However, before embarking on your journey into the call of the wild, bear in mind the respite that specific national and forest parks are taking during these six days. The pause orchestrated for environmental rejuvenation and safety precautions deescalates the anthropogenic impact on these ecosystems. The list of these momentarily off-limit parks can be sought from this location.

Furthermore, in the light of this six-day holiday unfolding, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) prognosticates an upsurge in the revenue up to 1.66 billion baht, attributing to nearly 5 million ventures undertaken by native explorers.

An occupancy rate averaging at 63% is being anticipated by the hotels, as per the TAT’s forecast. Meanwhile, hotels situated in the eastern region could potentially witness a jump in their occupancy rate, touching 68%. The central and northeastern provinces, however, are predicted to be the hotbed of highest visitor influx, as outlined by the TAT.
