Bangkok, 21 April, 2020, at 12.30 Hrs. – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) London Office has launched a series of “Stay at Home Thai Style’ videos and games to give Brits a taste of Thailand while they cannot travel to the ‘Land of Smiles’.
TAT London Office Director, Ms. Chiravadee Khunsub, said, “Our wish is to give Brits something to do to help their mental health and well-being during lockdown while providing them new skills to learn or games to play. It’s something all the family can get involved with.
“Whether you’ve been to Thailand or not, this is a great way to immerse yourself in a taste of Thai culture. Maybe, we’ll inspire a new wave of Thai boxing enthusiasts or budding Thai chefs!”
Stay at Home Thai Style
Launching on 20 April, 2020, a new video or game will be added over the week via the https://fanclubthailand.co.uk/ website, or Instagram: fanclubthailand, or Facebook: fanclubthailand.
