A recent video on TikTok suggests the tourism industry is alive and well in Thailand, showing thousands of tourists partaking in a popular water-based activity.
A TikTok video from Thai user @roritarkratair shows a mass of foreign tourists tubing along the Pai River in the northern province of Mae Hong Son, Thailand. According to comments on the video, it is one sign the kingdom’s tourism industry is making a strong recovery.
Posted two days ago, on February 22, the video shows dozens of tourists bumping into one another as they jostle down the river in large inflatable tubes. Viewers believe the footage was taken at Pai River, at the Rim Pai Cottage Hotel in the Pai district of Mae Hong Son.
According to a hotel staff member, 90 per cent of tourists in the province were foreigners and almost all accommodation options along the river provided tubing activities, reported the daily local newspaper, Khaosod.
Thai citizens commented on @roritarkratair’s video and confirmed Pai was currently packed with foreign tourists. Some were happy about the return of visitors from around the world.
