The concept was inspired by Holiday Inn's popular chefs, and the fact that kids always eat and stay free. Families who have their photo taken with the giant boiled egg and share it with their social media networks could win a family holiday at Holiday Inn Resort Phuket. ( enlarge photo )

   To add to the celebrations, Holiday Inn donated 10,000 to her charity of choice, Queensland's Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.
