Chiang Mai: 17 Nov 10, Kantary Hills Hotel Chiang Mai's general manager Magarin Promyothi, also the manager of Kantary Terrace said, "Kantary Hills Hotel Chiang Mai, one of the hotels of the Kantary Collection, has been in its operation for almost three years on Nimmanhaemin Road, one of the best-known locations among the tourists and the folk of Chiang Mai, especially among teenagers and the new generation. This is Chiang Mai's most trendy road of art and fashion where people visit to appreciate the art and fashions displayed in the shops along this road. In order to serve this demand, we decided to invest in a 7,000sqm plot of land adjacent to Kantary HiIls Hotel and built a community mall called 'Kantary Terrace', consisting of food shops, fashion wear, and designs. It is planned to be opened this December".
Miss Tirawan Pangsrivongse, Project Development Manager, one of the executives of the Kantary Collectoion, added, "As the opening celebration of this project, we have decided to organize the festival under the concept 'Creative New Experience of Arts using the slogan 'Dress Chic To Be Seen'.
There will be local traditional music bands and local traditional 'Lanna'
artist groups in the show, street shops displaying unique handicrafts by new generation artists, as well as many other sorts of arts on display. This is to enhance the experience for Chiang Mai's visitors during the four-day long weekend. The festival is separated into four zones; Zone 'C' is the zone for 'Creative or Creativity" displaying all kinds of handmade collections; Zone 'N' is the zone for 'New' or 'Neo Lifestyle' displaying new lifestyles of Chiang Mai; Zone 'X' is the zone for 'Experience' displaying activities related to new experiences; and Zone'@' is the zone for all kinds of art including music, plays, photos, paintings, etc. I believe everyone coming to this event will surely take new ideas and experiences back home"
Miss Tirawan further commented that besides the chic ideas of variety of goods, there would also be shows and theatre such as Tableau Vivant, Nimman's Lomo Photo Display, Indy music by Chiang Mai artists, and corners for photo opportunities, and much more
This festival will run during 3 - 6 December, a long weekend suitable for tourism. So we hope this will draw a lot of attention from tourists and the people of Chiang Mai which is one of our objectives to organize this event, i.e., to help publicize and promote the Chiang Mai tourist industry, as well as to give an opportunity for a new generation of artists and the makers of handmade local goods. We hope this event will be well accepted also hope to hold this event again next year",* Mr. Magarin concluded.
