The “Amazing Muay Thai Travel Experience” campaign has been launched to promote Thailand’s tourism industry, with the initiative to portray four regions of ancient Thai martial arts.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) recently hosted a launch ceremony for the program at the Thanarat Hall of its headquarters in Bangkok.
Apichai Chatchalermkit, the TAT’s deputy governor for tourism products and business, said the authority has been working to attract more tourists by using the art of wrestling as a soft power asset.
“Amazing Muay Thai Experience” represents the uniqueness of fighting techniques from different regions. The four provinces are: Muay Chaiya, from Surat Thani province; Muay Korat, from Nakhon Ratchasima, in northeastern Thailand; Muay Tha Sao, from Uttaradit province; and Muay Lopburi, from Lopburi province, in the center of the country.
