If you are planning a trip to Thailand between November 1 and December 16, 2024, you could benefit from exceptional benefits thanks to the “ Amazing Thailand Passport Privileges“. This initiative, launched by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), aims to enrich the visitor experience while boosting the local economy.
Exceptional gifts to win
Upon arrival at one of the three main international airports – Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang or Phuket, by presenting your passport you can win one of 20 packages vacances put into play, worth 35,000 bahts (nearly 1,000 euros) each. These packages, including domestic air tickets and discounts on accommodation and activities, are awarded to every 10,000th visitor between 10,000 and 200,000 tourists arriving in Thailand. (To be clearer: the 10,000th tourist, then the 20,000th, etc. until the 200,000th)
For the lucky ones, a big prize worth 300,000 bahts (around 8,300 euros) is up for grabs. To participate, all you need to do is complete a questionnaire, the details of which will be communicated to you upon your arrival or on the official website of the operation.
During your stay, you can enjoy discounts and special offers in more than 300 participating establishments. From department stores to spas, hotels and restaurants, these benefits cover every aspect of your trip. The Central Sriracha Shopping Mall, the Sri Panwa Hotel in Phuketthe InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit or the Masumi Spa in Chiang Mai are just a few examples of the prestigious partners of this operation.
How to benefit from it?
To benefit from these privileges, simply register online on the tourismthailand website. Once registered, simply present your passport at participating locations to take advantage of special offers.
Discover Thailand differently : an ambitious project to revive tourism
This initiative aims to introduce you to lesser-known aspects of Thailand. Don’t hesitate to get off the beaten track and explore the “Hidden Gem Cities”, these less touristy towns that conceal hidden treasures.
The “Amazing Thailand Passport Privileges” project is part of a broader strategy to revive Thai tourism. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, Governor of TAT, explains: “We are implementing strategies to boost tourism recovery, with a focus on increasing tourist spending, especially in lesser-known cities. »
The initiative targets both nearby Asian markets such as China, South Korea and Japan, and more distant markets such as Europe and North America. The goal is ambitious: to reach 36.7 million foreign visitors in 2024 and generate 3.5 trillion baht in tourism revenue.
Chamnan Srisawat, president of the Tourism Council of Thailand, highlights the simplicity of the system: “Tourists can simply present their passport to benefit from special privileges. » This ease of use aims to encourage maximum visitor participation.
By launching this project, Thailand is demonstrating its desire to stand out on the international tourism scene. And perhaps also to revive business, which has been rather sluggish in recent years…
