As the year comes to a close and the weather begins to cool, tourism in Thailand is once again bustling, fueled by the trend of 'easy and nearby travel' that has gained popularity among urban dwellers and working professionals. Many are opting for short trips to recharge and create balance in their lives. Coupled with government initiatives to promote tourism and creative activities from the private sector aimed at stimulating the economy, the final stretch of 2025 is truly a golden period for Thailand's tourism industry.

Another noteworthy event is the 'MRT JOURNEY OF HAPPINESS 2025: Travel with Joy... via MRT', a grand tourism festival taking place in the 'heart of the MRT station', organized in collaboration with Bangkok Metro Networks Co., Ltd. (BMN) and Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited (BEM), along with leading tourism partners across Thailand, such as Thai Tourism Business Association (TTBA), GO Hotel, and Bangkok Airways. This event aims to transform the Metro Mall area at the MRT Chatuchak Station into a new destination for travelers, running from October 30 to November 2, 2025, promoting the concept of 'Travel - Live - Explore' all in one place.

The atmosphere of the event is vibrant, filled with diverse crowds shopping for travel packages and experiencing joy in the city center. This event brings together tourism partners from across the country, including airlines, leading hotel and resort chains, as well as local entrepreneurs and OTOP product manufacturers from all regions. Attendees can book special travel packages starting at just 499 baht, along with Golden Hours promotions offering limited-time hotel deals and the 'Shop and Win Big' activity, where spending 1,000 baht at the event or Metro Mall shops grants a chance to win round-trip flight tickets and free accommodation, along with many other prizes.

In addition to the great travel deals, the event is filled with colorful performances from famous artists, led by two actresses 'Palm Paramee' and 'Friend Torfan' from the trending series 'Love Design', along with beloved entertainer 'Jack Chalermpol', who shares travel experiences. The event concludes with a special fashion show titled 'Thai Fabric Bonds, Forever in Our Hearts', showcasing traditional Thai attire and royal costumes by honorary models to express loyalty and gratitude to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother.

Dr. Araya Panurach, Managing Director of Bangkok Metro Networks Co., Ltd. (BMN), shared the concept behind this event, stating, "We believe that traveling is not just about moving from one point to another, but about living and creating new experiences simultaneously. The MRT JOURNEY OF HAPPINESS 2025 is a space of inspiration for MRT passengers and urban residents looking to enrich their lives every day. BMN aims to enhance the areas within the MRT system to cater to work, relaxation, and travel, aligning with our goal of making MRT a hub for positive experiences for city dwellers. We thank our tourism partners from both the public and private sectors for collaborating to make this event happen, helping to drive the economy at year-end and bring smiles to the public during a time when everyone seeks positivity and happiness."

Just one day after its opening, 'MRT JOURNEY OF HAPPINESS 2025' has become a highly anticipated event, especially among young tourists who are sharing lively images from the event. The travel package zone has attracted those looking for affordable getaway trips, alongside numerous community product booths and local souvenirs.
