Thailand as a destination continuously reinvents itself with new products which are of great draw for repeat travellers. The recent Mega Familiarisation trip effectively showcased many of these new attractions in the country, for the Indian market
Tourism Authority of Thailand recently organised a Mega Familiarisation trip for Indian media and travel agents. The trip effectively highlighted the new tourism attractions in Thailand, which would be of much interest to repeat travellers as well as first-time Indian visitors to the country. The capital of Bangkok, has always remained a popular destination for Indian leisure and MICE travellers since last two decades. The newest mega attraction in the city is definitely Madame Tussauds. From being greeted by a life-like statue of Britney Spears at the entrance to getting yourself clicked with Thailand's royal family, from rubbing shoulders with music greats like Ludwig van Beethoven and Luciano Pavarotti to getting yourself clicked with minds that shaped the world (Mark Zuckerberg and Albert Einstein). A section showcasing the history of Madame Tussauds including how the wax statues are created is an eye opener. Visitors of all ages can also enjoy a fun-filled 4D movie Ice Age : No Time for Nuts.
A visit to Madame Tussauds can be combined with other nearby attractions like Sea Life Bangkok where visitors can get up close with fascinating creatures of the deep sea through interactive displays. While the Seahorse Kingdom takes visitors to the colourful world of sea horses, they will be equally mesmerised by the enchanting jelly fishes. The Ocean Tunnel, the Shark Walk, Rocky Hideout and Penguin Ice Adventure are among the highlights at Sea Life Bangkok.An upcoming attraction about a two hours drive from Bangkok is Suan Lamai - Kingdom of Fruit on the Mountain. This place is at a distance of 150 km from Bangkok and 70 km from Rayong. The destination is being promoted as a "fruit paradise" where visitors can enjoy fruit buffet, indulge in activities like sheep feeding and get themselves photographed in the Cosmos flower field. There is also a quaint cafe in the premises.
