Bukaw Banchmek said that it was a honor to take part in the new online activity and was proud that the TAT were using kick boxing to promote the country.
The campaign covers a variety of topics, including “Thai Garland”, “Thai Dance”, “Thai Food” and “Speaking Thai Language”. The three teams voted to have the best Muay Thai video will win round-trip tickets and other prizes worth more than Bt1 million.
