1.9m sign up for domestic travel perkResidents in Khon Kaen signs up for a tourism stimulus package on the first day of registration on Wednesday. The quota is capped at 5 million hotel rooms. The registration process went smoothly without any server crashes as the system is based on the registration process of www.เราไม่ทิ้งกัน.com (“Nobody will be left behind” in Thai), allowing self-employed people to register to receive financial aid, said Mr Lavaron. There was a minor problem with delays on receiving a one-time password to enter for the registration process, with only a handful of people experiencing this issue, he said. When tourists travel by airlines, the government will refund 40% of the ticket price, but no more than 1,000 baht per seat and the quota is limited to 2 million seats.
