"Thailand's southern beaches are world-renowned with many tourists from around the world visiting every year. We are delighted that they have been recognised by TripAdvisor as one of the best beaches in Asia. We hope to continue welcoming more visitors to our beautiful Thai beaches," said Pichaya Saisaengchan, director for Domestic Public Relations Division for Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
