"Currently, Thai security agencies are quickly deploying measures to closely monitor and manage the situation. TAT is coordinating with relevant government agencies and local units to ensure the safety and convenience of all visitors in this area.

TAT recommends that tourists regularly update information from official government sources," the notice said.

Tour to Thailand is open for sale as usual

On July 25, Tuoi Tre Online reported on the situation of Thai tours amid the conflict at the border between Thailand and Cambodia. According to Ms. Huynh Phan Phuong Hoang, Deputy General Director of Vietravel , currently Vietravel 's Thai tours are operating normally.

"The tour is still running normally and is very safe. There is some psychological variation among customers, but not much. Customers also know that the conflict at the border does not affect the progress of the tour," said Ms. Hoang.

Similarly, Mr. Tu Quy Thanh, director of Lien Bang Tourism Company, also said that the company's tours to Thailand are open for sale and are still being organized as usual. According to Mr. Thanh, the company has not yet made any moves to postpone or suspend because the airline is still open.

Mr. Thanh said: "The aviation industry is still operating normally, flights are still regular. The tourism industry has no announcements or recommendations. However, it is not too optimistic but in reality, the routes and tours in Thailand that Vietnamese tourists visit and travel to are on safe routes and destinations in cities. Of course, there are customers who cancel their tours but not many."

Returning from Thailand on July 24 after a 4-day study tour in Thailand, Mr. TLH (teacher at Gia Dinh High School, Thanh My Tay Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) said that the group visited many places, safely and happily.

"In Bangkok, the shopping paradise of Thailand, I met many Vietnamese and international tourists. Even at Chatuchak market in the heart of Bangkok, or the bustling night-life spots of the capital, there was almost nothing unusual," TLH said.

According to statistics, Vietnam is one of the major markets for Thai tourism thanks to its affordable prices and no visa requirements... Each year, there are 3 peak seasons for Vietnamese tourists to Thailand: Lunar New Year, Songkran water festival (April) and summer. Thailand tours usually last 5 days and 4 nights, visiting places such as Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin...
