The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) celebrated the 58th anniversary of its founding with traditional Thai ceremonies on Monday.

At the TAT headquarters, TAT board chairman Kalin Sarasin and governor Yuthasak Supasorn led the ceremony, with staff, former TAT governors as well as private sector and media representatives in attendance.

Ceremonies to mark the occasion included a Buddhist monk blessing; a ritual to worship the Cham Devi Shrine, which houses a statue of Chao Mae Cham Devi; and the paying of respect to a bronze image of Field Marshall Sarit Thanarat, who established TAT (then the Tourism Organisation of Thailand) in 1960.

In the afternoon, former TAT governors were presented with Buddha images, and senior staff were awarded for their long-serving contributions.
