Poll: Chiang Mai number one tourist destination for Thais
Bt20 billion is expected to be spent to stimulate tourism as an online poll said most Thais see Chiang Mai as their number one tourist destination.
The stimulus project is going to be proposed to the Cabinet tomorrow (June 16) and will include registration for tourism operators who want to receive the subsidy.
Meanwhile, an online survey by Suan Dusit Poll revealed that 31 per cent of 1,116 Thais questioned ranked Chiang Mai as the number one tourist attraction they would love to visit.
Prachuap Khiri Khan came next, with 28 per cent saying they wish to visit the province more than any other. Bangkok, Chon Buri and Kanchanaburi followed in popularity, respectively.
