Wazzup Pilipinas!
We can't get enough of pop icon Mario Maurer - the new celebrity ambassador of Thailand rides a Tuk-Tuk with Kajorndet Apichartrakul, the Tourism Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and Thanatip Upatising, the Thailand Ambassador, along with her spouse, Madame Monthip “Bee” Upatising, plus other key personalities during the grand launch of "Experience Thailand with Mario" mainly organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
The launch cum press conference gave Mario a chance to say, in his own words, why Thailand is worth being everyone's next go-to travel destination. Along with the Tourism Director, he also mentioned his top choices of doing while visit the amazing country of Thailand by enumerating some places to visit, foods to eat and services to try and 'experience."
He mentioned Bangkok and Chiang Mai as his top places to visit, riding a river boat while being massaged, and eating Thai delicacies, among a few more which you can watch more at our seven-part video coverage available at our YouTube channel at http://www.YouTube.com/user/wazzuppilipinas

When asked why Thailand chose Mario as the celebrity ambassador, the Tourism Director just said that we should just look at Mario and see for ourselves why. However, he hinted that it is mainly because Mario is widely recognized all over the world, especially in the Philippines, as witnessed from the jam-packed press conference where most of the attendees were young ladies all swooning in delight upon seeing Mario.
