(September 11, 2008) – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has embarked on an immediate tourism recovery plan and is working closely with the Thai tourism industry to restore confidence in the destination.
TAT has been conducting random interviews with individual tourists at various popular tourism sites around Bangkok, such as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Khao San Road, Chatuchak Market, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, Siam Square and CentralWorld at Ratchaprasong intersection. Foreign tourists were asked how they felt about their stay in Thailand over the past week and early this week. All of the individuals responded positively and indicated that the situation has not in any way affected his/her visit to Thailand.

Exploring Rattanakosin Island and other old parts of the capital is increasingly popular among Bangkokians. With so many elegant temples and heritage buildings, these areas offer tons of photo opportunities. But instead of using a camera or a smartphone, how about recording your wonderful experience on paper with pencils and paintbrushes?
If this sounds like a good idea to you, this Saturday you re invited to join the Doen Len Sen Si walking tour which will start from Wat Sa Ket, the temple where the Golden Mount is located, at 8am. The trip will be led by Rasita Sinekiem, a lecturer on the history of art and architecture, and Pitirat Yoswattana, a freelance architect, artist and author of Bangkok Old Town Through Sketches, which compiles a collection of her colourised works. (A glimpse of the book can be viewed at youtu.be/MmNnz6wNu7I.)
