webfact Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 By Paul Rujopakarn Surat Thani (NNT) - The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expects the long New Year weekend to attract over 31,000 tourists to Surat Thani province, generating 276 million baht in tourism revenue. Tourism to the province is nevertheless expected to be weak overall at just 24% hotel occupancy over the four-day holiday period. On Saturday, many domestic travelers from Bangkok and other provinces reportedly visited Ratchaprapa Dam in Ban Ta Khun district, as well as Khong Phanom and Khao Sok national parks in Phanom district. Over 30 Khao Sok resorts are meanwhile reporting full bookings. Thais currently make up the majority of tourists to Khao Sok, though the Khao Sok Tourism Operators Association said outlook is improving. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-01-03 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
