Comment on PHIST 2026 puts sustainability centre stage by Stefan Heintze

Excellent article covering all the contemporary needs, with an emphasis on the essence of sustainability. How to hold various stakeholders accountable is indeed another key approach, especially when it comes to measurable results. It’s also great to see that Phuket, particularly the Phuket Hotel Association, is taking a leading role in this. Bravo!

While there may be so much fun and fanfare to be at site of the MATTA Fair we old folks will be challenged somewhat just to buy cheaper flights. Would we enjoy same discounts by purchasing flight tickets online?

Comment on Brockenchack uncorks new chapter in Thailand by Andrew J WOOD (AJW)

An excellent and very informative article, Dr Scott. I particularly enjoyed the background detail on Thailand’s wine market and how it is evolving, especially the growing interest in premium wines and consumers wanting to understand more about wine selection and food pairing.

The fact that Thailand is now ASEAN’s largest wine market is particularly interesting and gives useful context to Brockenchack’s arrival here.

A great introduction to the winery, but also a fascinating snapshot of where the Thai wine market is heading. Well written and very enjoyable. Congratulations! 🍷🇹🇭🇦🇺

Health & fitness and Wellness continue to be major ‘drivers’ for travel and tourism. Savvy Thai marketeers would do well to target the up coming Bkk Marathon:

“The Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok 28-29 November 2026”

Yes, indeed. Singaporeans too are beginning to discover a new hidden gem in the extreme north of Thailand after Scoot started the direct nonstop flight from Singapore to Chiang Rai since January this year.

Thank you, Rodney. Centara Grand Beach Resort Hua Hin (AKA The Railway Hotel) is a wonderful example and one of Thailand’s true heritage treasures Rodders as you know. Its elegant colonial design, beautiful gardens and timeless atmosphere give it a character that many wish to replicate.
Best
