Left: Brochure from the joint tourism
campaign between Cambodia and Thailand. A brief press release about
the campaign is here.
The Thai Tourism Authority
sent this to us. We have never seen this image on any official website
or any other forum or heard much more about the campaign. It may have
been created for use only during a German tourist convention in 2000.
There was initially a plan to have all
the nations in this region pool their tourism advertising, but only
Thailand and Cambodia ended up following
through. The image is a hint at what could be if the nations in
the region could recognize their common heritage and intertwined history.
UPDATE: October 17, 2002

it, but I did see the very same poster displayed two weeks ago in the
visitor's information office in Hong Kong, so I guess it's still an
active campaign.
