Online quiz to promote Thai tourism

By our Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, August 10: The second edition of the online quiz competition ‘maste Thailand’ was launched recently on Facebook. The competition, which seeks to raise awareness amongst the Indian youths about the socio-cultural history of Thailand and build on the country’s linkages with India, will continue till September 30.

Open for youths from 13-25 years of age, the competition is being seen as a bid to lay the groundwork for the 70th anniversary celebrations of Indo-Thai diplomatic relations in 2017. Winners of the two-month-long competition will get a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to Thailand. Awards will also be given to competitors on a weekly basis.

maste Thailand is a fun online learning space which guides you to ‘Amazing Thailand’ through hundreds of questions, facts, photographs and video clips. The First maste Thailand quiz had been held on Facebook from July 15, 2015 to January 12, 2016 and generated around 43,000 likes from fans across India.

In an apparent bid to make the competition short and intensive, the time duration of this edition has been shortened to two months.

Interested youths can participate in the competition by giving a like on the maste Thailand page on Facebook and answering the daily questions there.
