10 Days in Thailand 
10 Days in Thailand
   Â
Glentoran and Tourism Authority of
Thailand are both delighted that Northern Ireland's football champions
will tour Thailand in June 2010.
Glentoran has received a major
invitation to play three games in Thailand. The games will include a
match with the Thai National team currently managed by Peter Reid,
former Manchester City and England, and two local teams from the
domestic league.
The tour will take place in Thailand over ten
days in early June 2010 with the precise dates to be confirmed shortly.
This
is the first time an Irish football team has visited Thailand although
many English Premiership teams pay regular visits.
We have no
doubt that this will capture the imagination of our supporters as it
feels like “three away games in paradiseâ, and official travel packages
are being specially prepared for them which will qualify them
exclusively to attend the final Gala Celebration Dinner.
Glens
Chairman Aubry Ralph remarked "This is a wonderful opportunity for
Glentoran and our supporters. To have a unique experience travelling
with the new Irish Premier Champions in a magnificent country for
tourism is without precedent and we are absolutely delighted at the
opportunity."
Thailand’s Ambassador to the UK and Ireland, His
Excellency Kitti Wasinondh, expressed his appreciation that the planning
of this exciting tour has materialized and he hoped that this would be
the first of many successful ventures together. He was certain that the
Thais would definitely look forward to receiving the team as well as
watching these great matches.Â
