Non-Thai citizens can now join the "One and Only" online contest, which involves filming themselves doing one of five activities - Muay Thai, traditional Thai dance, Thai cooking, making Thai-style garlands or speaking Thai - and uploading it to the Discover Thainess website. Three teams will be selected to win giant prizes, with a first prize worth B130,000 that includes a handmade model of a royal barge and a 4D3N stay in a Deluxe Suite at The Peninsula Bangkok. Voters can also win free stays at leading hotels. Another round of the contest, exclusively for Thais, will be held from May 1 to Jun 15.
