Thailand launches tourist-friendly app

App helps with itinerary ideas and navigation

Tourism Thailand has launched its first ever smartphone app to help visitors to the Kingdom access all the latest information.

Among its many features are itinerary ideas, planning tools, a social media share function and Google Maps to assist with navigation around the Asian country.

It can also help tourists make savings on activities; with 20 to 50 per cent discounts available for over 300 accommodation, restaurant and attraction locations.

Named ‘Lifestyle Thailand’, the mobile tool features eight different travel experiences from which visitors can choose, comprising Chic, Romantic, Breezy, ‘Thainess’, Adventure, Wellness, Easy ‘n’ Slow and Family.

Visual 360-degree tours allow smartphone users to check out locations before they get there and the app will be updated monthly to keep the information fresh.

“If you are a savvy traveller who loves to have all the latest information and offers at your finger tips then this is the perfect app for you,” said Tourism Thailand.
