AIS Boosts Northeast Thailand's Tourism with 5G for Candle Festivals

Leading Thai telecommunications provider AIS is enhancing its support for the 'Candle Festivals,' a significant cultural event in Northeast Thailand, through the application of 5G technology. This traditional festival, particularly celebrated in Ubon Ratchathani and Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat) provinces, represents a crucial opportunity for revitalizing the local economy and attracting tourists. By providing a high-speed and stable communication environment during the festival period, AIS aims to enable attendees to share the festivities in real-time and access related information more easily. This initiative not only promotes the development of digital infrastructure within Thailand but also encourages the utilization of digital tools in showcasing regional cultural heritage to both domestic and international audiences. AIS is focusing on unlocking the potential of Thailand's tourism industry, especially in its rural areas, through the expansion of its 5G network.
