s long-standing positioning as one of the world’s top six popular shopping destinations. We look forward to welcoming the world to this year’s sale to find great bargains on a variety of goods as well as great savings on tourism products, such as accommodation, health and wellness, and travel experiences.”
