The Thailand pavilion at the World Expo 2020 being held in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates from October 1st until March 31st next year, has drawn an average of 10,000 visitors each day since the opening of the international exposition.

 

Former Thai ambassador to Argentina Narisroj Fuangrabil said in his Facebook post on Sunday that the average 10,000 visitors a day to the Thailand pavilion accounts for 15% of all visitors to the exposition and should be regarded as an achievement of the Thai government.

 

He noted that the success of the Thai pavilion has defied many Thai critics, who ridiculed it as “obsolete and not modern” that contradicts its conceptual theme of “Mobility for the Future”.

I think it was so that it is clear that next events will be held in 2024 as scheduled and not 2025. I don't see any other reason either.

I figure so many shirts, souvenirs, signs, stationary.... you name it.... already made for 2020. Huge expense to do all over again. If people get confused as to which year it is, they could always look on their smart phone.... ????
