Bangkokians have turned out on mass to support hundreds of small business traders affected by the now dispersed months long protests that inhabited the central shopping district of Bangkok. Many of the traders were hit hard by the recent protests as they were left unable to open their shops/stalls/ food carts etc.
Trade was brisk, with many vendors rushing to restock their makeshift stalls several times. As many as 300,000 people were said to have visited the unique walking street by early Saturday evening and plans for future events across the city being formulated.
Bangkok united – feels like the land of smiles is returning to life!

Each year during the North American Summer international visitors flock to Thailand traveling to the ‘city’ – Bangkok, the ‘mountains’ – Chiang Mai, and the ‘sea, sun & sand’ – Phuket only to find that Phuket can be quite the wet tropical destination at this time of year.
This year don’t get caught out, but instead look to the Gulf of Siam, and the sunny shores of Koh Samui. Unlike Phuket and most of Southern Thailand, Koh Samui experiences its rainy season for only a brief period of time in November, meaning you will find the oh so sought after sea, sun, and sand oh so inviting.
Combine Koh Samui with the city and mountains or just fly and flop, no matter your preference the team at A&K Thailand are ready to assist you.

As many of you may be aware, for the last 12 months your clients now arriving into Thailand have been receiving our traditional welcome package of information and travel tools in new silk pouches as opposed to the traditional printed packs. The creation of which has been driven through Abercrombie & Kent Southeast Asia and Abercrombie & Kent Myanmar in conjunction with the Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy project at the newly established Norfolk House Orphanage.
Burmese Community Textile Project background:
The Silk used by the Burmese Community Textile Project are sourced from local silk farms in the Chinn and Shan states. The harvested silk is then woven by the ethnic Chinn silk weavers from the Tahan and Sanmyo villages in the Northern Chin state. The final step for the welcome packs is to be assembled by former garment workers, the 50 workers who were once employed in the now defunct garment factories of Yangon hail from the Chin, Karen, Rakhine, Shan and Burmese tribes of Myanmar.
The Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy sponsored project lends support to over 130 families in Myanmar, supplying up to 70% of the families gross income, while proceeds from this project also support another A&K Philanthropy effort, the Norfolk House Orphanage, the orphanage was borne out of necessity following the devastation of Cyclone Nargis.
