Mr. Acito stated that “The highlight of this years exhibition is the showcase of variety of products and services, which cover many business sectors ranging from airlines to travel agents, educational institutions, foods, fruits, wines, medical and health products, cosmetics, kitchen equipment, books, toys, fashion apparels, and technological products such as the latest innovation of General Motors, which manufactures Chevrolet and the latest models of the legendary Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. "USA FAIR 2007 is suitable for everybody at any age or sex, both Thais and foreigners, who desire to experience the real American lifestyle. In addition to the demonstration of large variety of American products, the exhibition event will also enhance trade relations between the two countries, which have been established for a long time," he added.

Jingthing Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Jolly good. What could be more American than Mexican food? Amway being a big company here is kind of embarrassing. Edited October 3, 2007 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great promotion price as well. By the way, the Princess will be there Friday morning so the doors will open to the public at noon. www.sunrisetacos.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSnrang Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Completely over-hyped. There were a few schools, travel agencies, a bit of food but not anything you couldn't get in the stores, and a little Harley Davidson collection. Not worth the walk up to the top floor.

jEFFREYk44 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) I went< stood outside and looked at the list of vendors, nothing inteesting and only food was Thaivisa, errrrrr, Sunrise Taco and American Rib, where was Bourbon Street. And if it is truly an American thing, please, hamburgers, hot dogs and apple pie! Yes it was an introductory thing, but introduce them correctly Edited October 6, 2007 by jEFFREYk44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legag Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Went there and VERY disappointed! Everything they have there (cookies, jam, lotion and lotta wine) are pretty much I could get it from any supermarket here. Not worth going. no Dr.Pepper! What a shame!!
