For several years, the TAT has been trying to boost the quality of tourists visiting Thailand from places like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, China and Scandinavia. This year, it will open overseas branches in Ho Chi Minh City, Dubai and Moscow to attract more visitors.

The authority's deputy governor for international markets, Jutaporn Reungronasa, said Thailand could draw more "trendy" tourist groups, including wedding couples, the double-income-no-kids (Dink) market and the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transvestite (GLBT) group.
