The 26 millionth visitor, Tommy Jeppsson, was welcomed at the arrival lounge by Thailand’s Minister of Tourism and Sports Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul who was joined by representatives from leading tourism organisations and businesses.

PHUKET: A Norwegian man who arrived at Phuket International Airport yesterday (Nov 20) was the 26 millionth person to arrive in Thailand this year.

The visitor, Tommy Jeppsson, who arrived on flight TG205 from Bangkok, was surprised to receive a grand welcoming ceremony which was led by Thailand’s Minister of Tourism and Sports Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul who was joined by representatives from leading tourism organisations and businesses when he walked into the passenger arrival lounge.

For being the 26 millionth visitor, Mr Jeppsson was awarded two economy-class return tickets from his original destination to Thailand valid for one year, a voucher for five-nights stay at a luxury accommodation, a mobile phone with a 4G sim-card and seven-day internet usage for use during the trip, and a “Thailand’s Luckiest Visitor” certificate from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Airports of Thailand, the Immigration Bureau, Thai Airways International and True Corporation.

Mr Jeppsson said, “I chose Phuket as my travel destination for the winter break so I can enjoy the nice weather, amazing Thai food and culture, beaches and natural attractions.

“I have visited Phuket seven times already and on each trip I have stayed for two weeks.”

Mr. Jeppsson was thinking, “Oh crap, why me? I’m tired, I wanna get the hell out of here, I need a cold beer and a hot woman.”
