According to Mr. Chaiwatsirikul, over 11 million people are expected to witness the countdown through the various channels and feeds being set up around the world as well as at the event.
Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said, "The Amazing Thailand Countdown 2024 helps promote tourism in Thailand, puts Thailand on the world stage, and also helps generate long-term benefits for the economy, and we are pleased to be collaborating with ICONSIAM as well as other public and private sector organisations in a very broad-based initiative."
Among the other collaborating organisations are the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), The ICONSIAM Superlux Residence Corporation, Magnolia Quality Development Corporation, True Digital Group, Coca-Cola (Thailand), CardEx, Thailand Privilege Card, Toyota Motor Thailand, in addition to communities along the Chao Phraya River.
