economic growth.

benefit local economies, drive job creation, and support Thailand’s tourism
goals.”

Features of the Project
The

success under the Workation Thailand campaign, first launched in 2020. This
initiative continues to recognise the transformative impact of combining work
and travel, aiming to stimulate weekday tourism, extend travellers’ stays, and
boost spending on tourism services. Encouraging professionals to explore
Thailand’s iconic destinations while working remotely, the campaign further
underscores the country’s position as a top-tier workation destination.

Pha-ngan (Surat Thani).

Pop-up Workspaces provide an ideal setting for work in a relaxed environment,
equipped with essential amenities such as online meeting screens, printers,
electricity, internet, and ergonomic workstations. Offered free of charge, the
spaces are designed to meet the needs of Digital Nomads and Remote Workers,
further complemented by local staff providing on-site assistance.
Enhancing
its appeal, the programme features the ‘100-Baht Voucher’ promotion,
which offers travellers significant savings on premium services. The vouchers
are available for a range of categories, including flights with AirAsia, luxury
accommodations like Sala Khao Yai, Banyan Tree Phuket, and Pullman Khao Lak Resort

Starbucks Coffee. Additionally, vouchers for popular attractions such as

with four rounds scheduled on the 20th of each month from December 2024 to
March 2025. Exclusive pre-sale rounds will be offered on 1 February and 1 March
