Mrs. Supawan Teerarat, Ph.D., President of the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB, stated: “We are honored to collaborate with Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) under the banner “Team Thailand” in welcoming Amway (China) back to Thailand. Hosting over 10,000 delegates not only reflects the vibrancy of China-Thailand relations but also highlights trust in Thailand’s creative capabilities in delivering high value and innovative MICE experiences that go beyond conventional thinking of MICE program, thus, fulfilling the shifting needs of business world. This will be a landmark event in Thailand’s MICE and tourism industries and demonstrates Thailand’s in-depth strategy to stand out as a premier destination.”

Through our ‘Vibrant Bangkok City’ initiative, we invite delegates to immerse themselves in the rhythm of local life: savoring street-side delicacies prepared from generational recipes, exploring hidden temples nestled between skyscrapers, and engaging with artisans who preserve Thailand’s cultural legacy. This is experiential travel at its finest - rooted in authenticity, crafted with care.
This seminar reflects Thailand’s readiness to deliver world-class MICE experiences with a uniquely Thai touch. As we celebrate 50 years of China–Thailand relations, we reaffirm our commitment to purposeful tourism—where every journey is enriched by genuine connection and every moment leaves a lasting impression, made possible through the collaboration between the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB.
