Reasons to visit the Bangkok International

Wine Fair

---

Here are some reasons why Thai and other mainland Southeast Asian buyers strongly support the debut of a Bangkok International Wine Fair:

1. More wine producers from around the world now understand the advantages of Bangkok’s central geographical location.

2. Thailand’s commercial and transportation infrastructure has continued to improve greatly in recent years.

3. Mass-transit systems have made Bangkok a much more convenient city for doing business.

4. Mass transit gives direct access to the BIWF venue (Royal Paragon Hall).

5. National sommelier contests, international wine seminars and high-profile tasting sessions have put Bangkok on the wine world map.

6. Wine and Thai cuisine make a uniquely healthy combination that is increasingly attractive to the international dining scene.

7. Bangkok is a bargain destination offering the cheapest high-end hotels and restaurants in Asia.

8. It is more pleasant to do business in a sophisticated and well-rounded ( not wholly business - oriented ) civic environment. With world-renowned beach resorts just 1-2 hours away, Bangkok offers the opportunity to combine business with a well-earned leisure break.

9. Shipping wine by land from the port of Bangkok to other destinations in Thailand or elsewhere in mainland Southeast Asia is cheaper than any of the alternatives.

10. Significant savings can be made in both time and money needed for attending international wine fairs.
