The Tourist Authority of Thailand has proposed making military facilities open to the public. TAT asked the Thai navy to open warships, firing ranges and training camps. Foreign visitors are quite excited about naval and military museums, survival courses, and rides in vintage armored vehicles and aircraft.
Tours of military facilities are expected to lure travelers from China, who are not permitted to visit them in their homeland. Another objective is to diversify leisure options, adding to Thailand’s popularity as a tourist destination.
