The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is looking to postpone registration for the third phase of the “Rao Tiew Duay Kan” travel subsidy campaign, which was scheduled to open on May 17th.

 

TAT Governor Yuthasak Supasorn said the postponement is aimed at complying with measures, announced by the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), to contain the spread of the virus by urging people to refrain from unnecessary interprovincial travel.

 

He said the TAT is closely monitoring the situation in various tourist provinces and will discuss a suitable start date again next week, after meeting with the Minister of Tourism and Sports.

 

Under the scheme, Thai nationals over 18 years old, can register to receive a 40% discount on hotel rooms and restaurants. They will also receive an e-voucher when checking into a hotel as well as a 40% flight refund when they check out.

Show me the money is still available without showing me the money.  With travel being put on the back burner and folks told not to travel unnecessarily why even discuss holding up the program. Just cancel it and pocket the money TAT for all your hard work.

“Rao Tiew Duay Kan” travel subsidy campaign,

What was is the quot by G. Orwell “He is fiddling while Rome is burning, and, unlike the enormous majority of people who do this, fiddling with his face toward the flames.”

They are planing mass tourism campaign while Bangkok and many other provinces are burning with Covid...

TAT considers. is surely a first  ????

Sad for TAT and their plans maybe they can help first with the vaccine distribution for the locals. ????

I cant wait for the TAT statistics next week.

 

I'm sure it's one of the main things, that they are considering at the moment ????

Just put it on hold and dust it off once domestic travel is safe again. It's pointless to predict a date for this right now.
