It's no secret that 2010 hasn't been the best of years for Thailand tourism, from a slow economic recovery to a serious swine flu risk to the social upheaval earlier this year. The Tourism Authority of Thailand has organized eight special events in light of these events in order to bring back the famous Thai smile.
These Smile@Siam events will take place throughout August and September.
1. First Smile in the Park (Musical in the Park) will be held from August 21 to 22 at Lumpini Park, Bangkok.
2. International Taste 2010 Amazing Thailand will be held September 10 to 12 at Fountain Courtyard, Siam Paragon, Bangkok.
3. Smile@Khao San Road will be held September 11 to 12 at the backpacker area Khao San Road and Soi Rambudtree, Bangkok.
4. Second Smile in the Park (Musical in the Park) will be held September 18 to 19 at Benjakitti Park, Bangkok (the first was held August 14-15).
