The recent political uncertainties witnessed in Thailand did not in any way deter the exuberance of the exhibitors in the 53rd Bangkok Fair as they did not leave any stones unturned to project and promote state of the art products and services. Though the buyer community was lean compared to previous years, a show of this magnitude at a time when the city is just waking up to a new post election dawn is truly commendable. When TNJ bureau team quizzed some of the participants, most of them showed solidarity and support to the show and vowed to come back in September to a much bigger extravaganza.
