MAE HONG SON, 28 July 2012 – Ms. Nainapat Sungkhanukit, provincial officer of the Department of Internal Trade for Mae Hong Son, says that her office will hold another fair selling low-cost products this month to help lower living expenses. The so-called Blue Flag Fair will be the seventh of its kind in this province, and will take place from July 29 to 31 at the View Point area in Mae La Noi district.
Over 60 shops are expected to participate in the event, to offer goods at low price to help ease the high cost of living.

Blue Flag products are offered at prices 20-40% lower than normal market prices.
