Flights to Thailand Remain in Demand After Riots

Thailand is still proving to be a popular destination despite Political unrest in some areas

Though recent riots in Thailand may have perturbed many travelers from visiting the country the Tourism Authority of Thailand's (TAT) governor, Sawasdee Krub, has played down the issue and expressed that visitors are still very welcome to the country. With a wide range of flights to Thailand being assessable from locations across the British Isles the TAT added that the incidents occurred in limited pockets of the country and that there was no reason for travel to one of the world's most popular destinations to be negatively affected.

Most of Thailand's significant tourist destinations such as Bangkok and Phuket along with the beach locations popular with backpackers were not involved in the rioting that resulted in the deaths of Thai militants. Writing an open letter to the public Mr Krub said that the TAT had, over the past 50 years, managed to make the country one of the most popular destinations of the world. Expressing that the violence had not affected Thailand's core appeals such as its beautiful scenery, rich culture and the huge hospitality of the Thai nationals, he added that though the media spotlight may have worried some tourists the country remained a safe haven for tourists.

Flying out from a number of airports across the country Thailand remains easily and simply accessible, with a range of class options available. With individuals able to continue enjoying the delights of the eastern country and travel there through economy, Eva airway's premium economy or Qatar's business class, Thailand looks set to remain ever popular despite the recent violence.
