Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 16 Popular Post Share Posted February 16 Songkhla province is considering lifting restrictions on foreign-registered buses, potentially allowing them to cross provincial boundaries. The move aims to attract more visitors, predominantly from Malaysia, to explore other scenic destinations in southern Thailand, reveals a local tourism authority. President of the Phatthalung Tourism Association, Charoon Kaewwaveesub, disclosed today that Songkhla, in collaboration with the local land transport office, has proposed terminating the ban. However, the final endorsement from the Land Transport Department in Bangkok is pending. If approved, foreign buses venturing outside Songkhla will still require authorisation from local authorities. However, buses without passengers will remain barred from entering Thailand. Efforts to reach officials from Songkhla province and the local land transport office for comment were unsuccessful. The existing provincial decree, enforced since August 15, 2014, confines foreign-registered buses carrying passengers to operate solely within Songkhla’s borders.
