Bangkok – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) organised a fam trip and industry symposium for a group of wedding planners from India during 15-22 March, 2022, to update them on some of the world-famous romantic destinations on offer in Thailand.

 

Thailand is already an immensely popular destination for Indian newly-weds and couples looking for a romantic getaway, having been named ‘Best Honeymoon Destination’ for the second year in a row at the 10th Anniversary Edition of the Travel + Leisure India’s Best Awards 2021 last December, and with Thailand relaxing its entry requirements since 1 April, 2022, the TAT Mumbai and New Delhi Offices took the opportunity to take 15 wedding planners from across India to Phuket, Ko Samui, Khao Lak, and Bangkok.

 

These and other beach destinations like Krabi, Hua Hin, Rayong, and Pattaya are popular with Indian wedding couples and honeymooners.

 

Ms. Cholada Siddhivarn, TAT Mumbai Office Director, said “For the upcoming wedding season, we plan to mainly focus on marketing activities to bring Thailand back to the ‘must-travel wish list’ and a perfect ‘wedding destination’ for Indians. In Thailand, anything is possible – from your fairy-tale wedding to your dream proposal, from a romantic honeymoon to a glorious pre-wedding shoot. It’s the perfect place direct from your own love story”.

A couple in IT sector is demanding and getting paid at least 3,500 USD per month 3. Large American  companies like Intel, CIsco, Microsoft, etc. are courting Indian remote workers for up to 5K USD/month salary and a couple can make close 9-10K USD/month. 4. The IT revolution and digital economy is getting a strong foothold  5.
