Mr. Suphakit Vuntanadit, Group Chief Commercial Officer, True Corporation Plc. said, "Tourism in Thailand has been continuously growing, particularly from Chinese tourists who consider Thailand a top destination to visit. Last year, Thailand welcomed 9.5 million Chinese tourists, with the number this year expected to reach 12 million. We are now collaborating with WeChat to ensure that Chinese tourists in Thailand are not only enjoying sightseeing and great food, but also have great experiences which they can share on their social networks while traveling. This includes access to travel content, maps and navigation, but most importantly, to give them a more hassle-free experience during their visit. With the TrueMove H 4G+ HD network, Chinese tourists can experience the strength of our top-notch service nationwide."
