Thailand has long been a relatively inexpensive vacation destination for U.S. travelers, but these days, the Southeast Asia country is hungrier than ever for tourists. Airlines, hotels, resorts and retail shops in popular Thai tourist areas have cut rates and prices this year in an effort to convince travelers from abroad to visit despite an ailing global economy, swine flu fears and years of political unrest in the country’s southernmost region, a recent AP story reports.
Tourism officials in Thailand expect the domestic tourism industry to suffer a $5.6 billion loss this year over last, thanks to a deep decline in visitors.
While we’d recommend being cognizant of and well-informed about the political issues at play in the country before booking a trip, the unrest there over the last five years certainly hasn’t stopped plenty of tourists from enjoying all that Thailand has to offer. If this country has ranked highly on your list of must-see destinations around the world and you’ve been waiting for an economically-savvy time to go, there are plenty of deals to be had in ‘09, especially during the low season that lasts through early fall. Among them:
- Stay in the Peninsula Hotel Bangkok, and, along with a $100 credit for dining during your stay, you’ll also receive a second night free good for stays at Peninsula properties around the globe.
- A round of golf and a spa treatment now come free to guests who stay two nights at the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi.
- Through October, Marriott hotels around the country such as the JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok are currently offering up to 50 percent off rates to travelers who pay for their stay at least 21 days in advance.
- Thai Airways is offering free connecting domestic tickets to passengers flying in from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
- AirAsia tickets from Bangkok to domestic airports around the country can be had for an impressively low $10.
