Furthermore, traditional dances from various regions of Thailand and a mini-concert put on by female Thai band SISMA are expected to bring wonderful experience to both locals and tourists.

Visitors will have the opportunity to try on traditional Thai costumes as part of the occasion and join in a lucky draw to get a chance to win prizes, including round-trip tickets to Thailand.
