泰拟对外国游客收观光费

泰拟对外国游客收观光费

泰国《世界日报》报道,观光与体育部常务次长蓬帕诺说,目前正是时候研究、审核向外国游客征收来泰观光费思路,将这部分所得用来管理、维护景区环境以及维修基础设施等。他举个例子,马来西亚发布了公告,从明年起向外国游客每人征收800泰铢(约33新元)。

观光与体育部部长威拉萨镇则表示,准备将特殊区域旅游业可持续发展机构归入观光与体育部,因为会有更多的机会推广工作,特别是在可持续提高社区竞争力方面,让社区自主管理旅游景区及获得利益。

威拉萨说,泰国有5000多处景区分布在各地区,但是只能从中获得50%的利益,且各旅游资源由各部门管理,所以需要通过特殊区域旅游业可持续发展机构协调工作。除了现在已经发现的景区,泰国还有很多没有登记或者发现的景区,如洞穴景区,目前已经发现4000多个洞穴景区,但是大部分都是由寺庙管理。

Tom yum

Tom yum



Tom yum or tom yam (UK: /ˌtɒm ˈjæm, - ˈjʌm/, US: /- ˈjɑːm/; Thai: ต้มยำ, RTGS: tom yam [tôm jām] (About this sound listen)) is a type of hot and sour Thai soup, usually cooked with shrimp (prawn). Tom yum has its origin in Thailand. In recent years,[when?] tom yam has been popularised around the world.

The words "tom yam" are derived from two Thai words. Tom refers to the boiling process, while yam refers to a Thai spicy and sour salad. Indeed, tom yum is characterised by its distinct hot and sour flavours, with fragrant spices and herbs generously used in the broth. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lime juice, fish sauce, and crushed chili peppers.

Commercial tom yum paste is made by crushing all the herb ingredients and stir frying in oil. Seasoning and other preservative ingredients are then added. The paste is bottled or packaged and sold around the world. Tom yum flavored with the paste may have different characteristics from that made with fresh herb ingredients. The soup often includes meats such as chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp.

The 1997 Financial Crisis in Asia, which started in Thailand, is sometimes referred to as the "Tom Yam Kung Crisis".
