The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will propose extending Phase 4 of the “Rao Tiew Duay Kan” (We Travel Together) domestic tourism program until December tothe Center for Economic Situation Administration (CESA) tomorrow (Friday), according to TAT Deputy Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool.

 

Phase 4 of the program is scheduled to end on May 31st.

 

Thapanee explained that she chose not call the program “Phase 5” because there are residual funds from Phase 4 and the TAT wants to make use of them, the amount of which is expected to be known this month.

I wonder if my Thai wife can avail of this when we return to Thailand on holiday?

I had my wife look into it and she said the program was closed or full. At any rate, we couldn't avail ourselves of it. But she could certainly be wrong.

We tried using this in the last phase and the only hotels that seem to use it are the high end expensive ones. We prefer to support locally owned resorts than the companies already raking it in.

Lol, that's what I say when I can't afford the best hotels 

It would help if you had a link to the appropriate Web site to register . 

So TAT proudly proclaims that tourism is booming.. domestically subsidised by the government.

I wonder what will happen when they cut the hand-outs?

I am not surprised if it is only the high end hotels getting in on this government scheme,

as who would own shares in the smaller operators.  Sounds like the old Thailand that

I know, different day same old corruption.
