TAT Phuket Director steps up to Bangkok

PHUKET: Bangonrat Shinaprayoon, Director of the Phuket office of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), bade her final farewell to Governor Tri Augkaradacha at Phuket Provincial Hall this morning before her move to Bangkok.

Ms Bangonrat leaves the island on August 1 to take up her new position in Bangkok as Director of Attractions Promotion Division.

“My new department is responsible for deciding what places and venues in Thailand should be promoted as tourist attractions,” she said.

She went on to explain that although she is leaving her post at the end of the day, the TAT Phuket office is still working on various important promotions to draw tourists to the island.

“Apart from targeting families, which is a very important group for us, we also believe that educational tourism and museums are worthy of promoting,” she said.

“I hope I get the chance to work with the TAT Phuket office again,” she added.
