Asia's Best Lifestyle Design Event in Bangkok, Thailand

BANGKOK, September 2, 2010 - The Bangkok International Gift Fair and Bangkok International Houseware
Fair (BIG+BIH), the region's favorite duo design event, will be held for the
30th time at the design hub of Asia, under the theme Soul and Style of the
Orient, which will highlight Oriental essence with a twist.

Organized by the Department of Export Promotion, in conjunction with Thai
Lifestyle Product Federation, BIG+BIH fairs have become the main stage to
showcase the niches of the Thai lifestyle product industry, which are design,
quality, and business integrity, to the world. The fairs are known as the
milestone marker of the industry.

The consistent success of BIG+BIH is the result of the cooperation
between both private and public sectors with the aim to boost the export of
lifestyle products from Thailand. The event in October is expected to
generate over US$2.6 billion revenue for the industry.

This October event will stage the contemporary impression of Eastern
characters, delicate craftsmanship, exotic materials, and lasting quality
that meets international standards and is environmentally friendly.
Highlighted products are gifts, premiums, home decorative, artificial flowers
and plants, handicrafts, household items, spa products, home textiles, toys &
games, stationery, and other design objects.

In addition to experiencing the unique products and fresh ideas at
BIG+BIH fairs, the multinational visionary buyers are invited to enjoy the
exclusive privileges from the moment they land at the Bangkok international
airport. Offered and sponsored by the supporters of the BIG+BIH fairs, buyers
can enjoy a long list of perks on accommodation, dining, and recreation
facilities.

BIG+BIH October 2010 will be held at the Bangkok International Trade and
Exhibition Center (BITEC) which is situated in a short driving distance from
Suvarnabhumi airport. Traders are welcome to the event for business
negotiations during 19-22 October between 10am and 6pm. The event is open to
