This also comprises the dissemination of public relations, creating recognition, and stimulating international tourists to travel to and in Thailand. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has an operational plan to promote the health tourism products of Thailand through the Issue Base: Amazing Thailand Health and Wellness to create and promote health and beauty products that emphasise on value addedness. Consideration has been given to the demands of tourists who have displayed interest and pay attention to their well-being. Furthermore, Thailand is another destination for tourists who keep an eye on their health by coming to relax as well as take care of their body and mind. More importantly, the health services and products of Thailand have set standards, uniformity, and use a combination of Western and Eastern science. There is also the utilisation of Thai wisdom and Thai herbs that help in the healing and caring of health, which is especially unique to Thailand. The Facilities Section, Services Promotion Division has decided to create a Thainess tourist service product package and route database for health and well-being, which reflects being Thai in each region of the country for the tourist group who loves Health and Wellness including various services in all dimensions.

It is now the country’s spiritual, cultural, diplomatic, commercial and educational hub. It covers an area of more than 1,500 square kilometres, and it is home to approxi- mately ten million people or more than 10% of the country’s population. Over the last few decades, Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, has changed into a modern, exciting and sophisticated city. It offers to visitors not only the cosmopolitan amenities they would expect from other big cities, but also a unique treasure trove of cultural attractions. Thailand, in the heart of South- east Asia, was never colonised and thus kept its unique culture and heritage intact. Bangkok offers visitors the opportunity to experience fascinating glimpses of Thailand’s gentle culture amidst the bustle of a great and dynamic metropolis. This great city has had astounding success in combining the ancient and modern world. For tourists, Bangkok has a feast of attractions to offer. The city is dotted with 400 glittering Buddhist temples of great beauty and fascination, magnificent palaces, classical dance extrava- ganzas, numerous shopping centres and traditional ways of life, especially along the “Venice of the East” timeless canals and the Chao Phraya River or the “River of Kings” winding through the city. It is worth taking a trip along its waters before exploring further into different canals to take a glimpse of old Bangkok.
