TAT launches “Trailblazer Thailand” virtual experience video series

Bangkok, 10 November, 2020 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) New York Office has launched a video campaign, Trailblazer Thailand, focussed on virtually immersing tourists into the country’s lesser-known destinations.

Hosted by model, TV host, and Muay Thai fighter Mia Kang, the 3-part series showcases Thailand’s most luxurious hotels and resorts, while also bringing attention to the local communities, wealth of hidden gems, and incredible places where travellers can have once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
The series will also spotlight the country’s dedication to sustainable tourism, notable luxury experiences and community-based tourism.

Mia Kang will lead viewers to discover hidden gem destinations in three regions of Thailand – Northern, Central, and Southern – including Pai, Sukhothai, Bangkok and Ko Samui. The culturally curious can follow along with Mia to unlock clues in each episode, uncovering the country’s unique local activities and luxurious accommodation.

Ms. Charinya Kiatlapnachai, Director of the TAT New York Office, said, “As we begin welcoming tourists back to Thailand, our goal is to provide the planning tools and inspiration needed for travellers to safely immerse themselves into lesser-known destinations and authentic Thai culture to become trailblazers themselves. Mia is the ideal partner for inspiring wanderlust and itinerary planning, while introducing travellers to hidden gem destinations.”

The first episode will debut on 10 November and viewers can watch on IGTV @MiaKang every Tuesday and on TAT’s YouTube playlist every Thursday.
