Mai for rich Lanna culture and history,
Kanchanaburi for the untouched beauty
of nature and even Khao Yai for one of the
best national parks in Thailand and a host
of tropical wineries – perfect for women
looking for an extraordinary retreat.
In its second year of Women’s Journey
Thailand, TAT will be bringing back several
activities that were launched in last year’s
campaign. Look forward to events like the
Lady Golf Challenge, where women golfers
all over Asia meet to socialise and play a
round of gold, and Thailand Through Her
Eyes that brings social media influencers
and photographers together to capture the
beauty of Thailand on social media. There
is also Lady Celebrities To Thailand, Lady In
Thai Fabrics, and Lady Bloggers – activities
that will enhance Thailand’s positive image
as one of Asia’s most female-friendly
destinations.
Other than these activities, TAT is
collaborating with various tourism-related
businesses throughout the country. The
products and services have been categorised
into seven types: accommodation (hotels
and resorts); health, beauty and spa
services; recreation and entertainment,
including theme parks; lifestyle activities
like handicraft workshops and fitness
classes; and transportation services, such as
airline tickets and car rentals.
The products, services and special privileges
will all be featured on the Women’s Journey
Thailand mobile app that is available in both
the Apple App Store and Android Google Play
Store. Easily search for the hottest privileges
from partners like NokScoot and Bangkok
Airways, and shopping malls like Siam Paragon,
Siam Center, Siam Discovery, and Central
Department Store. This year, find great deals
like special fares on air tickets and even priority

International Airport from 11-13 August.
As a warm welcome to women to
Thailand, find a welcome privilege package
on the mobile app as well. Women travellers
