The Thailand Race, a competition for travelers and adventurers from Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways launched a challenge for adrenaline and travel lovers, to travel to Thailand between October 22nd and November 1st, 2016, and compete for the grand prize: a 2-person trip in Thailand, next year.
The competition is organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand in partnership with Qatar Airways, and offers Romanian and Bulgarian explorers the chance to live an incredible experience in one of the most appreciated exotic destinations in the world.
The Thailand Race is one of the most beautiful projects we had the opportunity to organize over the years, launched with the support of our partners, Qatar Airways. This competition represents more than a trip, it is a unique life experience and that’s why we encourage anyone to participate

They will compete against each other by following instructions to gain points and return to Bangkok. The team with the most points will win The Thailand Race, and the big prize – a trip in Thailand in 2017 – will go to the lucky participant.
