3. Films
Do you know what the movie Beach, Ready, Mortal Kombat, Bridget Jones, and Fast and Furious have in common? Each of them has at least one epic scene filmed in the outstanding beauty of Thailand, if not the whole movie!
Thailand’s oceans, islands, jungles, and even the cityscape are backdrops to innumerable movies in the cinematic universe.

remarkable destinations and learn all about their beauty at the Amazing Thailand festival on all three days.

4. Festival
Thailand and India are incredibly similar – they share a common heritage. It is probably why you’ll find Thai people revere Ganesha and Hanuman with many dedicated temples and organise several live shows of Ramayana. But, the one big thing both cultures absolutely love is their festivals!
Thailand celebrates festivals all through the year, owing to its diversity and natural beauty. Harvest festivals, festivals that honour flora and fauna, religious festivals, and more. The Amazing Thailand Festival will celebrate and bring you an experience of these fun festivals. Come and experience Thailand’s most iconic festivals like Songkran, Loi Krathong, and more!
5. Fight
When a martial art has the word Thai as part of it, you know it is unmistakably a national sport of that country! Muay Thai is no easy martial art either. Legends of this ancient art train for years to perfect their fighting skills and compete on several levels to be the best.
Can you imagine meeting real champions and live Muay Thai shows right here in front of you? Watch live demos and get a chance to meet some renowned Muay Thai fighters at The Amazing Thailand festival. If you’re up for it, you can even learn a lesson and duel with the experts!
