From previous year in Phuket

TSG-2006
The 5th TSG came to a fantastic close in Phuket with the participants and supporters from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and, not forgetting, the host country Thailand, parting with heavy hearts. Phuket Pride took up  the challenge to host TSG2007 with the vision of bringing the games to greater heights, anticipating interests from other Asian and Asia Pacific countries. The Thailand organizers and volunteers not only charmed our hearts but have proven their mettle in getting the games and events organized with great pomp and splendour, in a way only Thailand can!
