| Thailand goes from amazing to miraculous Posted: 28 Aug 2011 10:13 PM PDT  Suddenly, being amazing just isn't good enough. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is reportedly planning to replace its long-running "Amazing Thailand" theme with a campaign called "Miracle Thailand." According to The Nation, the TAT wants 8.4 billion baht from the government to finance the 2011-2012 tourism campaign. Officials say the extra funds would be spent mostly on marketing activities both at home and abroad.      |
| ‘Shoes off, please’: China tightens airport security Posted: 28 Aug 2011 09:36 PM PDT  Tips for travelers set to depart from Shanghai and Beijing airports: head to the airport as early as possible, wear boat shoes or slippers and don't even bother to pack your carry-on nicely. Beginning at midnight, August 29, the China Civil Aviation authority surprised many travelers by raising its security standard to level 2 at Shanghai and Beijing airports. This means passengers face higher chances of being asked to remove shoes and belts. At least 50 percent of passengers will be asked to open their carry-on bags for thorough searches.    |
