Dont miss anything.watch the video till end. Thailand fully reopened to foreign visitors on Friday when entry restrictions, particularly the Thailand Pass regis­tration requirement, were eased further. Operators of tourism-related businesses have welcomed the move, hoping that an expected surge in international arrivals will help the tourism industry get back on its feet after being hit by the economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, more than 400,000 foreign visitors arrived in Thailand in May when the Test & Go scheme was lifted and at least 900,000 were expected monthly from Friday when the Thailand Pass requirement ended. The number is projected to hit 1.5 million per month during the high season, he said. Phuket's high numbers Thanet Tantipiriyakit, chairman of the Phuket Tourism Council, said lifting Thailand Pass will ensure easier entry into the country. "Entry rules will become more friendly and convenient for tourists. Ease of entry is another factor that will convince them to choose Thailand as their first-choice destination. The lifting of the Thailand Pass will be a boon to not only Phuket, but the tourism industry as a whole," he said. Mr Thanet said tourism in Phuket is now starting to improve, with many airlines seeking to launch direct flights from countries including India to the island province. Airlines from South Korea will also resume direct flights to Phuket shortly, he added. "The lifting of Thailand Pass will prove to be a catalyst to encourage airlines to make a quick decision," Mr Thanet said. He also noted that the current number of visitors to Phuket has not dropped despite being the low season, with arrivals in the region of between 3,000 and 4,000 per day, particularly from India. Positive trend for Pattaya Pattaya mayor Poramet Ngampichet, said the government's decision to allow nightspots to open until 2am will revive tourism in Pattaya. "This will give tourists longer to enjoy themselves. Most importantly, an end to Thailand Pass will help tourists travel more conveniently," Mr Poramet said, adding that Pattaya expects an influx of about 3–4 million tourists from India. "They are applying for visas and will be big spenders in Pattaya, in addition to visitors from the UK and the Middle East," he said. Mr Poramet said that in 2019, Pattaya attracted about 5 million domestic visitors and about 2 million Chinese tourists, as well as travellers from Russia, India and South Korea, generating some 300 billion baht in income. Between January and April this year, the popular beach town welcomed 3.8 million visitors, mostly Thais, partly due to the government's "We Travel Together" hotel subsidy scheme, with an income of about 22 billion baht, he said. During this period, there were only 65,000 foreign visitors, but that number increased by 40,000 in May when some entry requirements such as the Test & Go scheme were lifted, he said. Events in Chiang Mai Chiang Mai governor Prachon Pratsakul said the Covid-19 situation in the northern province has improved considerably, with case numbers falling to single digits. The resumption of businesses and activities, including seminars, meetings and exhibitions, have helped revitalise the local economy, he said. The end of Thailand Pass will boost tourism in Chiang Mai as the province is a favourite destination for many tourists, Mr Prachon said. Currently, Chiang Mai is hosting FTI Expo 2022 organised by the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) as well as Lanna Expo 2022, he said. The two events will end Sunday. "The government and private sector are working together to restore consumer confidence, which is receiving a good response," the governor said. However, he admitted the economic situation, rising fuel prices and the high cost of living are still difficult challenges. Watcharayu Kuawong, director of the TAT's Chiang Mai office, said local tourism continues to recover at a strong pace after several entry restrictions were eased. ok. we look forward to meet you again with more news updates and video about thailand tourism. keep in touch with "travel thailand ". and dont forget to like video and subscribe the channel .
