Asked about relaxing the restrictions on foreigners working as tour guides – which was suggested by coup leader Gen Prayuth Chan-Ocha in his weekly national TV broadcast last Friday (August 22) because it “can lead to a shortage of … guides” – Mr Santi answered, “As long as I get no official letter telling me to relax the rules, I will go on enforcing the law as usual.
“This conference is aimed at educating all tour operators about the Tourism Business and Guide Act of 2008, and to inform them in advance that I plan to strictly enforce this law,” said Santi Pawai, director of the office and also recently appointed as registrar of the Southern Office of Tourism Business and Guide Registration.
At a one-day conference for tourism businesses organized on Wednesday it was announced that a planned crackdown on illegal tour guides and tour companies skating around the law, scheduled to begin yesterday (August 28) has been postponed until early next month.
