SAWATDI KHRAP.

The Amazing Thailand Grand Sale is just over and we hope you had a wonderful time shopping in Thailand. There are more things to come over the next few months until the end of the year.

In October, visitors to Bangkok would get to see the Royal Barge Procession on the Chao Phraya River. On Oct 22, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, accompanied by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit and the rest of the royal family would present monk robes in a kathin ceremony to Wat Arun. The royal family will arrive by beautiful barges, rowed by members of the Royal Thai Navy. This is only the 17th time since 1959 that the royal barge procession had been held.

Some of you may already be aware that if you have a stopover in Bangkok, specifically the Suvarnabhumi International Airport, and is staying at the Novotel, you are entitled to a flexi meal. Instead of entitlement to just breakfast, depending on the time of your arrival and check-in, you may change it to lunch or dinner.

Golfers should take note that the 2011 Asia Pacific Golf Summit would be held in Pattaya at the end of October. Among the speakers who would be attending is former tennis great Jimmy Connors.

Until the end of October, the Hua Hin Marriot would also be providing discounts on rooms when you book one week or earlier in advance.

Cooking emthusiats can now hop over to Phuket and over a weekend learn Thai culinary art at the Dusit Thani Laguna at less than RM200 per person.

In the next two months, many events are scheduled such as the tennis PTT Thailand Open in Bangkok, the Sakhon Nakhon wax festival, the illuminated boat procession in Nakhon Phanom and many more.

If you seek a different kind of thrill, we would like to announce that a boutique thriller mall called Mansion 7 had opened in the Ratchadaphisek area. It comes with a mysterious Dark Mansion, which is the highlight of the complex – adding another dimension to your shopping thrill. In Narathiwat, to commemorate HM the King's 84th birthday, an exhibition to showcase the royal projects will be held at the Pikul Thong Development and Study Center in September.

As you can see, we have everything to suit your tastes and fancies – be it shopping, adventure tourism, eco-tourism or golf. Book a date to visit soon. We will always amaze you in Amazing Thailand.

Thank you and see you soon.
