Despite an accusation of theft made on Reddit by an unidentified British woman against hill tribe children at Doi Suthep, the number of British visitors to the Kingdom is still increasing.
More than 1 million tourists from the UK visit Thailand per year, the country is one of their top vacation destinations.
The British Ambassador to Thailand, Brian Davidson has also issued an apology to the Governor of Chiang Mai over the unfounded watch stealing incident as well as other inappropriate behavior by Brit tourists.
The Thai government has also published new materials aimed at British tourists that are meant to help the Westerners understand Thailand’s customs and traditions.
The PR materials should help to clear up any misunderstanding between the two countries, and to restore Chiang Mai’s image as a tourist destination, reported NNT.
