Thailand's tourism minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakan was guest of honor as the southern province of Phangnga celebrated the return of foreign tourists in great numbers post-pandemic.

 

At an event called "Dive to the Nature" in Khao Lak there was great excitement as the crowd were kept waiting for the big announcement about who the one millionth visitor to the area would be.

 

77kaoded spoke of the one millionth foreigner, but the announcer seemed to indicate it could be a Thai. The audience were on tenterhooks.

 

Then all was revealed. 

 

It was Veronika Labajova from Slovakia.

She was presented with a bouquet by the minister and even got a 3,000 baht gift voucher. 

 

Ms Labajova said: 

 

"I feel very honored. I feel very lucky to be here.

 

"It's an amazing country".

You know there are desperate times ahead when you're given daily arrival numbers, where they're are going, where they are coming from, how much they are spending....

how come we don't get this kind of news form industry leaders?

12%-15% of GDP they tell us.. BS

Without tourism Thailand is screwed.
