BANGKOK, Jan 5 (TNA) – A mobile application will be launched soon to facilitate Chinese tourists, visiting Thailand, said Immigration Police Commissioner Police Lieutenant General Surachet Hakparn.
A meeting was held between Pol. Lt. Gen. Surachet and executives of WeChat-operator Tencent Holdings Ltd to find ways to persuade more Chinese tourists to visit the kingdom.
Pol. Lt. Gen. Surachet said the ‘Tie Thai’ application will be developed to allow Chinese tourists to request a visa on arrival and to pay for the visa fee through WeChat Pay mobile payment app.
The application will provide information on tourism and shopping services in Thailand and will be linked with the ‘Tactics Connect’, operated by the Royal Thai Police, to ensure the tourist safety while staying in Thailand. (TNA)
