Pakorn Partanapat, Chief Operating Officer of CPN said: "The Songkran Festival has been recognized by many as an international festival and is mentioned around the world. The number of tourists visiting Thailand during the Songkran Festival period increases every year and this is the peak season of the year. The total number of flights within the country has increased 10% from last year and this will help to create a bright economy for 2017 and generate over 10 billion baht in cash revenues for Thailand, reflecting confidence from both consumers and tourists alike. The festive vibe will encourage people to come out and participate in the water-splashing activities and to enjoy shopping, eating and buying souvenirs. This is also the best opportunity for family reunions and bringing all people together."
