At Westfield Stratford in London, the public was recently invited to experience a massage event from Thailand's Chang Beer brand. The experiential event gave Londoners the chance to get a taste for Thailand through the art of massage.
The "massage in a bottle" experience was set up in such a way so that a semi-private massage station was partially concealed behind a two-meter replica of a Chang Beer bottle. This event was designed to bring awareness to the all-new green bottle design that's now being launched in the UK.
To further support this cause, Chang Beer gave out beer coasters celebrating the Land of Smiles. These mats featured comical images of lips that could be used as selfie props and entered into a social media contest for the chance to win a pair of return flights to Thailand.
