Officially known as the Kingdom of Thailand, Thailand has a rich cultural and historical past that can be traced back to the first human settlements over 40,000 years ago. Known as Siam until 1939, the country has undergone remarkable development and is now valued for its culinary diversity and cultural influences. The competition was not only a musical event, but also a further step towards strengthening Thailand's cultural identity in the global music scene, as [Wikipedia] also describes.

In summary, the event not only provided a platform for the next generation of talent, but also celebrated the country's cultural heritage and gave music fans in Bangkok an unforgettable experience.
