Thailand’s Pavilion at Global Village, the region’s leading
Cultural, Shopping and Entertainment family outdoor destination, was officially
opened last week, under the auspices of H.E.
Mr. Waravudh Chuviruch, Ambassador of Thailand to the UAE; and Saeed Ali Bin
Redha, the CEO of Global Village; in the presence of the Managing Director of
Vega Intertrade and Exhibitions (the organizers of the Thai Pavilion) Mr.
Akavut; in
addition to a large number of VIPs and guests. From Thailand to Global Village in
Dubai, the pavilion is a miniature model of bustling Bangkok. Heaps of
glittering accessories, bands, T-shirts, children’s clothes and shoes, as well
as cosmetics, exhibitors start their bids loud at a price of 5 AED only to
enthuse visitors for a shopping spree.
Foremost, dried seafood and Thai
fruits are packed in all colors and tastes. From dried prawns, one of the
fastest selling items, to dried ginger, pineapple and sweet, salty or natural
tamarind, has come straight from Thailand well preserved to retain its natural
taste. Homegrown dried mangoes, bananas and countless Thai fruits are also
showcased to express the taste and feel of the bustling city.
A trip to the Pavilion must include massage
shops for a demonstration in the latest techniques and aromas used for body and
face massage. A stop at one of the two massage centers located within the
pavilion are just as essential to complement the relaxation and healing.
Thailand is also famous for the
production of cubic diamonds and the best kinds of zircon. Many shops are showcasing
the latest fashion trends but the most popular is the black spinel which is a
rare gem only found in Thailand.
Before leaving, the food court at the
end of the Thai Pavilion is a must-try; be it Tom Yum or Thai Crispy Prawns,
there is a vast selection of delicacies that portray the real taste of Thailand.
And the crowds who are familiar with the rituals of the visit usually take
their boxes and head to the stage located at the entrance to watch the Thai
folk show for a lasting impression.
