March 10, 2016 by vietnamnews Leave a Comment

By Robert Bicknell Việt Nam won the “Asia’s Best Golf Destination 2018” award at the World Golf Awards last November. This is the second time Việt Nam has won. In addition, The Grand Ho Tram Strip won for “Asia’s Best Golf Hotel” and Ba Na Hill Golf Club in Đà Nẵng won the title of “Asia’s Best Golf Course”. The Việt Nam National Tourism Administration (VNAT) says “the tourism sector needs to devise a long-term development plan to popularize and bolster growth and investment in Việt Nam” and chose one of the biggest names in golf, Greg Norman, to act as a tourism representative for the country. Norman, aka “The Great White Shark” knows a thing or two about golf in Việt Nam as he designed five of the top courses in the country including The Da Nang Dunes Course, The Bluffs at the Ho Tram Strip, and KN Golf Links in Nha Trang.

Pabuk tropical storm makes landfall in Thailand on January 4. (Photo: VNA) Bangkok (VNA) – At least five people were reported dead after tropical storm Pabuk, with winds reaching 70 kilometres per hour, battered southern coast of Thailand on January 4, Thai media said on January 5. Strong winds crumbled rooftops, uprooted trees and felled electrical poles while downpours inundated roads, isolated many areas in Nakhon Si Thammarat province. Meanwhile, Surat Thani airport in Surat Thani province was ordered to close on January 4 and 5 due to bad weather. Ferry services have been ceased. Two of the country’s biggest gas production platforms in the Gulf of Thailand have suspended operations, and their personnel has been evacuated to shore as the platforms were in the direct path of the storm. CNN quoted the district chief of Surat Thani province’s Koh Samui island as saying on January 5 that there are about 20,000 tourists staying on the island, which is the second … [Read more...] about Storm Pabuk wreaks havoc in Thailand

December 29, 2018 by vir Leave a Comment

Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha decried "opportunists" on Saturday (Dec 29) after a wave of coordinated bomb attacks by suspected insurgents hit Thailand's Muslim-majority "deep south" in the lead-up to the New Year holidays. The region bordering Malaysia has been in the grip of a low-level but bloody insurgency for more than a decade as ethnic Malay militants battle the Buddhist-majority state AFP/Madaree TOHLALA The region bordering Malaysia has been in the grip of a low-level but bloody insurgency for more than a decade as ethnic Malay militants battle the Buddhist-majority state for greater autonomy. Since 2004, insurgents armed with homemade bombs and grenades have clashed with Thailand's powerful military, killing nearly 7,000 people, mostly civilians, of both Muslim and Buddhist faith. However, 2017 saw a record low of 235 people killed in clashes. The latest attacks occurred Friday night in a series of seven separate incidents in three different districts of … [Read more...] about Spike in bomb and grenade attacks in Thailand”s restive south

Thailand suffers slump in number of Chinese tourists

October 3, 2018 by vietnamplus Leave a Comment

A temple in Bangkok (Source: Xinhua) Bangkok (VNA) – Despite various measures to improve its image, Thailand has struggled to end its slump in the number of Chinese visitors, which is a great risk to an economy that is largely dependent on tourism. An unofficial report showed that the number of Chinese visitors to Thailand fell 12 percent in August 2018, the strongest drop in over a year, pushing the total number of foreign tourists to the country down to nearly lowest level in 16 months. Chinese tourists are the main source of foreign currency income for Thailand’s tourism sector, which makes up about one fifth of the country’s total GDP. Thailand estimates that Chinese visitors contribute one third of the total 65 billion USD that foreign tourists spend in the Southeast Asian country each year. The major reason behind the fall is the July boat accident in Phuket which killed dozens of Chinese tourists, along with other problems such as dengue fever outbreak, … [Read more...] about Thailand suffers slump in number of Chinese tourists

Dogs are back on the table in Vietnam

September 13, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

A recent statement by the Hanoi administration calling on residents to refrain from eating dog and cat meat in order to promote a “civilized” image has reignited a debate that shows no sign of being settled any time soon. “The city wants people to see the value in treatment animals humanely,” the statement said. It has received both support and criticism from prominent citizens and the common man. Historian Nguyen Ngoc Tien said consumption of dog meat in Vietnam dates back to the French colonial times. “Since 1888, the French banned the consumption of dog meat, as Europeans think they’re cute creatures,” he said. The police even punished those who did, he added. The ban was lifted in 1936. Food stalls selling dog meant began sprouting up on some of Hanoi’s most iconic streets in the Old Quarter, like Ma May and Hang Luoc. “People who loved eating dog meat were often from the countryside,” Tien said. He claimed city folk were … [Read more...] about Dogs are back on the table in Vietnam

Chinese visits to Thailand to fall after deadly boating accident

August 2, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

The accident that killed nearly 50 people is threatening to be a potential blow to the country's vital tourism sector, officials forecast. The Phoenix was carrying 105 people -- mostly Chinese -- when it sank on the way back from a popular snorkeling spot on July 5 off the southern resort island of Phuket. It was among three vessels which ignored a bad weather warning against island day trips. The boat's captain, an engineer and the owner of the company that operates the vessel have been arrested and are being held while authorities conduct an investigation, Phuket police told AFP. Divers and the navy spent more than a week retrieving bodies, some from inside the boat, with the final death toll at 47 Chinese nationals. Tourists from China made up almost a quarter of Thailand's 35 million visitors last year, official statistics show. In a statement provided to AFP, the Ministry of Tourism and Sports revised down its forecasted number of Chinese arrivals for July-December by nearly … [Read more...] about Chinese visits to Thailand to fall after deadly boating accident
