The 19-year-old forward, Etuhu, and goalkeeper Sch-meichel impressed the kids, who had enrolled for the campaign, in their first football clinic.
The campaign will now move across the country in search of 130 talented boys for the camp at Impact Arena Muangthong Thani. The best 15 will be rewarded with a two-week trip to the club from April 21-30.
The chosen boys will also get a chance to watch City's match against Fulham.
"We are passionate about providing this opportunity in Thailand. The selected few will have a chance to sample soccer at the highest level.
"We believe the campaign will be popular in the country. With good cooperation from the Football Association of Thailand, we firmly believe it will become a regular event," said City spokesman Paul Tyrrell.
