How world leaders turned super-influencers for Thai tourism at Apec

How world leaders turned super-influencers for Thai tourism at Apec

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2022

World leaders in Bangkok last week for the Apec summit probably did more for Thailand’s tourism industry than all the world’s travel bloggers combined.

France’s Emmanuel Macron, Singapore’s Lee Hsien Loong, and America’s Kamala Harris are super-influencers with tens of millions of social media followers – all of whom were introduced to what Thailand has to offer.

Singapore’s No 1 influencer, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, posted photos of the Thai specialities served to leaders at Thursday’s Apec gala dinner. The star of the show was the starter dubbed “Welcome to Thailand” – dishes from all four regions presented on a map of the Kingdom.

“A beautifully presented appetiser that creatively incorporated the Apec 2022 Thailand logo and the host country!” enthused Lee, as his army of followers salivated over photos of Lanna crispy khao rice noodles, Ayutthaya tom yum river prawn croquettes, Isaan charcoal-grilled Wagyu with spicy dipping sauce, and Betong-style marinated grilled chicken.

Lee also snapped pics of the evening’s gala performances for his followers, remarking “the cultural show was an interesting blend of traditional and modern Thai song, music and dance”.

Meanwhile, US Vice President Kamala Harris made time in her busy schedule to showcase Thailand’s spiritual side with a visit to meet the Supreme Patriarch at Wat Ratchabophit on Saturday.

Having done the temple, she went shopping on Sunday at Or Tor Kor Market in Chatuchak, where her 17.1 million Instagram followers watched her snapping up red and green curry pastes, dried kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, tamarind sauce and galangal before she jetted back to the US with the ingredients.

French President Emmanuel Macron appeared to take his responsibilities as an Apec travel blogger even more seriously, visiting Chinatown on Yaowarat Road, Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium, the Jim Thompson House Museum and Wat Phra Chettuphon.

His 8.9 million Twitter followers followed him every step of the way, as Macron offered a guided tour through Bangkok’s cultural highlights.

Elsewhere, the traditional Thai massage offered at the Labour Ministry booth in the Apec venue was a big hit with delegations from Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea and China.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha hailed the Apec leaders’ Thailand showcase as a boost for Thai tourism just in time for the high season. The country has welcomed 7.6 million foreign visitors so far this year, with the Tourism Authority of Thailand expecting that figure to rise to 10 million by year-end.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2022

Baignoire Allongée MM Cortina Watch Golden Jubilee Edition, designed by Cartier, honours the relationship and shared values of these two companies. This watch, available in only 10 pieces, features a “50” exploded Arabic numeral instead of “5” in burgundy as well as rose-gold sword shaped hands.

Cortina Watch, one of Singapore’s top brands in the watch retail sector, will unveil a series of limited-edition commemorative watches in conjunction with some of the industry’s most recognized watchmakers to commemorate its golden jubilee in 2022. On November 4th, Cartier will unveil a special 10-piece limited-edition Baignoire Allongée to celebrate the watch retailer’s golden jubilee.

Since the mid-19th century, Cartier has been at the forefront of creativity and innovation, and in many instances, a trailblazer in the world of jewellery and watchmaking. Through a local agent, Cortina Watch began selling Cartier’s creations in the late 1970s, where its jewellery timepieces were very sought after. From the debut of Jewellery Time, Cortina Watch’s flagship high jewellery watchmaking exhibition in 2000, Cartier has been a frequent collaborator of the event.  Mr Jeremy Lim, CEO of Cortina Watch, says, “Cartier is one of the most iconic watchmaking and jewellery houses in the world, and it has been a genuine privilege to have been a part of their illustrious history, and to have shared such a close partnership throughout our years in the industry. Cortina Watch is thrilled to present the special edition timepiece that Cartier has created for this monumental year, and we look forward to stepping into the future with Cartier and continue to reach milestones together, especially with the upcoming collaboration at our updated retail space.”

Cécile Naour, CEO of Cartier Southeast Asia & Oceania, congratulated Cortina Watch on this milestone – “Cartier has journeyed with Cortina Watch for a few decades, with many amazing achievements. From collaborating on the Jewellery Time series launched in 2000, expanding our luxury retail watchmaking presence in Singapore, pioneering a partnership in Malaysia, to developing a professional watch-passionate team. In another milestone, Cortina Watch Raffles City will soon be welcoming clients in a renovated Cartier retail environment. Here’s to a memorable 50th anniversary, Cortina Watch, and to many more years of success.”


Baignoire Allongée MM Cortina Watch Golden Jubilee Edition

The evocatively named Baignoire is a cult Cartier object. The story begins in 1912, when Louis Cartier took the traditional round watch shape and elongated it. His stylistic research culminated in two straight, parallel lines joined by two curves, which formed the shape of a bathtub (baignoire in French) – hence its name.

The 1960s marked a second highlight in the history of the Baignoire watch. Swaying to the beat of “Swinging London”, the Baignoire Allongée saw the light of day in the workshops of Cartier London. The Baignoire Allongée was an oversized watch that stretched across women’s wrists, combining excessive chic with supreme simplicity. This definitive watch exudes style and character while hugging the contours of the wrist.

In 2019, the Maison relaunched the Baignoire and Baignoire Allongée. Like a fixation, the Baignoire watch brings forth new desires, such as the yearning to give its exuberant elegance texture and relief. Adding substance and texture to this extraordinary elegance, as daring design creates an extravagant bezel.

For the 50th anniversary of Cortina Watch, Cartier has created an exclusive edition of the emblematic Baignoire Allongée. The case is crafted in pink gold, with matching sword-shaped hands and ardillon buckle. On the opaline dial are brown Arabic numerals with ‘50’ highlighted in red, in place of ‘5’. The bezel and crown are set with diamonds, and on the back case is an engraving of the words “Cortina Watch Golden Jubilee”, marking this joyous occasion.

Prof. Dr. Tavida Kamolvej, Deputy Governor of Bangkok (third from right), and a delegation from Organon (Thailand) led by Mr. Koen C. Kruijtbosch, Managing Director of Organon (Thailand) Ltd. (third from left), attended the event to honor all parties for the Her Promise, Our Purpose campaign.

Organon (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a leading pharmaceutical company for women’s health, today continued its commitment to empower women globally with the launch of a new artwork as part of the “Her Promise, Our Purpose” campaign. The campaign, held in countries such as the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Brazil, and now Thailand, commissions murals in each market to reflect the unique perspectives of its local artist, unified by the common goal of addressing the unfulfilled health needs of women around the world.

The mural was designed and painted by the well known female artist of Thai descent Ms. Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, as well as U.S. Ambassador Robert F. Godec; Bangkok Governor Dr. Chadchart Sittipunt; Ms. Siriporn Rathee from UN Women; Ms. Patima Hirisajja from Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health, and Mr. Koen C. Kruijtbosch, Managing Director of Organon (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Students from Suan Lumphini School and the BMA Governor’s son Mr. Sanpiti Sittipunt also participated in its creation.

“We are Tomorrow” is a mural project under Organon’s campaign Her Promise, Our Purpose, which aims to inspire women around the world through collaborations with local artists through paintings on the walls.

Mr. Koen C. Kruijtbosch, Managing Director of Organon (Thailand) Co. Ltd., said, “Paintings are a powerful medium for raising awareness and driving social change. We want to create more awareness regarding women’s health issues and promote cooperation across many sectors, particularly for access to birth control and family planning. Women should have the choice to make an informed decision about their “planned pregnancy” to reduce “unintended pregnancies,” which is a great concern in society. Organon is committed to working with all sectors to support access to contraception, as well as sharing useful knowledge and information to 100 million women in low-to-middle-income countries – encompassing more than 70 countries around the world by 2030. If this can be achieved, we can prevent 120 million unintended pregnancies, 2.1 million infant deaths, and over 250,000 deaths from pregnancy.”

Ms. Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya shared that “This artwork depicts brave women and LGBTQ communities, looking at the horizon with bright, sparkling eyes. They are creating a new space, an avenue to work for a brighter future together, amidst blossoming flowers and a clear sky full of hope. This mural was inspired by conversations with artists, women, and LGBT youth, who discussed the meaning of perseverance for independent authority, changes, safety, knowledge, respect, and social involvement. These are what we want for Thai women. This mural conveys this vision for Thai society, which everyone can appreciate and support.”

New 5G MPN services can help retailers, manufacturers and logistics players improve supply chain automation

dtac business launched a 5G Mobile Private Network (5G MPN) today with an aim to transform supply chains for Thai businesses, including those in the retail, manufacturing and logistics industries as they transition into “Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0—also known as the Smart Factory—refers to the incorporation of advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning (ML), cloud and edge computing, smart sensors, and more into industrial production processes.  5G MPN is the glue that connects all devices that contribute to supply chain automation operated by real-time big data processing.

dtac business’ 5G MPN is ready to support businesses in their digital transformation and drive efficiency in their operations. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the 5G MPN is equipped with three core solutions at the edge: IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and ML. The 5G MPN is a dedicated 5G core system using a private 5G core designed for optimized integration with edge computing using dtac’s 26GHz spectrum on 5G connectivity, along with local core systems for data processing. This combination offers high reliability, low latency, and superior security.

Sadat Ibne Zaman, Chief Business Officer, Total Access Communication PLC or dtac, said, “The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed Thai retailers and logistics industries. 5G MPN can help businesses realize the efficiencies and cost savings of Industry 4.0 by helping warehouses and distribution centers quickly adapt to changes. With the scalability and flexibility of cloud computing solutions, we can easily enable our customers to adopt advanced technologies, such as IoT and automation with robotics, to meet digital transformation demands and boost Thai businesses’ competitive advantage.”

Dtac business Launches a 5G Mobile Private Network Built on AWS to Drive Digital Transformation for Thai Businesses

dtac business used AWS, the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, to design and offer three digital solutions for the Thai market:

Robotics Automation – a solution to automate warehouse and distribution facilities with robots handling the goods connected to 5G MPN. The automated warehouse and distribution facilities can significantly improve efficiency and accuracy while minimizing injury risks for human workers.

Predictive Maintenance – this solution features machine learning connected to 5G MPN to detect errors in warehousing and distribution equipment, as well as providing predictive maintenance for the entire process. The solution uses Monitron sensors connected to 5G MPN in a Massive IoT configuration to monitor the vibration and/ or temperature of the equipment. Data from all connected equipment is centrally processed at a control center using machine learning that can alert operators in case of any errors for preventative maintenance to prevent unwanted downtime.

Video Analytics – smart video cameras connected to 5G MPN can assist in warehousing management in various applications, such as intrusion detection, which are especially beneficial for high-value assets. Real-time monitoring can enhance security and minimize incidents and loss.  AWS provides the 5G edge infrastructure for independent software vendors to run their video analytics software.

Vatsun Thirapatarapong, Country Manager, Thailand, AWS, said, “Digital transformation and Industry 4.0, powered by private 5G, can aid businesses in boosting their competitive advantages and economic recovery efforts. With the Thai economy predicted to fully recover from the pandemic, there may be an opportunity for businesses to double down on digitalization and boost their competitive advantage.  Powered by AWS, dtac business is building secure and scalable software-driven networks that can enable businesses to simplify operations, and reinvent the customer experience to accelerate innovation that can unlock economic growth.”
