Win a free trip to Chiang Mai through a character collection game

Taiwan is gradually entering winter. Want to visit a warm southern island? Thailand has always been a popular travel destination among Taiwanese — not only is it close by, but the cost is reasonable and the food is delicious. With autumn in full swing, why not browse the official website of the Tourism Authority of Thailand? They are currently running a “Collect Characters for a Free Trip to Chiang Mai” campaign — you might be the next winner.

Chiang Mai in Thailand is a hub for temples and offers a different vibe from Bangkok.

Starting now, simply visit the official website of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Taipei Office at www.tattpe.org.tw. Spend a few minutes each day browsing their new content and answer a question. Collect all five specified characters “泰。国。欢。迎。您” (Welcome to Thailand), and you can enter the Chiang Mai Free Travel raffle. There are also 150 great prizes on offer, including foldable travel bags and T-shirts. This event has also specially invited five travel agencies — Shih Hsing, Phoenix, Fu Tai, Southeast, and Xi Mei — to offer discounts on the character collection cards for each of the five characters. If you’re planning a trip, looking for information, or ready to go, don’t miss out on these special discounts.

Chiang Mai’s night market, stretching nearly 500 meters (Chiang Mai Night Bazaar), sells many handmade crafts.

Campaign period: From October 20, 2010, to December 22, 2010. The draw will take place on December 27, 2010 (winners will be announced on the official website of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Taipei Office on December 28, 2010).

The prizes include: 2 free trips to Chiang Mai (winner plus one travel companion), 50 custom foldable travel bags, and 100 T-shirts.
