This announcement comes less than two weeks after the triumphal return of Russian airlines to the island.

Koh Samui was visited by Viking Cruises as part of their Secrets of Southeast Asia itinerary. Sunday’s port call allowed more than 600 passengers to disembark and enjoy the Thai island location. Nathon Pier, located on the western side of Koh Samui, greeted the big ship with a warm welcome when it docked. Alongside the district chief officer Chayaphol Intarasupha, tourism sector officials were present to meet and greet travelers as they disembarked to begin exploring the island.

As part of the yearly simian celebration that takes place in the central area of Thailand, on the last day of November, the monkeys of Lopburi were fed a feast fit for the Monkey King. The palace of King Narai and the Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat are both located in Lopburi, one of Thailand’s oldest cities. A vacation to Lopburi is frequently a good option to deviate from the standard tourist route through Thailand’s cities. In the vicinity of the crumbling Phra Prang Sam Yod, commonly known as the monkey temple, which is located in the city center, there are roughly 4,500 crab-eating macaques. Today, macaques are causing a fuss as they cluster around the shrine. Although they are frequently antagonistic, there is a sense of reserve as they wait for the buffet warfare to commence. As the feast is taken to the temple, they begin to pounce, and…

The global epidemic caused by COVID-19 led to the closure of borders and the end of tourism in a great number of vital places. In a short amount of time, Khao San Road, which was once a vibrant and bustling backpacker refuge in Bangkok, Thailand’s capital city, turned into a dismal ghost town. Now that all of the pandemic restrictions have been gone, the government is continually reporting an influx of international tourists that are helping to bring Thailand back to life. But merchants on Khao San Road claim that despite the fact that all limitations imposed by Covid have been abolished, they are not witnessing the increase in the number of tourists that was anticipated. When the limits began to be implemented, it was a devastating blow to the well-known tourist district. The authorities did all in their power to prevent poorly ventilated, crowded establishments from continuing to operate…

According to the National Institute of Development Administration, managers would like the taxpayers to foot the bill for their professional development opportunities. It is possible to say that tourism is the single most important factor driving Thailand’s economy. Employers who are in a financial position are able to claim that they want to increase their employees by approximately 10 percent. According to Piriya Pholphirul, who works in the institute’s center of development economics research, “Tourism started picking up steam after the rules for Covid-19 were loosened in the second half of the year.” Even now, much over half of all tour companies have a smaller workforce than they did before the pandemic. Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that seven percent of business owners want to lay off employees as a direct result of their declining profitability and the increased pressure from staff members for fair pay. More than…

With 230,000 joyful tourists besieging beaches, temples, and the ever-popular red-light districts around the country, Russia ranks just 13th this year in terms of Thailand’s source markets. Thailand is a popular tourist destination. On the other hand, this month has seen a considerable rise in arrivals thanks to Aeroflot aircraft departing from Novosibirsk as well as chartered flights. The majority of chartered flights from Russia travel to Pattaya and Phuket as their final destinations. ATTA’s Adith Chairattananon reported that there has been an increase in the number of queries from Russian travel agents regarding vacation packages to Thailand. This has jolted cash-strapped tour operators back into action sooner than was originally anticipated. “There are relatively few Thai operators that specialize in the Russian sector — most of the players are native Russians,” Adith added, bemoaning the independent thinking of Russian visitors who were arriving in Thailand. Mainly due to the…

The Udon Thani office of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is in charge of organizing the route. The provinces of Udon Thani, Nong Khai, and Bueng Kan all feature religious destinations that can be visited by travelers along this route.

The Genting Dream, a vessel operated by Resorts World Cruises, arrived in the early morning hours. The ship is now on a five-day cruise that began in Singapore and included stops in Penang, Malaysia, and Phuket, Thailand, so it is evident that the passengers are aware of what to expect on their journey.
