The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is highlighting its latest marketing communication concept, Amazing Thailand: Your Stories Never End, at the Thailand Product Update for buyers and media attending the Thailand Travel Mart Plus (TTM+) 2024.
Mr. Nithee Seeprae, TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications, said “Our latest concept underscores our ongoing promotion of meaningful travel experiences in Thailand with an enhanced effort to instil unforgettable stories. We aim to inspire travellers to become storytellers, share their lasting memories, and motivate others to seek out their own memorable stories in Thailand.”
TAT highlighted the new marketing communication concept and showcased Thailand’s diverse tourism offerings, focusing on delivering meaningful travel experiences that would create a lifetime memory. Highlights range from luxury, wellness, soft adventure, and sustainable tourism.
Your Luxury Stories Never End:
A holiday at Phuket and Phang-Nga can be elevated with a stay at the pool villas, treehouse villas, or even a private island, and be mesmerised by a world of culinary delights, from authentic local specialities to Michelin-starred restaurants.
Meanwhile, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai offer a luxury Journey through nature and culture. These include travelling on a pontoon along the Mekong River to spend time in a luxury tented camp or boutique hotel, exploring the beauty of the Lanna’s heritage by visiting temples, or relaxing the mind and body at award-winning spas.
Your Wellness Stories Never End:
Immerse in a variety of health and wellness offerings at La Vita Sana Khao Lak, Phang-Nga, or rejuvenate at Thailand’s Top Wellness Retreats such as RAKxa Wellness & Medical Retreat in Samut Prakan or THANN Wellness Destination in Ayutthaya. Both offer integrative wellness programmes.
Your Soft Adventure Stories Never End:
Travellers who crave unlimited challenges may look to Phang-Nga for many kinds of water sports including surfing at Memories Beach and diving at famous diving spots like Similan Island. Or opt for forest walking at famous routes like Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai and exploring the nature cave at Lam Khlong Ngu National Park in Kanchanaburi.
