THE country could lose up to 200,000 foreign visitors and Bt10.16 billion in tourism revenue this year, the head of the Tourism Authority of Thailand said yesterday, after a series of deadly blasts in tourist towns last week.

AUTHORITIES believe that all the more than 10 bomb attacks over the past two days across several southern provinces, which are not parts of the deep South, are connected.

Leading Asian media and organizations have sent messages of support via The Nation to the Thai people to stay strong and united amidst adversities - in a show of solidarity following the Aug 17 bombing at Erawan Shrine near Ratchaprasong intersection.
