For the third time around, yours truly Runner Rocky took part in the most anticipated Thai event in the Philippines, the Thai Week.
This year's celebration is extraordinary and is different from the previous editions. First, it's because it took place in a different venue which is now in Makati City. Second, the event runs for four days, from Thursday to Sunday. And lastly, no Thai actor was featured this year unlike in 2020 with Mew Suppasit and last year with Tao Sattaphong Phiangphor. And yes, more new activities and highlights were showcased this 2024!
So without further ado, let me share with you this exciting story about the recently concluded Thailand Week 2024. Here it goes:
With the participation of over eighty (80) Thai and Philippine exhibitors, Thailand Week 2024 presented a diverse and exquisite range of products spanning food and beverage, health and beauty, household items, fashion and lifestyle, gems and jewelry, and a lot more. This impressive showcase underscored the event's pivotal role in promoting bilateral trade and economic collaboration between Thailand and the Philippines.
The grand opening ceremony, held on February 29, 2024, was attended by esteemed dignitaries and key stakeholders, heralding a new chapter of cooperation and synergy between the two nations.
The enthusiastic response from Filipino consumers and businesses was evident, with Thailand Week 2024 attracting a substantial turnout of approximately 16,000 visitors and generating remarkable sales. Visitors were treated to a sensory feast as they explored top-quality products at competitive prices while immersing themselves in Thai culture through captivating cultural performances and tantalizing food demonstrations by acclaimed Thai restaurants with certified Thai SELECT awards.
Meanwhile, here is my live video coverage during the event. Let's watch this:
For businessmen, Thailand Week 2024 provided an unparalleled opportunity to explore lucrative prospects, forge strategic partnerships, and expand market reach. The event served as a dynamic platform for Thai exporters and Filipino importers/distributors to engage in fruitful discussions and cultivate enduring business relationships.
Above all, Thailand Week 2024 served as a catalyst for strengthening the economic and cultural ties between Thailand and the Philippines, fostering mutual understanding and cooperation. As the two nations continue to deepen their engagement, Thailand Week remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing Thai-Filipino trade relations and promoting cross-cultural exchange.
