Integrated resort operator MGM recently hosted the “2025 Amazing Songkran in Macau” dinner at Vista in MGM Cotai, which gathered 200 guests from Thailand.
This year, Songkran was celebrated between April 13 and 15.
According to a recent statement from MGM, the company has been celebrating the festival with Thai guests since 2019. Thailand, the statement added, is one of the company’s important international target markets.
For the dinner, the statement said that MGM prepared traditional Thai boat noodles, seafood platters, and specially curated Sino-Thai fusion dishes, as well as a lucky draw session, all at a venue that featured festive Thai decorations. Thai actress and singer Rhatha Yaya Phongam was also invited by MGM to perform at the celebration
During her speech at the event, MGM Senior Vice President of Global Marketing Frederica Fok said: “MGM is committed to working with the Macau government to promote the city as an international travel destination. Last year, we saw a 15 percent increase in the number of Thai visitors to our properties. We have achieved this through the establishment of our Bangkok office, targeted marketing promotions, and a collaboration with the EM District [a large shopping complex in Bangkok] earlier this year, all of which have helped raise awareness of the MGM brand in Thailand.”
