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.”
 Thai and foreign shoppers
joining the fun by wearing Thai dress will be able to get bargains and
privileges at 20 malls throughout Thailand, including: Siam Paragon, Siam
Center, CentralWorld, Gaysorn, Amarin, Terminal 21, Emporium, Mega
Bangna, Central Chidlom, Central Embassy, ZEN, EmQuartier, Platinum
Fashion Mall, MBK Center, River City Mall, Krung Thong Plaza, and Intra
Square in Bangkok.
In addition, all branches of The Mall, Central and Robinson
Department Stores nationwide will also take part. In Phuket, the
Jungceylon Shopping Complex will be giving a special welcome to shoppers
joining the campaign.
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.
To encourage visitors and shoppers to
visit the Amazing Thailand Grand Sale 2015, leading airlines are offering
discounts to the kingdom and restaurants and spas are participating to
ensure that visitors can sample some of Thailand’s mouth-watering local
and international cuisine and enjoy exotic health and wellness treatments
based on hundreds of years of Thai wisdom.
There are also discounts on
accommodation and popular activities such as golf. Participating
venues in the sale can be easily found by looking for the ‘Red Bag’
symbol displayed in shops.
Terms
and conditions apply. Visa cardholders are eligible to enter the lucky
draw for every 500 Baht spent with participating merchants. Thailand
Grand Sale campaign runs from 15 June to 15 August 2015.
