A favourite tourist destination it certainly is, but Thailand has gone all out to make every girl book a ticket to the country— to partake in some merrymaking and women-centric celebrations in honour of the 84th birthday of their queen

On the occasion of their queen’s 84th birthday, the country is extending its celebrations to all women—and providing unmissable opportunities to make the most of the festivities.
