2.2 Happiness Surprises: Along the
walking street, there will be two giant gift boxes which can only be opened by
smiling participants. They will be invited to take photos and post it to the
Instagram feed “Return happiness to Thailand”. After getting 100% energy of
smiles, the boxes will be opened to find different surprises inside; such as, a
chance to meet their favourite celebrities.

activities to bring out more smiles. For example:
- “Connect to Happiness” will offer a free lollipop
machine. Visitors can press a button on the smiley stand and lollipop will
come out, but the smiley stand and the machine will go further apart. The
next person waiting in the queue will need to find a helper to reconnect
it, creating bonds and friendship amongst people who do not otherwise know
each other.
