Outstanding Travel Itinerary: Thailand Tourism Silver Award
On the 27th of September 2023, our team had the distinct privilege of receiving the ‘Outstanding Travel Itinerary: Thailand Tourism Silver Award’ during a remarkable ceremony attended by distinguished guests, including Her Royal Majesty Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Siriwattana Phannawadee.
This recognition is the 14th Thailand Tourism Award, a distinguished honor that acknowledges and celebrates the best and brightest in Thailand’s travel industry.
The Thailand Tourism Awards: Celebrating Excellence
The Thailand Tourism Awards are among the most prestigious accolades in the country’s travel and tourism industry. Organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and other relevant government bodies, these awards are designed to recognize and applaud excellence, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to quality across various sectors of the tourism industry.
Winning a Thailand Tourism Award is not merely a recognition; it is a testament to a company’s unwavering dedication to providing exceptional travel experiences and promoting sustainable and responsible tourism practices.
Royal Recognition: A Special Honor
What makes our recent award even more extraordinary is that it was personally presented to us by Her Royal Majesty Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Siriwattana Phannawadee.

Receiving an award from a princess is a rare and distinguished honor, and it signifies not only the excellence of Discovery Travel’s services but also the recognition and support from the highest levels of Thai society.
