Tourexpi
This
initiative supports long-stay tourism and regional economic development while
promoting Thailand as a top-tier remote work destination.
The
new season of the Workation Paradise campaign offers tailored perks designed to
appeal to modern professionals seeking a balance between productivity and
leisure. As part of the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025,
the campaign aligns with Thailand’s broader goal of welcoming 39 million
international visitors and generating over 3 trillion Baht in tourism revenue.
By promoting the "workation" lifestyle—working while traveling—TAT
aims to encourage regional travel, cultural sustainability, and income
distribution across local communities.
TAT
Governor Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool stated: “Season 3 marks an important
collaboration with Fastwork to engage high-value travelers through curated
experiences. This effort encourages longer stays, higher spending, and travel
between regions, while fostering meaningful connections between diverse
destinations and flexible working arrangements.”
More
than 200 leading brands across accommodation, dining, and co-working sectors
are participating, offering exclusive discounts. Notable partners include Sri
Panwa, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, Hyatt Regency Hua Hin, The Zign Pattaya, Aana
Resort & Spa Koh Chang, Home Phutoey River Kwai Resort, The Bayview
Pattaya, Vana Nava Water Jungle, Bar B Q Plaza, and Oasis Spa, among others.
The
campaign features two core promotional initiatives:
“Team
Travel Workation – Powered by TAT”: Participants can redeem curated perks from
partner businesses and, by visiting selected locations, enter to win exclusive
group travel packages and other prizes.
“100
Baht to Work and Travel”: In collaboration with Fastwork, this promotion offers
premium travel and lifestyle vouchers for just 100 baht each. Two rounds of
sales will launch on 25 July and 25 August 2025 via https://fastwork.co.
Fastwork
CEO Mr. CK Cheong commented: “Fastwork is proud to partner with TAT in
promoting the future of work—one that empowers people to work from anywhere and
live more freely. Our platform supports not only professional autonomy but also
regional economic resilience by spreading tourism income beyond major hubs. We
believe this model of work-life balance is becoming the new global standard.”
