Bangkok, 30 June, 2014 – The annual Amazing Thailand Grand Sale enjoyed a memorable opening thanks to an exciting “Shopping Challenge” that got everyone in the mood for Bangkok’s three-month shopping extravaganza that opened on 15 June and will continue to 30 September, 2014.
The fun, frantic and event-filled competition took place on 18 June, in Bangkok’s main shopping districts of Ratchaprasong and Siam. Fifteen teams of celebrities from 11 Asian countries raced round some of Bangkok’s best-loved malls including Siam Paragon, CentralWorld and Gaysorn to find bargains and win prizes.
The eventual worthy-winners, Ms. Qu Wei and Ms. Wang Laijing, were the team from Beijing, China.
