After it was announced that there would be a 50% discount on accommodation to promote tourism in Thailand, the Thai government announced another plan to provide ฿3,000 in handouts to prospective travellers to encourage people to travel and boost the Thai economy.

On 9th June 2020, Mr. Lavaron Sangsnit, the director-general of the Fiscal Policy Office, revealed that the handouts to promote tourism might come in the form of ฿3,000 in cash, vouchers, or discount coupon, Thairath shared.
As reported on Khaosod English, these handouts will be given to tourists above the age of 18, and 10-20% cashback will be offered to tourists who spend more than ฿3,000. It is unclear on other requirements one must have in order to receive this promotion.
This measure aims to encourage people to travel during July to October, which is typically not a popular “travelling season”.

There will be compensation leaves for the Songkran holiday that allow people to travel from July onwards. More details on the handouts will be announced officially at a later date.
With the measures taken to help the industry, we hope that we’ll be able to travel and go on vacations again soon!.
