BANGKOK, 6 August 2010 (NNT) – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will arrange the “Smile[at]Siam” event in the Siam Square area in a bid to rebuild the good image of Bangkok and help entrepreneurs affected by the political riots.

Ms Pensuda Priaram, Deputy Governor for Tourism Products and Business of the TAT, stated that “Smile[at]Siam” was a sequel to the “Smile[at]Ratchaprasong” event, which was organized at the nearby Ratchaprasong Intersection and ended with tremendous success. She said the continued project was aimed to help relieve people’s financial hardship incurred by the prolonged rally of the anti-government group and to revive the sluggish economy. The activity is also expected to help restore the liveliness of the capital and rebuild confidence among foreign tourists.

The “Smile[at]Siam” event will be held from 14 to 15 August 2010 during 10.00-22.00 hrs at Siam Square and adjacent areas. It will be a golden opportunity for shoppers to purchase brand name products at discounted prices while a variety of food and beverages will also be sold.

The activity will also feature many entertainment performances with 4 main stages at Siam Square Soi 3, Siam Paragon Shopping Complex, Siam Center and MBK Center.
