Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha was pleased after Thailand's travel safety was ranked 8th globally and 1st in ASEAN by a recent American survey, saying this would help the wider re-opening of the country on May 1st.
National —
Yesterday, April 30th, Mrs. Traisulee Traisornkul, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office revealed that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha expressed great satisfaction and gratitude after Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection announced the State of Travel Insurance Report, which showed that Thailand's travel safety was ranked eighth internationally by American tourists and third in Asia after Japan and South Korea, while Millennial tourists ranked Thailand as the second safest destination. Thailand, on the other hand, was ranked first in ASEAN by American tourists.
Mrs. Traisulee stated that the Ministry of Tourism and Sports has continually attempted to standardize travel safety in all aspects such as road safety, water safety, and tourist property protection to establish a good image for the country.
Mrs. Traisulee added that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha firmly believed that Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection's report would have a positive impact on Thai tourism in the overall aspect, given that Thailand was dropping Test and Go, which required Covid-19 testing on arrival and the risk of a quarantine, for a wider reopening on May 1st. He thanked all stakeholders and Thai citizens for making Thailand a safe, welcoming, and inviting destination for tourists all over the world.
