Mrs. Vilaiwan Twichasri, TAT’s Deputy Governor for Tourism Products and Business said, “The Amazing Thailand Grand Sale is always an eagerly anticipated event among bargain-hunting locals and tourists who love to take advantage of Thailand’s unparalleled shopping and pick up big-brand goods at the best prices. 

"This year our Discover Thainess tourism campaign has influenced the sale with special incentives for shoppers who appreciate the Thai people’s innate sense of fun.”

The Amazing Thailand Grand Sale has grown year on year since its inception in 1998, and has to-date become the biggest event of its kind in the kingdom with 15,000 shops in 110 malls and shopping centres up and down the kingdom taking part in offering discounts of between 5 and 80 per cent on certain goods as well as other fun and money-saving promotions over the course of the sale.  

The grand sale includes clothes, electronic goods as well as items unique to the nation.
This year campaign will return with “Travel 365 Days in Thailand” grand prize, whereby the winners are entitled to bring a friend to visit Thailand for up to 10 days in each month of the entire year, with round-trip air tickets and hotel accommodation provided. 

According to Mr. Somboon Krobteeranon, Country Manager, Visa Thailand, the campaign has been a success last year with winners from Penang, Malaysia and Bangkok, Thailand.

Mrs. Vilaiwan added, “For an extra element of fun, major discounts of up to 80 per cent will be offered to shoppers, Thai and foreign, who are wearing traditional Thai dress to shop at participating stores during the sale. 

"This special activity has been inspired by TAT’s Discover Thainess 2015 campaign which promotes unique elements and cultural gems of Thai culture.”

This year Amazing Thailand Grand Sale will once again start with an exciting ‘Shopping Challenge’ to get everyone in the mood to spend. 

The second Shopping challenge held last year was a great success as 15 teams of celebrities from across Asia raced each other round Bangkok’s best-loved shopping areas to find products and win exciting prizes.
