webfact Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Martial law has no obvious impact on Chiang Mai tourismCHIANG MAI, 21 May 2014 (NNT) - Tourism entrepreneurs in Chiang Mai believe martial law has had no impact on tourism in the province.According to the Chiang Mai Tourism Business Association Committee spokesman Pornchai Jitranawasathien, the announcement of martial law has created mild concern in the tourism business sector and amongst tourists.However, they were not frightened and eventually accepted that the situation does not affect their safety after military troops remained disciplined. So far, no foreign tourists groups have cancelled their trips to Chiang Mai.Nevertheless, political stability would definitely benefit tourism in the long term. At present, travelers from other Asia countries and the Middle East continue arriving in Thailand as normal, whereas those from Europe and the USA may decide to take a few months to fully assess safety and security before entering Thailand.-- NNT 2014-05-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybruce Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 A number of people working in tourism related businesses told me that Song Khran attracted fewer than average visitors, and things have been really slow since. Backpackers usually start to arrive in June, many people don't like them but they do spend money and keep a lot of businesses going until the high season. However if the curfew stays in effect I expect few backpackers, and those that come won't stay long. Backpackers don't like curfews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
