Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor said, "TAT in cooperation with relevant domestic travel associations as well as the Thai tourism product and services providers is organising this special activity with an objective of encouraging more Thais to travel within Thailand during the Songkran festival or the Thai New Year. This is also in response to the Royal Thai Government's policy which wants to promote domestic travel and stimulate more spending to help boost up local economy."
