Chairat also said domestic tourism needs to be promoted for one to two years while the market waits for foreign tourists to regain confidence.

“Thailand needs Chinese tourists as we recover,” Chairat added. “When the situation becomes safe again, Chinese will return to Thailand as our country is near. Moreover, the Chinese market has the capacity to expand.”
