Thailand background

• Thailand has a rich and colorful culture, and many exotic monuments and stunning beaches, which draw millions of visitors each year, ranging from budget-conscious backpackers to those seeking luxurious pampering in a spa.

• Buddhism is a way of life here and with the reverence the people have for the monarchy, a dynasty that has maintained the independence of the country for centuries, the result for the Thais is a blend of tradition with contemporary living.

Page 16: Advertising - Thailand Tourism Project

• dynamic Bangkok, a city that is larger than life, with its futuristic high-rise buildings juxtaposed against the glittering Grand Palace.

• Traffic and tranquillity, beaches and bargains, ancient palaces and stunning temples

Thailand background

Page 17: Advertising - Thailand Tourism Project

• Beyond urban Thailand are flat plains carpeted with rice paddies and dotted with tiny villages, mountains of luxuriant teak forests where elephants once roamed wild, long stretches of white-sand beach, acres of coconut palms and rubber plantations, and clear-blue waters against towering rock cliffs. Rural life is languid and hospitable, and behind every warm Thai smile there is true kindness.

Thailand background

Page 18: Advertising - Thailand Tourism Project

• Outdoor-adventure opportunities abound: sail, paddle, dive, and snorkel in the sea; trek to villages; ride the rivers; or go on four-wheel-drive adventures in the rugged upcountry.

• Rural Thailand is ripe for exploration by bus, train, car, motorbike, and boat, and visitors are limited only by their tolerance for adventure.

• Recent history:

- Thailand’s recent past has been characterized by economic boom and bust, unstable government, unrest in the Muslim south and the effects of the December 2004 tsunami disaster. - This time, though, a civilian prime minister was installed, and following this, despite various government collapses and allegations of corruption in high places, parliamentary democracy prevailed until September 2006 when there was a peaceful military coup.- Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was forced to stand down, his term of office since 2001 being constantly marred by accusations of corruption. - Civilian government was restored to Thailand and the new elected prime minister Samak Suntorvech.

Situation Analysis

Page 22: Advertising - Thailand Tourism Project

Situation Analysis

• For all this, Thailand has risen above economic collapse in 1997, SARS, avian influenza and the devastating tsunami in December 2004 to become a hugely popular destination on the long-haul tourist trail, possessed as it is of great natural beauty and a very rich cultural heritage.

• Suvarnabhumi, The opening of Bangkok's space-age airport, with the capacity to handle 45 million travelers a year and eventually 100 million with planned expansion, will only make Thailand a more convenient destination, recent political turmoil notwithstanding.

Page 23: Advertising - Thailand Tourism Project

• Thailand’s Economics:

: Baht Currency Appreciation Thai Government concern about the very strong value of Thai currency which appreciate to 30.82 per 1 U.S. Dollar.

: This appreciation might affect investment from foreigners in Thailand. And also, it may increase the cost on expenditure in Tourism

: Increase in oil price which affect the whole business chain. Resulting in increasing transportation price and overall price in goods and services.

Situation Analysis

Page 24: Advertising - Thailand Tourism Project

• Political Situation:

: The current political situation lacks of instability, even though there is an elected government. Thailand is also one of the countries which have the most corruption in the world. Moreover, the situation at the southern part of Thailand is still severe.

These affect on how other countries think about our country in term of accountability and security, and also affect on the economy which directly have a huge impact on the tourism.
