Thai Hotels Group Says Thai Chuey Thai Plus Would Bring Only Short Boost
Thai Hotels Group Says Thai Chuey Thai Plus Would Bring Only Short Boost — confirmed details at this stage for Phuket readers.
The Southern Chapter of the Thai Hotels Association said on May 9, 2026, that the proposed Thai Chuey Thai Plus scheme would stimulate spending only in the short term, while urging a broader strategy to strengthen Phuket and the wider economy. The group also warned that the Land Bridge project risks failing to deliver value for its investment and said logistics and energy capacity should be improved instead.
SCATH questions Land Bridge returns and urges infrastructure focus
SCATH said the Land Bridge could face cost-effectiveness problems, signalling concern that returns may not justify the scale of investment required.
It recommended shifting attention toward logistics and energy systems, arguing those sectors would better support long-term economic competitiveness.
The association’s position links immediate stimulus measures with structural policy, suggesting temporary support alone would not address deeper constraints on growth.
Its comments placed transport efficiency and energy capability at the center of a longer-term development agenda.
