Deputy Prime Minister Prajin Junthong said during his visit to the 13th CAEXPO 2016 that Bangkok features charms and modern conveniences while the government will continue to promote Bangkok as a safe and convenient city for the country's tourist industry. The improvement of public transportation is yet to be carried out in cooperation between the public and private sectors, he said, while all products made in Thailand will be promoted to meet the international quality standards. Initially, Thailand Pavilion will showcase traditional performances from all parts of the country including Thai-style massage. Products made in Thailand, including herbal products, favorable, instant curries, fresh and processed fruits and rice are all attracting Chinese and other ASEAN visitors. -- nnt 2016-09-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brer Fox Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Seems "Thai-style massage" is one of the big attractions in Bangkok. There are many variations of Thai style massage so would they be referring particularly to the "soapy bubble" variety so popular with many tourists and locals.
