In my last post, I wrote about the 2015 Discover Thainess Campaign launch in Bangkok - an extravagant 2-hour parade and performance show vividly highlighting 'Thainess' or the Thai way of life. The lavish launch was a delightful way of showcasing to the world a glimpse into Thai life and culture. Here are some photos from the spectacular event.

So if you are planning a trip to Thailand this year, you not only get to experience the outstanding Thai hospitality, but also get a deeper insight into the many cultural assets of Thailand - everything that makes Thailand an outstanding tourist destination.
