Instructions:

1. Stablish at least three trends of the country.

Country: Thailand

1. Shopping online
Thailand has become one of the top shopping destinations in Asia online and in malls.
It has numerous shopping centers and markets that are modern. The visitor will find
both typical Thai handicrafts and the products of the main luxury brands.

2. Food
Some of the most “chic” restaurants belong to hotels; others are independent and are
mainly found in Bangkok and other tourist cities such as Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hua Hin,
Samui, or Hat Yai, among others. Asian cuisine, barbecues, fresh seafood or
vegetarian dishes, without forgetting the rich and varied Thai cuisine, are some of the
proposals in the extensive offer. In addition, many of the restaurants are located in the
viewpoints of the highest floors of the skyscrapers, where you can enjoy excellent
cuisine and of course, impressive views, which is why it is in trend.

3. Design
Boutique hotels are emerging as a strong trend in Thailand tourism. Also known as
“designer hotels” or “lifestyle hotels”, these intimate and luxurious alternatives are
distinguished from large chains by offering tailor-made accommodation with
personalized service. In Thailand they vary according to the area, but you can choose
between cabins built in the middle of nature, bungalows in privileged areas with the
beach or the mountains as a backdrop, etc. All of them have easy access and
affordable prices.
