Tour Operators in Japan Visited Chiang Mai

The Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Long Stay Management have set up plans to support the long stay tourists who will travel to Chiang Mai. The northern province of Chiang Mai, with an altitude of approximately 310 meters above sea level, is situated approximately 700 kilometers from Bangkok on the Mae Ping River basin.

Chiang Mai is a province filled with northern Thai traditions with a blend of technological innovation. The TAT and Thai Long Stay Management have therefore set up supportive plans for long stay tourists in Chiang Mai Province, which is one of the long stay-designated provinces in Thailand. Chiang Mai is well-organized in terms of its readiness, from its tourist destinations such as Phra Barom That Doi Suthep Temple, Kru Ba Si Wichai Monument, Doi Inthanon, and Chiang Mai Zoo to its complete and modern public health facilities. Tourist information centers for Japanese travelers have also been set up in Chiang Mai, and these centers will carry a sign saying “Long Stay Information Maplus”.

Meanwhile, the Long Stay Salon will take care of the tourists’ visas, residential issues, and rules and regulations between both countries, to facilitate the Japanese travelers.

As for the food sector, Chiang Mai has many traditional and delicious food items to offer to the Japanese such as Khao Ji (ข้าวจี่), or grilled sticky rice, and Khao Kreab Pak Mor (ข้าวเกรียบปากหม้อ) with coconut cream.

Who wrote that article? And what is the last paragraph all about?

It is a media release. Usually there is at least one contact name, position and number on the release on the bottom, but as it is not a press article there is no byline.

I mean, who did they get the article from - did they borrow a 10 year old's essay on Chiang Mai and shoe-horn in something about helping the Japanese.

"Hmm, my article is about 50 words short - I'll just put in long lists of food and places in CM and that'll do - Khun Khru will be so proud of me!"
