Nearly 100,000 Malaysian tourists took advantage of the long weekend in conjunction with Malaysia Day to vacation in Southern Thailand – contributing more than 1 billion Baht to the local economy.
“Surveys conducted by authorities in Southern Thailand show that throughout this long weekend—Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday—more than 100,000 tourists from Malaysia have visited Southern Thailand, particularly Hat Yai and Songkhla, as well as neighbouring provinces like Phatthalung, Trang, and Krabi,“ he said when contacted by Bernama on Monday.
Meanwhile, Roosfa Hashim, a lecturer at the International Islamic University Malaysia hailing from Bandar Baru Bangi, said he has been visiting Southern Thailand for the past 30 years while conducting research for UKM Press. Roosfa, who was met in Pattani, added that popular destinations for Malaysian tourists include Hat Yai, Krabi, and Phuket due to their proximity and efficient public transportation, both by land and air.
