Tour operators continue their journey to Thailand without confusion due to the earthquake of Myanmar, who shook Bangkok on weekends.
The 7.7 -sized earthquake on Friday hit Myanmar and killed more than 1,700 in Myanmar and killed more than 18 people in Thailand, the Associated Press reported. Some travel agencies say Travel Weekly is not affected by the current and coming trips.
G Adventure, Bold Travel, Collette, Kensington and EF World Travels have all reported no confusion about the Thai journey, but continues to monitor development. There are no operators who currently offer a Myanmar schedule.
Jennifer Gardner, a customized tour operator Kensington’s product manager, said, “Our regional team in Thailand essentially confirmed that the situation has been essentially returned in this country.” The overall impact is minimized. Public transportation is operated normally, the airport is open and the service has been completely resumed in addition to some temporary turmoil. ”
The Thai Tourism Bureau said the Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra declared an emergency area to Bangkok, but airports, roads and trains are operating normally. All tourism -related services in Bangkok are operated as usual, and all events and festivals are maintained as scheduled.
The Thai Bank said in a statement, “The situation in relation to the tourism sector can return to normal and resumes all the activities that are planned by both domestic and international travelers.” Thailand remains a safe tourism destination, and government officials maintain the boundary monitoring of the conditions, perform a comprehensive building safety inspection, and are influenced by the earthquake.

EF World Journeys, like Collette and Intrepid, currently has several Thai tour groups in Thailand. The spokesman said that the company’s Thai office was evacuated, but all employees were safe.
Intrepid has begun an online fundraiser through the Intrepid Foundation, a non -profit weapon, after the Myanmar earthquake, and nearly $ 53,000 during the weekend. The company said it will match up to $ 100,000 donation.
