The steadiness of administrative and office positions is preferred above the glitz and glitter of the tourism industry by young job searchers, of whom between 490,000 and 510,000 have just graduated and are now joining the workforce. Greater Bangkok accounted for just over half of all job searches on JobThai.com, with the Eastern Economic Corridor coming in second with 15.8 percent, the Northeast coming in third with 12.4 percent, the North in fourth with 8.31 percent, Central Thailand in seventh with 7.76 percent, and the South in last place with 4.73 percent. Although there are no longer any travel restrictions and the country is once again fully operational, it will take some time before tourism levels recover to where they were before the pandemic. Before then, it’s unlikely that the economy would fully recover. A study of 2 million job applications on a well-known employment website revealed that 29.7% of…

Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health, stated that his department is organizing airport screening and concentrating on travelers from nations that are dealing with an outbreak of monkeypox. Monkeypox, according to Anutin, is not nearly as dangerous or contagious as the Covid-19 pandemic that the globe recently experienced, but it is still crucial to try to stop its further spread. However, the government is pushing for proactive measures to stop the spread as well as testing and reporting potential infections, and health authorities are stepping up their educational efforts. There are now two confirmed cases of monkeypox in Thailand. In the first, a 27-year-old Nigerian man was diagnosed on July 18 in Phuket and fled the nation by swimming into Cambodia, where he was apprehended in Phnom Penh. Although no infections have been discovered thus far, 138 tourists from Africa and 2389 travelers from Europe will have been screened…
When arranging their summer vacations abroad, Japanese, Malaysian, and Vietnamese travelers favor Thailand the most. Travelers are making the most of their vacation time and are eager to visit both domestic and foreign places in Asia, according to Omri Morgenshtern, CEO of Agoda. The majority of tourists from India book trips to Thailand, followed by those from Indonesia, Singapore, France, and Switzerland. The data used to compile the list currently comes from vacations that have already been booked, however back in March of this year, Thailand topped Agoda’s global list of most-searched destinations. Since travel restrictions have been loosened, there has been a worldwide increase in international travel this year, showing that individuals had been anticipating doing so for the past two years. Thai travel aficionados applauded Agoda for connecting its booking data with the Thailand Pass system, which made the paperwork and pre-arrival processes more smoother, before Thailand’s entry…
At a presentation, Phuket Provincial Administration Organization president Rewat Areerob praised the Rawai community’s support for the new attraction. The new landmark for Phuket is being built with aid from the island’s provincial administration in an effort to draw both Thai and foreign tourists. Rewat underlined that this kind of monument will be a popular destination for domestic travelers and that many Thais have not yet visited Phuket. A glass terrace on Surin Beach and a glass bridge in Rawai are two significant viewpoint-style attractions that are now being built in Phuket. According to the contract, the procedure will be finished before August and the design should be finished before the end of this year. The project will benefit the neighborhood and is currently being investigated and designed. Rewat gave attendees of the conference, which was hosted at the Sunsuri Hotel in Rawai, details about the bridge’s architecture. During a…
A Japanese passport offers hassle-free travel to 193 countries, one more than passports from Singapore and South Korea, according to Henley & Partners, an immigration consultant. However, as travel hasn’t entirely recovered from Covid restrictions, the index simply offers a speculative look of the most important documents to have while the world recovers from the pandemic. Out of 147 nations, 79 of which do not require visas, Thailand was ranked 70th. Malaysia ranked third among its immediate neighbors with only 47 visa-required countries, behind Cambodia (93rd), Laos (95th), and Myanmar (96th) (99th). As of 2017, the survey showed that Asian passports hardly ever made the list of the top 10 most popular passports globally. As Europe’s influence has eroded more and more, Germany is currently second to South Korea. 119 nations easily accept the 50th-ranked travel documents from Russia. China ranked 69th having access to 80 countries, followed by India…
The Bangkok Post interviewed foreign visitors to find out more about the reasons why so many people enjoy this city. She claimed that Bangkok is home to many great sites, particularly temples. Thailand is a popular tourist destination because of its wide range of beautiful attractions and cultural diversity, according to Ms. Jenifer. But she argued that it offers amazing experiences in a range of environments, such as temples, floating markets, pedestrianized streets, and a vibrant nightlife. She also likes to hang out at Bangkok’s Chinatown on Yaowarat Road. An Australian visitor named Julie Jenifer, 27, who lives close to Khao San Road, states that she has been to Phuket, Koh Samui, and Koh Chang in Trat, but that this is her first visit to Bangkok. Koh Samui is the most charming island, according to Ms. Jenifer, with stunning landmarks, beaches, and lavish services. I’ve visited a number of temples…
No exceptions would be made, it was revealed, and ALL foreigners entering Thailand would have to pay the 300 baht to the airlines. The measure was originally intended to exclude foreigners and persons with work permits who were already residing in Thailand earlier this year. The introduction of the new “tourist tax,” a 300 baht per person arrival levy to fund required insurance coverage, was confirmed last week by the Thai government. Amounting to 11.3 percent of the charge, “limited medical insurance coverage” for foreign visitors with a cap of 500,000 baht for 30 days following their arrival was to be provided as automatic and required insurance coverage. Additionally, the government disclosed last week that an additional 88.7 percent will go to a fund to be used for “international tourism infrastructure in the country,” but it did not specify what that would entail.Many foreigners expressed their displeasure with the new…
There are no exceptions, not even your diplomatic status or employment authorization. The plan would be implemented in Q4 of 2022 and take the form of a 300 Baht fee that would be added to your inbound airfare. The governor of Thailand’s Tourism Authority announced that a portion of the expense will “be used to take care of tourists” because there have been occasions where travelers’ health insurance has not covered them. Entry and exit fees, though historically charged in Thailand, really have a negligible long-term effect on the number of persons using the turnstiles. However, because of its “poor timing” and the fact that it will be used as a kind of required insurance for up to 30 days, the new entry fee is already generating headlines in Thailand. Is Thailand the only country in the world to impose a tourism tax at the moment? There are still a…
The TAT and the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand have joined forces to create the new Amazing Dark Sky Thailand program, which aims to entice tourists who enjoy gazing up at the night sky. An open space where the sky above could be observed without too much light pollution and where major celestial objects could be seen with the unassisted eye was required for a black sky conservation area. The locations are spread out over the kingdom’s five main geographic regions. The TAT governor characterized the initiatives as a cutting-edge tourist draw that will lure tourists to travel to various regions of the country. The selected dark sky conservation areas, according to NARIT’s implementing director, are locations with tourist services, but with wide open spaces and no artificial light pollution, permitting astronomical observation without the use of telescopes or other equipment. This is carried out in support of the…
Hope that affluent tourists may start to return to Thailand has been fuelled by the entrance of a few mega billionaires to Koh Samui and other tourist islands. Numerous costly luxury ships have approached the Samui shoreline, suggesting that the Covid-19 limitations may have now been partially eased. He owns more property in Moscow than nearly anyone else and is a staggeringly wealthy real estate entrepreneur. Most of his property is located in New Moscow, an area of Moscow that has seen rapid growth over the past ten years. After sailing his massive, 3.9 billion baht ship from Singapore to Koh Samui, he is currently on vacation. On July 1, the superyacht departed Singapore with 12 passengers and 6 staff members. Islanders who had noticed the enormous ship arriving were curious when Svetakov sailed the Cloudbreak superyacht across the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan, and Koh Tao. Millionaire…
