A press conference was held to publicize the event at the Pullman Bangkok Grande Sukhumvit Hotel on the afternoon of the 16th of May. The deputy governor of Chonburi province Mr. Pawat Lerdmkda co-opened the press conference with representatives from the Trad Tourism and Sports Committees Mrs. Duangdeuan Sodsaeng-jan and Mr. Taworn Ratanakul.
