The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has reported that TIME magazine’s list of ‘The World’s Greatest Places Of 2023’, which it describes as being 50 extraordinary destinations to explore – includes two destinations in Thailand – Isan and Phuket.
The TIME makes particular mention of Isan’s diverse and delicious culinary offerings but marked the 60th anniversary of Thailand’s first national park, Khao Yai, which sits largely in Isan’s Nakhon Ratchasima province and is home to elephants, gibbons, and Asian black bears.
Of Phuket, TIME says the famed beaches of Phuket just upped its family appeal with the grand opening of Carnival Magic, a culturally-focused theme park last September. Voluntourism initiatives continue to be a priority on the island. The Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, for example, invites visitors to help feed the animals and provides education about elephant communication and behaviour.
Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, said “To have not just one but two Thai inclusions in this prestigious compilation of worldwide destinations to visit is a wonderful honour, and something Thailand can be very proud of. Thailand is indeed ready to welcome tourists from all over the world through the ‘Visit Thailand Year 2023: Amazing New Chapters’ campaign.”
Since April 25, tourists arriving in the city of Doge are required to present an "entrance ticket" in the form of a QR code at the points of entry, which can be purchased online at a single price of 5 euros
