THAILAND’S recent efforts to promote tourism have focused on offering special visas to foreigners interested in various aspects of soft power, among them learning Thai boxing, Thai culinary skills, and more.

Plans are underway to organise competitions for which participants will wear so-called Elephant Pants and traditional Phi Ta Khon ghost costumes.
