Thailand named top-3 destination of honeymooners in Asia and South Pacific

BANGKOK, 20 January 2012 (NNT) – Thailand has been voted one of the top-3 popular destinations in Asia and South Pacific for American honeymooners.

Mrs. Juthaporn Rerngronasa, Deputy Governor of Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), revealed that the Bridal Guide magazine, which is a leading US publication on wedding and honeymoon, has named Thailand one of the top-3 popular destinations in Asia and South Pacific.

The Deputy TAT Governor said that such a recognition will greatly benefit Thailand's tourism industry in the eyes of American travelers, with many more likely to visit the country in the future.

While the opportunity is open for Thailand to attract more visitors, the TAT offices in New York and Los Angeles will continue to execute the aggressive market penetration plan in the US, which includes the participation in various trade shows and road shows. TAT also plans to invite representatives from travel agencies in the US and members of the press to visit Thailand so that they can have better ideas on why the Land of Smiles should make a perfect destination for American travelers.

As funny as Bangkok capital of the books .... in a country where very litte people read books not comics ....oh well if people are happy bout this why not .... honeymoon in pattaya is probably the best place .

Again,again,again... Always, every year we can see this so-called Thailand is the best place in the world for tourist slogans... bla-bla-bla...

They looking for innocent honeymooners who willing to spend their thousands of dollars, its all about that. They come once, twice but after they run away because the shitty situations.

Very boring to see this news when in the reality it's a dirty, crappy, fake place and getting expensive too. I dont mind it's a third world corrupt country with no future, just dont try to make it nicer if it isnt. I used to be here and learned how to close my eyes on things, but for a newcomer its a big shock for sure.

The only good things are here is the hot food, hot girls, hot weather.

Looks like they loosing the european customers and the chinese, indian cheap charlies not so good as the farang were. Also the americans in huge trouble soon, they loosing jobs, they quite far for travel the whole world around and they convinced US is the best place in the world to be. Good luck for catching the innocents but I think its a failed tactic by the TAT.

If you poor you can live in a small room and eat mama soup for 5 baht, if u rich you can rent your overpriced villa, buy your visa, wife, whatever. It's the country of the Confusion and never-ever anything sure.

They also want back the good old days when they tought unlimited number of new tourist can come every month in huge numbers and didn't care with the foreigner mindset who scammed twice and never want to come back. Most countries think Thailand is a place for pedophiles only and drug abuse backpackers.

Would be much better if they focus on cleaning up the roads, penalize the corrupt officials, force the laws and try to develop this country for the sake of their people, children, future...

Would be much better news and much more tourist will come if they dont get scammed with transport and activities, overpriced hotels, and we dont talk yet about the nightly violence, daily accidents tourists facing every day in their so called TOP DESTINATIONS. Just look at the daily news in Pattaya, Phuket, how many tourist got robbed, killed, beaten, scammed, etc...

Where did I say he was wrong..?...I was asking if he was feeling better after his little rant...some times it's good to get things off your chest...the person concerned is obviously very unhappy about his life here thats all

In total tourism figures Malaysia beats the crap out of Thailand by close to 25%. Even tiny Singapore doesn't lag far behind the Land of Smiles.

Malaysia doesn't place much emphasis on marketing their country but they offer clean beaches, clean water, a stable economy and government, excellent and very varied food, pleasant and educated people who pretty much all speak English, lovely hills and the highest mountain in SEAsia . . . and the list goes on. (Oh, all this without the hookers and beer brigade)

Thailand simply must keep the hookers and beer brigade happy to even have a tourism industry

[chops]

Doubt it will do much. After all, my countrymen are not well known for traveling much...
