Thailand and South Korea agreed to join a 50-day world culture expo in Bangkok to promote bilateral friendship and cooperation and publicize the historic cultures of the two nations

“Bangkok - Gyeongju World Culture Expo 2010” will be held from November to December 2010 at Sanam Luang, National Museum, National Theater, Thammasat University Main Auditorium, and Silpakorn University Arts Center.

The reason for choosing Bangkok is that it is the hub for international communication in Southeast Asia. The objective is to promote and exchange international arts and culture of both countries and to value society and the economy. Moreover, it is to promote good understanding and relations between Thailand and South Korea at the bilateral and regional level.

The activities of the event aim at supporting the good image of cultural tourism in both countries such as original arts and dance, international art festivals, cultural exhibitions, concerts, film festivals, film animation, tourism public relations programs, and handicraft sales and exhibition.
