Following an assessment of the situation after the recent earthquake, the TAT reported that conditions in Bangkok and other regions had returned to normal.

Both Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi International Airports in Bangkok remain fully operational. Public transport continues to function without disruption, while hotels and entertainment venues in key tourist destinations remain unaffected.

To ensure visitors’ safety, it will coordinate with the Engineering Institute of Thailand and the Public Works Department to inspect high-rise hotels.

The authority reassured the public that major celebrations of Songkran, a week-long water-splashing celebration starting in mid-April, would go ahead as planned in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and other locations.

The death toll in Bangkok has risen to 19 after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday, with tremors strongly felt in the capital of Bangkok and other parts of Vietnam and China.

Many foreign tourists in Bangkok were left shaken as tremors swayed high-rise buildings, cracked walls, and caused water to spill from rooftop swimming pools.

Between January and March 16, Thailand welcomed 8.3 million international visitors, a 3.9% increase year-on-year. The country targets 39 to 40 million foreign arrivals by the end of this year.
