1). Receding floods reduce impact on Thai tourism




Receding floodwaters north of Bangkok have reduced the threat to the Thai capital; prime minister would ease pressure on the national tourism industry there. Chao Phraya River, the main Bangkok waterway, has swollen close to its brink during unusually high tides, causing some flooding in nearby areas.

The worst floods in the country for half a century have killed 377 people since July. The impact on tourism has begun to be felt, with the close of Don Muang Airport last week and many people reticent to travel. Many foreign governments have also warned citizens against non-essential travel to the city of 12 million people.

The main impact has been in central Thailand and parts of Bangkok, however, central Bangkok remains dry.  Transport, infrastructure and tourism outlets are operating as usual throughout the rest of the country, including Phuket, Hua Hin, Pattaya and Chiang Mai.

Which, the tourism has inconveniences such as the absence of bottled water at convenience stores and some trips have transportation too expensive.

In my opinion, the receding floods reduce impact on Thai tourism have two ways; that’s positive and negative. The positive in tourism make well environment by people saving the world which beginning them house. The negative, some tourism has loose from receding floods by can’t save an environment and insufficient things.
