News this week: Last week, Thailand’s ruling military
junta, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), removed its night-time
curfew nationwide with immediate effect. The council has been gradually easing
the night-time curfew since the end of May.
The three-week long
curfew was first shortened, then subsequently removed in seven MICE and tourism-focused
locations across the country. The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) is currently working with key public
and private sector partners to reinforce industry stakeholders’ understanding
of the situation in Thailand.
Mr Nopparat
Maythaveekulchai, president of TCEB, was quoted, “Stability is a key
consideration for MICE travellers, and the lifting of the night-time curfew is
a strong indication that the situation throughout Thailand has returned to
normal for business travellers. We look forward to extending our famous warm
Thai hospitality and world-class MICE service to our valued visitors.”
