A Thai tourism official has proposed placing Pokestops at famous Thai tourist attractions in an attempt to attract young travelers. “Rare types of Pokemon will be placed at tourist destinations we want to promote to tourists,” Pongpanu Svetarundra of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports announced Monday. While on one hand I guess we should appreciate that someone is trying to think outside the box, it still doesn’t excuse the fact that this is yet another typical completely random thought put out to the public that doesn’t seem to have been given any sort of reality check.

According to Khaosod English, US actor Steven Seagal, best known for being featured in photographs of him shaking the hands of tailors throughout Thailand (as well as some films he apparently appeared in during the 1980's - so we've heard), has approached the Thai government about making two movies in Thailand that promote the country's "locations, cultures, arts and martial arts." National Reform Steering Assembly member, Alongkorn Pollabutr, told reporters, “Mr. Steven practices Buddhism, and he loves and respects His Majesty the King,” which apparently are the only requirements one nee -

Thais can afford to smile even more broadly when welcoming tourists this year _ the industry is booming. Thai smiles are as famous as our sea, sand and sun. The government has put in a tremendous effort to lure international tourists to the country in the hope we can earn even more income from tourism-related activities. We may have to thank Lost in Thailand, a Chinese movie hit which was shot in the northern part of the country including Chiang Mai. It is believed the film has helped significantly boost the number of Chinese tourists. This year, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has set

When it comes to the public image of the tourism industry in Thailand, you would think that anyone working in that sector would do their best to leave a good impression with tourists. After all, it is their future. No tourists coming to Thailand means no more work for them. When is a Tourist Office not a Tourist Office?

Is Thailand Stagnating to Death as a Tourist Destination?
admin posted a question in Thailand Tourism
Interesting article as Macau is now the #1 gambling destination in the world and Singapore is #2 (with Las Vegas being #3). Seeing the huge cash people are willing to spend now the amusement parks are lining up to build family oriented theme parks.

Thailand Tourism and the Truth - Stacey Dooley Investigates
admin posted a question in Thailand Tourism

As is all too common in these sappy documentaries, young Stacey comes to Thailand and thinks she can change the world in a week. Her first stop is the Ban Thai resort in Phuket where she claims that a room only costs 30 quid a night. Unfortunately the internet exists and we can check prices for ourselves and see that a basic room starts at 6,500 baht a night and suites go for 60,000 baht a night (with a 1500 baht surcharge on a
