5 REGION THAI TRAVEL FEST

Have you ever!

...stepped your feet to the fresh orchard where various kinds of fruit are ready to pick and enjoy its tase.
...walked on the narrow trail to see white water fall down to hit the rocks and soaked in the cool pond.
...eperince the underwater world where lively corals and colourful fish perform their dances around yourself.
...said goodbye to sunset and spend your nightlife in the vibrant city.
And the most important, have you ever experienced all of these wonderful things in one trip.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand's newly-launched "5 Region Thai Travel Fest" features a series of five regional travel fairs targeting Thai consumers in the various regions of Thailand.
