TAT introduces ‘NFT BUAKAW 1 x Amazing Thailand Exclusive Collection’
Set to be released in early 2023, the collection features Muay Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek, picturesque Thai tourist attractions and travel discounts for use around Thailand.
BANGKOK – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) wants to introduce tourists to the new ‘NFT BUAKAW 1 x Amazing Thailand Exclusive Collection’ of digital art NFT items featuring legendary Muay Thai fighters Buakaw Banchamek.
MR. Nithee Seepraesaid the Deputy Governor for Digitalisation, Research and Development “This exciting new collection of unique Thai NFTs is another part of Thailand’s drive to use new technology and create a new ‘tourism ecosystem’ towards a more sustainable industry. It is believed that the NFTs will appeal to tourists with high purchasing power, and at the same time push the ‘travel to earn’ concept for tourists to visit Thailand.”
The introduction of ‘NFT BUAKAW 1 x Amazing Thailand Exclusive Collection’ follows the ‘Amazing Thailand NFTs’ initiative where tourists could collect NFTs at five major tourist attractions – China Town, Wat Arun, Giant Swing and Siam Square all in Bangkok – and the Old City in Samut Prakan.
The latest initiative, the NFT BUAKAW 1 x Amazing Thailand Exclusive Collection, combines Thailand’s ever-popular tourist attraction with the heritage and culture of Muay Thai. It is based on the BUAKAW 1 NFT collection of 2,000 generative digital artworks centered around Muay Thai fighter Buakaw, created and launched in May 2022 by Buakaw’s Banchamek Gym, SIX Network (Thailand) – a leading group company of blockchain and intermediary finance platforms, and Martech- the group company YDM (Thailand).
The NFT BUAKAW 1 x Amazing Thailand Exclusive Collection, due to launch in early 2023, features Muay Thai fighter Buakaw on a background that – thanks to a “travel fluid” feature – can be changed to show tourist attractions from 10 provinces across Thailand such as Chiang Mai , Chiang Rai, Sukhothai, Ranong and Chanthaburi.
There is also a “symmetric fluid” feature that enables other transformation and decoration of NFTs.
NFT BUAKAW 1 x Amazing Thailand Exclusive Collection will offer discounts on accommodation at over 50 hotels and resorts around Thailand, redeemable throughout 2023.
There will also be a ‘Friends Get Friends To Travel’ feature through the Buakaw Banchamek Facebook page, where NFT holders can invite friends to join the activity and win travel benefits.
