In this regard, it is considered that the most important thing is to issue measures to stimulate tourism in late 2024. We will discuss with relevant agencies to reconsider the details again to see what else needs to be pushed forward. We ask for time to consider old data first to see what measures can stimulate tourism more. 'Foreign tourists coming in at this time are approaching the high season or the tourist season. We must hurry to accommodate this period as best as possible, as well as stimulate Thais to travel within Tha iland,' said Mr. Surawong.

Mr. Surawong added that in the short term, the government will prioritize the 2025 SEA Games, which Thailand will host in 2025.
