Thailand promotes development of northeast provinces
Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has instructed the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports to look for distinguishing features of the northeastern provinces of Nong Bua Lamphu, Bung Kan, Loei, Nong Khai and Udon Thani, that can be used in promoting tourism.
These second-tier provinces have many tourist attractions, including distinguished cultures and culinary delights, he said after a cabinet meeting in Nong Bua Lamphu province on December 4.
The PM said that one-tambon-one-product (Otop) goods displayed at the cabinet meeting venue were quality products and their sale should be promoted.
