As a result of the pandemic, hotels in well-known tourist destinations including Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui, and Krabi started to offer offers and discounts to entice travelers. The only guests from outside Thailand would, however, have to pay more for their hotel rooms under the proposal. Nearby Thai residents will pay less. Rates that were reduced during COVID-19 will be kept the same for Thai nationals in order to preserve the momentum of domestic tourism. Justify your stance. Provide premium. More people purchase more expensive items. Louis Vuitton wouldn’t survive without sales. That is, if a proposal from the Thai Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism is accepted. The plan, according to a government spokeswoman, is to sustain our standards of prices and services for foreign visitors because this affects how people view the country’s tourism brand. Despite the stated intention of Thailand’s tourism officials to attract as many…
The creatures were hidden within the luggage of two women who were flying to Chennai, India. Many of those who do survive are purchased as “pets” by people without the means to care for them, and as a result, they endure great stress from being confined to an unnatural environment as well as starvation and loneliness. The incident happened on June 27. Transporting sensitive animals over long distances and decimating animal populations are all consequences of wildlife trafficking. The Suvarnabhumi wildlife checkpoint manager, Sathon Khong-ngern, claims that when BKK officers x-rayed the women’s luggage, they found live animals. Exotic animals used in wildlife trafficking are traumatically and painfully removed from their natural habitats. Baby pythons have been delivered within CD cases, newborn turtles have been taped inside their shells and packaged into tube socks, and parrots’ beaks and feet have been taped and the birds have been packed inside plastic…
The bordering nation has started a “My 2nd Home” program to promote foreign investment there. The program offers a “Golden Visa” with unlimited entry and exit, as well as additional perks, for ten years. The new 10-year visa from Cambodia seeks to rival that of Thailand. In 7 days, applicants will obtain their CM2H membership number; the visa application process takes 14 days. You Thai government officials had best pay attention! The Golden Visa is intended for foreign professionals, but wealthy retirees will also be taken into consideration if they match the necessary investment requirements, according to a Cambodian official. The “My 2nd Home” Golden Visa requires applicants to be foreign investors with a minimum investment of $100,000 in Cambodia, possess a “real estate project” in Cambodia, and be citizens of a nation recognized by the government of Cambodia. Both academic credentials and language ability are not necessary. A foreigner…
Both migrant workers with legal status and those without it will be able to extend their stay, which will extend their time in the country until February 13, 2025. By August 1, 2020, employees who already have a Thai work visa are eligible to apply for the long-term extension before February 13 of the following year. The strategy offers illegal workers a way to acquire some sort of legal standing. The decision was taken in order to address Thailand’s labor shortages, notably in the industrial and service sectors. The Thai Cabinet extended the permission of migrant workers from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam to remain in the nation until early 2025, giving them a reprieve for the following few years. Employers of these undocumented migrant workers must provide the Department of Employment with the identities of their employees, who then have 60 days to apply for work permits. The issue…
The government is working to increase Bangkok’s public green space inventory to a level that is acceptable on a worldwide scale, and one step in that direction is the building of Benjakitti Park. The 1.6 kilometer connection between Lumphini and Benjaketti will contain elevated park and walkway, designated bicycle lanes, and visitor rest spaces once it is finished, per its new plan and design. The public will gain greatly from the park once the development is finished. In the future, it might potentially serve as a location for important gatherings. The park draws about 3,000 visitors on weekdays and about 6,000 visitors per day on weekends, according to entrance data. The conference included discussions about expanding parking areas, extending the walkway along the road, and improving public transportation connectivity. In the Khlong Toei District of central Bangkok, next to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, lies a public park called…
The new electric buses are a part of the city’s aim to modernize its outmoded bus services and reduce Bangkok’s overall carbon footprint. The BMTA will increase the number of trips in order to reach 19,000 rides daily. It will pass through a number of key locations, such as the Queen Sirikit Convention Center and the brand-new Bang Sue Grand Station. The State Enterprise Policy Office and the cabinet must both approve the rehabilitation plan because the problem needs to be fixed right away. The new electric bus system would gradually lessen air pollution in the Thai capital’s vicinity while swiftly bridging any gaps in the commuters’ regularly scheduled services. The BMTA argues it does not have the money to replace its aging fleet of buses, but it will be able to cooperate with private companies to provide the new services in the city. The two-year contract, which will be…
The province’s governor, Narong Woonciew, announced on Wednesday that a tsunami evacuation rehearsal would be held on July 20 as a result of increasing local residents’ concerns following a series of underwater earthquakes close to the Nicobar Islands. He asserted that the National Disaster Warning Center conducts “strict surveillance of all aspects that may trigger earthquakes and tsunamis.” He declared that his business is prepared for a tsunami. Every Wednesday at eight in the morning, the national song was played to test the 19 warning towers that were scattered throughout Phuket. In order to be appropriately prepared, Mr. Udomporn stated that on July 20, a tsunami evacuation exercise would begin at 10am in Phuket’s Thalang region. According to Udomporn Kan, head of the Phuket disaster prevention and mitigation office, the July 3 sea waves surged onshore due to the strong southwest monsoon, excessive rainfall, and high sea tide. Fear was…
Focus will be placed on attracting top-notch tourists from niche markets including luxury, sport tourism, wellness, weddings, and honeymoons. Singapore will host the ITB Asia 2022 trade show from October 19–21. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is developing a strategy to lure travelers back from short-haul markets, primarily India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia, in order to generate momentum for the off-peak season. He asserted that new infrastructure in Thailand, such as Bang Sue Grand Station and the M6 road to Nakhon Ratchasima, as well as in adjacent countries like Laos, will facilitate arrivals from China and Southeast Asia. 28 operators reportedly profited 650 million baht from 6,895 transactions. India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia, which helped drive a sizeable share of arrivals once commercial flights started and admission restrictions were relaxed, are rising stars for Thai tourism, according to Mr. Thanet. He claims that the TAT plans to bring 40…
Flights and passengers at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport have climbed by an average of 10% since the Thailand Pass, which made entering Thailand more difficult, was eliminated. Deputy Government Spokesperson Traisulee Traisaranakul released the data today and stated that it was in line with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports’ forecasts for the month of July. The government is celebrating the recent increase in air travel by hosting an event at Suvarnabhumi Airport to introduce the “Thailand Moving Together” campaign. The government hailed the easing of travel restrictions, including the requirement to apply in advance for a Thailand Pass, as opening the floodgates to an influx of foreign tourists, forecasting 3,500 times as many arrivals in 2022’s first half as in the last six months. The major airport in Bangkok, which is by far the busiest in Thailand, saw an average of 130 flights every day, carrying between 23,000 and 24,000…
