One of the nice things about living in a big, dirty city is getting away from it as often as you can.
To help with that comes the next random idea to promote tourism in Thailand, 12 pocket-sized guidebooks with information on lesser-known destinations.
So should a burning desire to visit Lampang, Petchaburi, Nan, Buriram, Loei, Samut Songkhram, Ratchaburi, Trat, Chanthaburi, Trang, Chumpon or Nakhon Si Thammarat, the Tourism Authority of Thailand has got you covered.
These are the same destinations promoted last year as part of the authority’s “12 Hidden Gems” campaign, and were selected for their “tourism potential” and accessibility from primary tourist destinations.
The travel guidebook will include pictures and helpful information to motivate visitors to check these places out, but no information on how they’ll be available.
