On 29th May, 2004, at the Grand Hall, in the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel, S.P. Publishing Group Co., Ltd. welcomed honored guests and clients to a “Thank You Party and 10th Anniversary Celebration”. S.P. Publishing hosted the party to express thanks to the many businesses and organizations which have advertised in and supported their magazines over the years. At the same time, it was an occassion to mark and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the company.

The ceremony that night was presided over by Dr. Chao Duangduen Na Chiang Mai, President of Chiang Mai Cultural Commission and Mr. Chalermsak Suranant, Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Northern Office Region 1.

The “Thank You Party and 10th Anniversary Celebration” also featured many interesting activities. Just outside the main ballroom, there was an exhibition entitled “SUCCESS Celebration” which detailed the company’s profile and underlined its accomplishments over the past 10 years. In addition, clients who had given their continual support through advertising in the magazines since the very first issues were rewarded with presents of air tickets and package tours (Chiang Mai – Luang Prabang / 2 days and 3 nights).

S.P. Publishing Group are delighted to have received the cooperation of the Chiang Mai Ballet Academy which performed a modern dance stage performance during the introduction of the company’s executives and staff. The show also featured easy-listening music played by the Sabai Sabai band, an arousing cabaret show performed by Simon Cabaret and an elegant Flamenco Dance. To conclude the party, all guests were invited to participate in a series of Bingo games. Several lucky guests won prizes such as: a diamond ring; a VDO Sony Handy Cam; 2 return air tickets from Chiang Mai – Luang Prabang with accommodation at Villa Santi Resort; and return air tickets from Chiang Mai – Xian for 2 persons.
