This year the organisers in Thailand changed date for their competition. 4 times in a row it took place begin of August. This is a very busy time: lots of training camps, preparation camps for coming events. Everybody is planning for the biggest event, the German Open. So it was decided to hold the comp on the 1st weekend in Sept. And it proved to be right.

The Thailand DanceSport Federation and especially Sittichai Prayadara did all their efforts and are  pleased to welcome many couples out of 30 nations, a steadily increasing number. Everybody appreciates the great hospitality, the special atmosphere in the venue, and last but not least the high amount of price money.

Couples as well as adjudicators received a very warm welcome and enjoyed the get together dinner on the meanwhile traditional boat trip. Sightseeing during the day gave another holiday feeling.

Day 1 saw besides different categories the WDSF World Open Standard. More than 50 couples entered and saw these results.
