Patients with mild to moderate Covid symptoms could remain in hotels. Hotels that relied on Chinese tourists for revenue faced the brunt of the fallout. Staff shortages are another issue as the hotel business tries to get back on its feet, as many experienced workers have departed. They assisted in relieving the burden on the kingdom’s hospitals during the peak of the coronavirus outbreak. As Covid-19 is scheduled to be declared endemic next month, hotels and alternate quarantine areas have resumed normal operations. The service, according to Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun, vice-president of the Thai Hotels Association, is no longer available. Following the May 1 relaxation of several Covid requirements, the number of people requiring AQ housing at Suvarnabhumi Airport decreased to around 30 per day, down from 600-700 per day in the second half of 2021. During the final months of the AQ program, 128 Thai businesses chose to use alternative…

According to a Nation Thailand study, Phuket welcomed 150,596 guests over the weekend of May 13–16, generating 1.82 billion baht in tourism earnings. During such long holidays, the province’s occupancy rate was 44.46 percent. The Thai government is praising itself for easing entry restrictions, which authorities claim has increased tourism in regions like Phuket and Koh Samui. All of this is down to the government’s decision to relax travel restrictions during the country’s peak season, which runs from March to May. According to Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, a government spokeswoman, up to 10,000 foreign visitors enter the nation each day, albeit the days of large tour groups are past — at least for now. He predicts that occupancy rates would rise to 60 to 80 percent, especially in popular areas like Patong Beach and Phuket Old Town. The prime minister also urged Thais to maintain a positive tourism image in order to…
The mayor of Koh Samui, Chayapon Intharasupa, said he received information that four Thai visitors were about to drown at Chawaeng Beach. All of them were rescued by local jet ski riders and rescue personnel. Three women and one male were admitted to the hospital in total.

One of the passengers drowned, but the remaining four were saved. According to staff at a jet ski rental company on the beach, one foreigner was also rescued not…
The lack of direct flights is the most significant impediment to Australians visiting the Land of Smiles. Following Thailand’s massive efforts to entice Saudi tourists to the nation, the tourism industry in Phuket is anticipating a surge in Saudi visitors. It also hopes to attract more Australian visitors, who have long been a mainstay of the island’s tourism industry. Australia is currently the second largest market for Phuket, according to Suladda Sarutilavan, director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Sydney office. Last month, Indians were reported to be Phuket’s largest group of visitors, a trend that has been expanding since the start of the year and the reintroduction of daily flights from major Indian cities. There are now only direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Phuket and Bangkok. According to Suladda, TAT encouraged Thai Airways to begin direct flights from Perth, where demand for flights to Phuket is high.…

Drug users and sellers communicate often via email, social media, and LINE, a popular Thai messaging app, according to officials. They further stated that narcotics packages arriving in Phuket are commonly disguised in coastal areas like as mangrove woodlands and fish cages. They also indicated that in order to monitor drug routes by land and sea, increased collaboration between the government and related networks is essential. Officials believe that in order to prevent drug smuggling into Phuket, airlines must be more careful. The panel did, however, talk on how important it is for drug users to get the help they need. If Somsak’s and Phuket officials’ efforts to curb drug usage are successful, only time will tell. Officials said that more rigorous searches are needed in these areas. Officials in Phuket are ready for an increase in illegal drug demand now that Thailand’s travel restrictions are relaxing. The most often…
According to a story in Nation Thailand, spokeswoman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana claims that the government’s decision to cancel Test & Go has resurrected the tourism business, with over 20,000 international visits per day today. The now-defunct Test & Go program required international visitors to undergo a PCR test upon arrival and stay in quarantine at a pre-arranged accommodation until their results were negative. If this trend continues, Thanakorn estimates that Thailand will receive roughly 500,000 visitors per month during the low season of May to September, with the majority coming from the short-haul sector. This number is likely to quadruple during the peak season, which runs from October through December, as travelers from Europe and the United States avoid the cold. The Thai administration has denied that it is neglecting the country’s tourism crisis, as claimed by the opposition. He goes on to say that once Chinese tourists resume travel, the…
