Thailand Tourism Authority Preparing Response To Middle East Conflict
With the joint Israel-US military operations against the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran still going on, the tourism authority of Thailand announced it is preparing measures to ease the effects of the conflict on its tourism sector, according to a news report of VnExpress. Already the conflict caused a series of economic disruptions affecting air travel and the prices of services and products offered to tourists.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is preparing measures to mitigate the impact of tensions in the Middle East on the country’s tourism sector, including proposals to stimulate domestic travel and short-haul flights.
Following consultations with private operators, TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool said the agency is promoting Thailand as a safe destination and plans to suggest the establishment of a strategic operations unit to monitor flight capacity, load factors, oil prices and travel costs.
TAT also plans to use the remaining central budget under the Thailand Summer Blast scheme, which supports inbound flights to Thailand, to back airlines and promote both major and secondary cities.
It is considering adjustments to an existing subsidy program for charter flights to cover long-haul markets, as well as incentives such as free domestic flights for international visitors and co-payment schemes to boost local tourism.
Thailand aims to capitalize on the situation by positioning itself as an aviation hub linking Europe with Asia and Australia, while adjusting flight schedules to attract more direct long-haul services. At the same time, efforts will be made to rebalance international tourism markets by focusing on China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Southeast Asia.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you intend to visit Thailand over the next six months? Does the war against Iran discourage you from traveling overseas?

Survey Shows Almost 8 Out Of 10 Filipinos Trust Japan
Recently a survey conducted by OCTA Research and commissioned by the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines revealed that almost eight out of ten Filipinos trust Japan, according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA).
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the PNA. Some parts in boldface…
A survey of a private polling and research firm, OCTA Research, released on Monday showed that eight in 10 adult Filipinos trust Japan.
The survey, commissioned by the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines and conducted from December 3 to 11, 2025, among 1,200 respondents aged 18 and above, asked the question: “How much does the Philippines trust Japan?”
A total of 79 percent of the respondents answered they “strongly trust/somewhat trust” Japan, while at least 17 percent responded “can’t say if I trust or not”, and 4 percent have shown distrust.
This result suggests that positive perceptions of Japan are deeply embedded in Philippine public opinion.
Filipinos also trust the Japanese people, with 74 percent expressing trust and 6 percent expressing distrust. About 20 percent answered that they are undecided.
This indicates that goodwill toward Japan extends to interpersonal perceptions of Japanese citizens, according to OCTA Research.
Most or 70 percent of the respondents said they view the relationship between the Philippines and Japan as “very good” while 24 percent view it as neither good nor poor.
These favorable perceptions of Japan were observed across Metro Manila, Balance (of) Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as across socioeconomic classes.
“Cultural exchanges, tourism, educational cooperation, and the growing Filipino community in Japan contribute to familiarity and mutual goodwill between the two societies,” OCTA Research said.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the governments of Japan and the Philippines should engage more with each other diplomatically, economically and militarily? Do you think Filipinos see the Japanese as an ally while the Philippines remains in conflict with Communist China at the West Philippine Sea? Are you one of the hundreds of thousands of Filipinos who traveled to Japan yearly?

You know, people attack my shit as #AIwritten all the time. So for once, I asked people I trust to tell me if I am not the only one. The result was shockingly interesting. #Fediverse space is at least if anything else, completely honest. #genaiwriting #genai #chatgpt #writing @lwinner.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

<p>ChatGPT всё? OpenAI начинает внедрять рекламу в чат-бот. Первыми «счастливчиками» станут пользователи из США на бесплатном тарифе и плане Go. Компания ищет новые способы монетизации, чтобы покрыть колоссальные расходы на инфраструктуру. Готовы ли вы к рекламным паузам в диалогах с ИИ?</p>
