The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced plans to organize Songkran celebrations across the country. The agency now anticipates an 18 billion baht increase in revenue from both Thai and foreign tourists traveling during the festival.
A total of 3.8 million trips are expected to be made by Thai people during the Thai New Year, plus 300,000 trips by foreign tourists.
