With the goal of tripling spiritual tourism revenue over the next ten years, Thailand’s Tourism Authority (TAT) has provided complimentary guides to 60 holy locations.
From Bangkok’s ancient principal temples to a spiritual theme park in Chachoengsao with the biggest Ganesh statue in the nation, “Connecting to Spiritual Thailand” covers it all.
With research from Future Market Insights in 2023 predicting a tripling of this sector’s economic value over the following ten years, the e-guidebook seeks to capitalize on growing global interest in spiritual tourism.
The book, which has the subtitle “A Guide to 60 Powerspots,” explores the purity, history, and culture of holy places and sheds insight on their rich cultural diversity and religious significance. The project seeks to give spiritual seekers a fully immersive experience.
In an effort to distribute tourism revenue more fairly outside of large cities, it also emphasizes locations in secondary provincial cities. The region-by-region guide is packed with photos, route maps, and English descriptions to help visitors plan their trips and get most out of them.
The following places are recommended for spiritual tourism:
