Phuket Governor hears Ukraine embassy call for longer tourist stays

 

 

PHUKET: The First Secretary of the Ukrainian Embassy in Thailand, Dr Oleksandr Zub, yesterday during a meeting with Phuket Governor Chockchai Dejamornthan called for longer stays for Ukrainian visitors to Thailand as way to help boost income generated from tourism.

 

Dr Zub met with Governor Chockchai at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday (Mar 17) to discuss ways of improving bilateral relations between Thailand and Ukraine.

 

“We would like to see the Thai Government extend the length of time that Ukrainian tourists can stay to enjoy their holidays. Each year more than 50,000 Ukrainian tourists come to Thailand. They like Thai food and Thai Boxing,” Dr Zub said.

 

The Ambassador note that this year marks the 25th anniversary of Thai-Ukraine relations.

 

“We have a big celebration ready which we have been preparing since last year. We have an agreement to facilitate business conducted by men and women from Ukraine who visit Thailand.

Depends on how much money the bank would lend them for a "holiday" loan.
