A panel of judges will select six candidates and four runners-up out of these 30 participants to take part in a special trip.

The first one will cover Phrae and Nan in Northern Thailand and is scheduled for between the last week of January 2020 to the first week of February 2020; and the second one will cover Phatthalung and Songkhla in Southern Thailand between the last week of June 2020 to the first week of July 2020.
