Tourism
Tourism is a major contributor to the Thai economy with the peak Christmas and New Year period usually being the most lucrative time of the year for the Thai tourist industry. Hotels and resorts ensure that those on holiday or vacation in Thailand don’t miss out on the Christmas festivities with gala dinners and special events being laid on. Staff in bars and restaurants can be seen wearing red and white Christmas hats whilst enterprising street and beach vendors will try and sell you festive novelties. Because it’s all done with a uniquely Thai style it’s sanuk mak ma.
