Splash & Spice Festival returns

THE Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Visa International (VISA), drawing on the success of last year's first Thailand Splash and Spice festival, have teamed up again to offer visitors an expanded promotion for Thailand Splash and Spice this year.

The campaign, for this year, running until May 31, has grown beyond Bangkok to include Chiang Mai, Pattaya, and Phuket. An attractive and tasty variety of dining and accommodation specials are being offered under the rubric of the 2013 Splash and Spice extravaganza.

These special promotions coincide with the Thai New Year and its phenomenally popular water festivals throughout the country, held every year between 12-15 April, although celebrations and festivities take place a week before and a week after the official holiday dates.

TAT Governor Suraphon Svetasreni noted that, "This exciting campaign will showcase Thai food at its best to a worldwide audience. The variety and unique flavours of Thai food has won fans from around the world and is one of the great draws of foreign tourists to Thailand."

All visitors and travellers are invited to enjoy discount packages and promotions at some 57 five-star hotels, as well as more than 30 participating outlets at the Suvarnabhumi Airport and selected shopping malls.

Splash and Spice 2013 aims to show off the Kingdom's luxury hotels, must-visit restaurants, and signature dishes prepared by renowned international chefs.
