Thailands ‘secret weapon’ to bring back tourists | GMT

More than 7,000 tourists from Russia and Ukraine in Thailand are allowed to extend their visas without an application fee as the government considers to offer humanitarian assistance as well. Don’t read too much news, at least that’s what Thailand’s Department of Mental Health is saying. One public health official says Thailand has a “secret weapon” to bring back tourists. A fire erupted on Sunday at a luxury resort on Koh Kut, off the coast of Thailand’s Trat province which burned down almost the entire hotel in just 10 minutes.
