From left to right: Mr. Jongmin Kim, Regional Manager (Thailand, Laos, Pakistan, Nepal), Korean Air, Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, and Mr Akinori Yokosawa, Manager of International Specialty Sales of Delta Air Lines 50 agents from around America participating in a nine-day trip from 1-9 November, 2022, to see Thailand’s new tourism offerings with visits to Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. TAT Newsroom The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is organising the ‘Feel Thailand with Delta Air Lines and Korean Air’ one-of-a-kind mega fam trip for US travel agents from 1-9 November, 2022, to drive demand for meaningful travel experiences in Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket and promote accessibility for tourists from across the US. Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, said “As the winter season begins in countries like the US, now is the perfect time to rediscover the wonders of Thailand. And now that Thailand is fully open to travellers, we want to showcase the new and perennial offerings of our country that serve to create a truly unforgettable holiday. This trip also forms part of our plans to stimulate travel from across all 50 US states to Thailand, and ultimately helping us reach a tourism revenue target of 1.5 trillion Baht in 2023 from international market.” TAT’s ‘Feel Thailand with Delta Air Lines and Korean Air’ mega fam trip brings together 50 travel agents from around the US to experience Thailand’s new tourism offerings. The nine-day trip includes meaningful travel programmes in Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. The itinerary places emphasis on providing the travel agents the chance to discover the latest tourism products, learn about sustainable and responsible tourism practices, and meet with Thai sellers in table top sales events. Through the fam trip, TAT is leveraging multiple strategies to promote travel to Thailand during the coming months of the high season, which started in October. These include the full reopening of Thailand to international tourism, an increased length of stay for tourists, and providing US travellers with easy access to Thailand from all 50 US states. TAT is joining forces with Delta Air Lines and Korean Air in a first-of-its-kind partnership that will increase travel options from the US to Thailand. First launched in 2018, the Delta-Korean Air trans Pacific joint venture offers efficient connections to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket from a combined network of 17 US gateways. Mr. Akinori Yokosawa, Manager of International Specialty Sales, Delta Air Lines, said “By utilising our increasing flight network from across the US, this cooperation will pave the way for ongoing mutual partnership with TAT to promote travel to Thailand. In addition, Delta Air Lines is committed to carbon neutrality, being the first carbon neutral airline on a global basis. And so, we share the common goal of truly responsible tourism with TAT in its plans to drive Thailand towards experience-based and sustainable tourism.” Mr. Jongmin Kim, Sales Director for Thailand, Korean Air, said “The cooperation with Delta Air Lines and TAT will help promote accessibility for tourists from across the US to Thailand on board our flights with excellent service.” Since 1 October, 2022, visitors to Thailand no longer need to show proof of vaccination or ATK test results. And from now until 31 March, 2023, the period of stay is extended to 45 days from 30 days for tourists from countries/territories entitled for visa exemption (this includes America) and to 30 days from 15 days for those eligible for a visa on arrival (VOA). The US is one of Thailand’s major visitor source markets, and US travellers typically have a high level of spending per person while in Thailand. The revitalisation of this and other such key markets is a top priority for TAT, as it aims to maximise revenue while promoting Thailand’s move towards more sustainable, more inclusive, and more environment-friendly tourism. For 2022, TAT expects Thailand to welcome up to 10 million international visitors. Now in the high season, the kingdom has already received over 7 million tourists between 1 January and 26 October, 2022. The target for 2023 is for Thailand to generate a total tourism revenue of 1.5 trillion Baht from the international market. TAT’s ‘Feel Thailand with Delta Air Lines and Korean Air’ mega fam trip is also supported by Thailand’s leading airlines and hotels, including Bangkok Airways, AWC’s affiliated hotels, RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort Chiang Mai, Capella Bangkok, Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at the Chao Phraya River, COMO Point Yamu, The Peninsula Bangkok, and Melia Chiang Mai. Meanwhile, Marriot Marquis Queen’s Park, Bangkok, Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town, and RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort Chiang Mai are venues for the table top sales events.

TAT and Meta launch “Rediscover Thailand” augmented reality tourism experience On from 2-30 November, 2022, at the Thailand Creative and Design Centre in Bangkok, the public can virtually and interactively encounter Thai cultural experiences while tapping into future technology trends. TAT Newsroom The Tourism Authority of Thailand and Meta Thailand launched “Rediscover Thailand”, an augmented reality experience that highlights some of Thailand’s key tourist attractions through Meta’s platforms, in partnership with Thailand’s Creative Economy Agency (CEA), the Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC), Holowisp, and Thailand’s Meta Spark AR creators.

On from 2-30 November, 2022, at the Thailand Creative and Design Centre in Bangkok, the public can virtually and interactively encounter Thai cultural experiences while tapping into future technology trends. TAT Newsroom The Tourism Authority of Thailand and Meta Thailand launched “Rediscover Thailand”, an augmented reality experience that highlights some of Thailand’s key tourist attractions through Meta’s platforms, in partnership with Thailand’s Creative Economy Agency (CEA), the Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC), Holowisp, and Thailand’s Meta Spark AR creators. Running from 2 to 30 November, 2022, at the TCDC in Bangkok, the “Rediscover Thailand” AR exhibition showcases nine innovative AR effects designed and developed by five Thai AR creators from Thailand’s Meta Spark AR community: Pansavuth Khehasukcharoen, Wanisara Chompoorat, Opas Sang-ue, Keetapol Boonprachak, and Sufee Yama. Their works reflect unique cultural highlights and rich diversity from various Thai regions. Open to the public, people can encounter cultural experiences, like the Northern region’s Bo Sang Umbrella Village and traditional Nora dances of the South, virtually and interactively, allowing them to explore the natural and cultural wonders of the country while tapping into future technology trends. Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, said, “The partnership between TAT and Meta shows that we prioritise our commitment to creating value and elevating the tourism sector by building a new tourism ecosystem, particularly through the adoption of new technologies that help push Thailand towards high value and sustainable tourism. This will boost Thailand’s tourist demand and inspire tourists to pursue meaningful travel in the future.” Meta and its partners are spotlighting the beauty of Thailand’s culture and tourist destinations, as well as its creative economy, through this ‘Rediscover Thailand’ programme. This is in support of Thailand’s hosting of the APEC 2022 Economic Leaders Meetings in Bangkok later this month, under the “Open. Connect. Balance” theme, which aims to innovatively restore connectivity and boost sustainable growth following the impacts of the pandemic. Mr. Simon Milner, Vice President, APAC Public Policy at Meta, said, “With Meta’s commitment to build the next social technology, it is our pleasure to see ‘Rediscover Thailand’ come to life today; this creates momentum for us to move forward on the road to the Metaverse. The work we and our partners showcase in this campaign demonstrates the infinite applications of AR/XR across work, play, and in advancing social, cultural, and economic causes, as in the use case for the tourism sector. I think the Metaverse will unlock a lot of opportunities for many industries across the board.” The ‘Rediscover Thailand’ programme is aimed to help uplift the country’s tourism and economy in a creative way, while reinforcing Meta’s commitment to aid local businesses and communities by leveraging digital tools that can help them pivot and recover. It also reflects Meta’s commitment to help people reconnect and open the world once more to trade and tourism. According to Meta, more than 10.3 million people in Thailand have made over 38 million posts and comments about travel across Facebook and Instagram in the last 90 days. This initiative further highlights how Thais have embraced technology and the tremendous potential of Thailand’s Creative Economy, as a recent study shows that 72% of Thailand’s population is going digital by the end of 2022, and 74% of Thai survey respondents saying that they have used at least one metaverse-related tech – such as augmented reality, virtual reality and NFTS – in the last year. Moreover, according to Meta, as of October 2022, Thailand is among the top 10 countries globally with the highest number of active Meta Spark AR creators, of which 58% of the Thai creators self-identify as women. Mr. Pakawat Korsriphitakkul, Co-Founder of Holowisp – a creative AR agency, said, “These AR virtual routes will allow users to experience the destination even if they did not actually travel. This will not only include the physical space, but also the various people, cultures, and traditions that exist.” Mr. Lerchart Thamtheerasathian, Director of Knowledge Development, Creative Economy Agency (CEA), said, “The application of creativity and technology to different use cases – from driving social causes and accelerating the economy, to shifting culture – will be key in advancing Thailand’s creative economy vision. CEA is honoured and excited to be a part of Meta’s ‘Rediscover Thailand’ programme, which provides an avenue for Thai creators to showcase their work, as well as helps support the recovery of Thai tourism by making it fun and accessible through online engagement via AR technology.” As part of the “Rediscover Thailand” campaign, Meta is also organising a skills building workshop called “Meta Spark Creator Connect” for 75 AR creators from around the world and in the region, including Thailand, to educate and grow the Meta Spark Global Creator community and build the ecosystem leading to future tech in Thailand. As Thailand continues to develop its digital and creative economy, such campaigns would contribute to moving the country towards the metaverse, enabling more connections, unlocking great opportunities for people and communities, and transforming many sectors in the future. To experience the ‘Rediscover Thailand’ AR effects online via mobile phone, go to the @TourismThailand Instagram Page and explore the ‘effects’ tab. For an in-person experience, visit Rediscover Thailand – an Augmented Reality exhibition – open to the public for free, from 2 to 30 November 2022, 10.30-19.00 Hrs. every day except Monday, at the Thailand Creative and Design Centre, Bangkok, Front Lobby, Fl. 1.

By Thai Newsroom Reporters THE RUAM THAI SANG CHART Party is not going to invite Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to join and contest the next general election under the brand-new party’s banners anytime soon.

China successfully launched the third and final piece of its new Tiangong space station on Monday — and the rocket’s 21.6-ton body is now coming back down somewhere on Earth, likely on Saturday. The Mengtian module, which carries science experiments, blasted off on China’s Long March 5B-Y4 rocket. As it climbed into space, the rocket’s core stage gave the space-station module one last push into Earth’s orbit before detaching itself.

Pubs which brew their own craft beers will benefit the most from the government’s new edict on alcoholic beverages and their number is expected to increase, while small investors who want to produce liquor or beer will find it difficult to enter the market, due to new restrictions imposed by the edict, according to a professor who specialises in the liquor industry. Assistant Professor Charoen Charoenchai, of the Faculty of Agricultural Technology at the Rajamangala University of Thanyaburi, told Thai PBS that the edict gives an impression that the state has removed several restrictions, allowing individuals to produce alcoholic beverages for household consumption and commercial purposes, in an attempt to break up the liquor production oligopoly. For instance, he said that restrictions on minimum registered capital and minimum amount of production have been lifted for new investors, but some new restrictions were introduced, such as the requirement for new investors to conduct environmental impact assessment studies and install standard machinery which records tax payments for the alcoholic beverages they produce.
